I can't join my local club for various reasons ( mostly family commitments) , will i be given a hard time if i join FERC as a first claim club?
I read that as natmag rodale would pay the registration fee too M4P!

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 :-)
