Hello Nic,

Are there plans to send out the survey by email or even post to FRA members? Will members be balloted? (I am not suggestion there is an obligation to do so.) Both proposals represent a fundamental change to the British Champs, so my concern is over consultation process.

Full disclosure of my own bias: I don’t favour either option & would actually prefer it remains as it is or increases to six (3 or 4 to count).

Another concern I have with proposal 2 is that it seems to heavily favour runners at English clubs. I am struggling to see how this will increase participation from NI, Wales & Scotland based clubs.

I do understand that a one or two race format may attract more runners & better prepare top level athletes for international competition, though I don’t think that’s what Champs races have to be all about.

I don’t doubt the good intentions of the MRAG & the FRA on this. It reads as a thoughtful & well considered proposal. My voice may well be a lonely one here - I am an also-ran who will be little impacted in a competitive sense, regardless of changes or not. Thanks for the hard work you & others do at the FRA.
