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

Oooh, we could have a "fight-to-the-death" competition for our FLM places :-)

We could call it Big Fercer :-)

Does not wanting to run with the parents of my students count as reason not to join my local club? There is a somewhat local about a 30-45 drive from me.....i'd be proud to be a FERCer though....if I was able to get a fetch shirt :o)

I'm already a member of a running club but at most races I'm the only runner from our Club... Supposing I become a FERCer and I enter a race naming FERC as my "Affiliated Club" and run in a Fetch vest - would I and the other FERCers then be eligible for a team prize if there were sufficient FERCers finishing high enough in the placings?

This is very interesting - well done Sir Fetch.

I'm not sure what the point of joining would be, as I'm already a member of another club. BUT.... joining to help get FLM places is something I'd think about.

Of course we'd have to think about how we'd go about distributing the FLM places fairly. I propose that everyone has to commit to doing it in fancy dress, and all those people that have run FLM in fancy dress in prior years get lifetime exemption

Agree?

Fancy dress? I thought that mankini was your regular running attire...

I'd join for all the reasons mentioned above, not being able to get to a local club on time etc... But will we have a club night and club training to do?

I can't wait to be a FERCer :-)

Second claim for me though :-)

I bet we end up with the largest running club in the country... :-)

I'm in too. Shift work and family commitments would only enable me to run with the local club once a month, at best.
