You also need to be in the WFRA to feature in the Welsh Champs and North South/Wales Series. If not, you are scored in the individual races but part way into the season they do a champs table and you suddenly find yourself off the table!

This is however clearly stated on their website.
First "But"
In Wales there is the option for Organisers who are already registered to Welsh Athletics to register the race with them.
The WFRA don't have a monopoly on officially sanctioned fell races.

Second "But" is that yes they have an option to add a surcharge to WFRA events for non WFRA runners. I'm not sure if that race is then "under UKA Rules". It could be, but it could be separate from them.

Third - I know Ba-Ba understands it to be optional. I understand that isn't the case but I could be proven wrong in due course.
