Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Could you elect to send you fee to Scottish Athletics instead of the English body?

For us FERC would be more convenient to WW and myself as we both couldn't attend club nights together( because of minding LMG) so at the moment it would suit our needs until such a time that we could join a local club

OK, let me rephrase. It will cost YOU £3.50 per year (rising to £5.50 when UKA put their prices up next year), but there's a one-off payment of £50 to register the club. So for example, if we get 10 members, we have to give UKA £80 in total, and I get £5 to spend on stamps.

sounds very reasonable, even at £5.50, considering we get £2 off all the races we enter :-)
