Clubs and Disciplinary Matters

[Eleanor]

If a race is listed in the Calendar with an "R" it is Permitted and Insured through the FRA. (see page 11). Some races, eg in Scotland, would not be.

Graham, thanks. I thought so but started to doubt myself. It's my first season officially advising parents and this thread has reminded me that I could drop myself and my club into trouble if I don't get my facts right. I really, really want to get the Ambleside juniors into fell races, and I really, really do not want to get bogged down and / or blamed for misdemeanours. I'm not trying to pick holes in any rules, I just hadn't engaged with these particular ones before. It's enough to get my head round learning to BE a coach and the Level 2 coaching assessments, and if anyone thinks of something else I ought to know but might not, please post it here, as long as you then don't mind me asking stupid questions.

And if you see the Ambleside team at any Junior events, do shout them (and me) some encouragement, as now you know we are new to it!
