Keith Holmes has been running with and coaching junior runners with great success over the last few years. Following approaches from two junior runners to Ann Watmore and an approach from Keith everybody in the committee has agreed that having a junior section would be a great idea. The initial proposal details the limits of what is and is not on offer. It is perceived as one small step that helps Keith and his junior runners considerably. Members are encouraged to read the proposal as it explains what is involved.
The agreed proposal is:
“We suggest that we create a new category of junior membership, open to all young people between the ages of 10 & 18. Junior members would be eligible to compete for Dark Peak in FRA calendar races. They must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, or other responsible adult with parental consent confirmed using the FRA junior consent form. The club would circulate information about junior races open to such members. Junior members would not be allowed to participate in other club running activities.”
