Resignation fromCommittee

[alwaysinjured]

[QUOTE=luxinterior;572344]

Madeleine and I were with Scoffer on Monday evening at the 7th RO workshop in Keswick. We talked a lot and joked about his other race (Steel Fell). He has no problems. In the room were the RO for Borrowdale, Sedbergh Hills, Fairfield, Langdale, and others.. none of those four are just jogs round a park. Mike Robinson was there. I had a long chat with Roger Bell about Langdale. Was he happy with everything Madeleine and I and Jon Broxap and Nick Harris had said that evening? Would Langdale be on etc etc?

I'm content with that thankyou and I'm sure most FRA members are aswell. So thankyou for what you are doing.

I think it is time to stop these threads, stop the insults, let the committee do what they are doing and be done with it. I imagine it is causing a lot of unneccessary stress to people who are giving up their free time for us.

Defacto that is true. I have given up.

But for avoidance of doubt on the rules: I have fallen in scoffers first couple of hundred metres, down that horrible lane, and banged a leg, and knackered an elbow Seen other slip, trip , fall and even trampled because of crowding there. And you only have to google "Michael Schumacher" to see how hitting an "unlucky" rock on the way down can end in tragedy, even when wearing a hard hat!

So no way on earth can scoffer sign up for " a field size that poses no risk of accidents due to overcrowding". A solicitor has expressed the same concern in general, though not about that race. And why on earth would we want that in the rules anyway? or guidelines that say "no hazardous ground" when none of the big ones comply. The fact that some agree to live with that, does not mean they should have to.

And for avoidance of doubt, the issue that radiates through the Sailbeck incident was lack of proper planning procedures. Until that is addressed, all are at risk.

At least one on that list called me a week ago wondering what else he could do other than FRA....

So there is still a problem, denying it won't make it better.

And to the relief of GB, and the cheering of most, there is a line drawn under it all regards this forum
