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!

I was looking through my watch list and this was the oldest thread. We’ve come a long way in 4 years...

Lol Dave. And I'm a bit mortified to see that I was balking at paying 10 quid on page 1. :-O Even what I pay now is cheaper than that Stoova thing! :-) G

Just saw the lanyard suggestion a couple of pages back. I would support a red "FETCH" silicon wristband if Lord Fetch thinks it is worth getting a batch made up. Would it be a way to add a bit to the Fetch coffers?

The reasoning for this is that it would be an item that could be worn at events and while running. I enter quite a few races where there are other Fetchies running and I don't know how to find them unless they are wearing a Fetch vest. I don't wear a Fetch vest, as I usually race in my "non-Fetch" running club vest. A wristband could be a really good identifier worn by Fetchies who are willing to be recognised!

Anyway, I've put this into the suggestion box, so if you think it's a good idea, please go and vote "yes"!

Would be even better if it had an ICE contact on it like the park run one does?

I was thinking a relatively inexpensive (but high quality!) standard wristband which might be a bit of a fundraiser.

These are great ideas, but I don't really know what the implications are in terms of the cost of making tailored/individual wristbands and whether Lord Fetch would assess that the take-up among us all would be high enough to make personalisation financially viable.

I have messaged him about this and will report back - although he may well choose to do so first!

I have one of these iceid.co.uk
Obviously Fetch branding might be a little challenging but the advantage to it is that if you have your Garmin (other watches are available), you have the ID
