Forum Future?

[Graham Breeze]

One point that seems to be missed is that the FRA is the Fell Running Association, not the Fell Racing Association.

It is absolutely clear that when the first Constitution was agreed the purpose of the association was about racing.

When the Fell Runners Association became a plc the Articles of Association reinforced the objects of the founding fathers and used the same key words as in the original constitution.

3. The FRA is established for the following objects (the "Objects"):

(a) to accept a transfer of the operations and affairs, assets and liabilities of the Association and to become the successor body to the Association;

(b) to encourage and promote fell running and allied mountain races having
due regard to the environmental and other impacts of the sport;

(c) to provide services to competitors, clubs and race organisers;

(d) to establish uniform regulations for the conduct of competitors, clubs
and race organisers; and

(e) to observe the Rules in so far as they concern fell running.


The Ramblers had been formed in 1935.
