Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting the FRA plan to add a (say) £2 levy to non FRA members.Originally Posted by noel
I'm offended by something that we all acknowledge isn't happening.
But given this is just a talking shop...
If we did take the argument to its logical conclusion that the FRA are dipping their toe into the waters of making non-FRA members contribute in some way...
Don't road races have a similar thing today anyway? Where it's eg, £8 for affiliated runners and £10 for non-affiliated runners. I don't see a problem with this - other than I don't want to spend the extra £2.
Adding £7 for Welsh races seems mighty cheeky. They obviously think Welsh races are oversubscribed!!
But it is clear there is some pressure from the FRA Membership who see the FRA as the Governing Body for fell in England to ensure that FRA members get the full member benefits and are concerned that at the moment non-FRA members get the same benefits.
But to your specific point Noel, there is already a system in place that the FRA could link in to if it wanted to ensure only registered runners could compete - it's the EA system.
