I've just posted my comments on FRA forum for what it's worth. Bit of a shame about all this really especially as we were looking like the gals had a team. Is it because PP's women not taken seriously in fell running circles? If so that's the most annoying part for me. Michelle, you can have a lie in now. Up to the men what they do but don't boycott on my behalf. Us girls will just do what we do best and go shopping, have our nails done and do some housework while you guys go and conquer the fells. Grrrrr!! :evil:

I've made the decision to accept the invitation to the Mens' team. I have several people who have said they are keen to participate. Please post your interest here (asap) if you are available for selection (and even if you have done so before).

I will continue to lobby the FRA for a more enlightened entry regime, that is respectful to our womenfolk, so this debacle doesn't occur again.

P.s, what reason was given to reject the women's team?

A single men's team entry for the FRA relay on Saturday 17th of October has been confirmed.

Because of the mess this has been, I'm asking if you can restate your desire to take part, even if you have expressed an interest previously.

The following have confirmed they want to participate:

Shaun Denham
Jon Greenwood
Leigh Hinchcliffe
Rob Samuels

I need two more and ideally a couple of reserves.



No specific reason has been given for the rejection of the women's team entry although in my correspondence with the RO he stated priority was given to those clubs that had previously fielded teams and this is the context of a greatly reduced capacity because its Pendle.

There's an on-going and seemingly endless debate on the FRA forum about this, if you want to weigh in.
