fell ponies is an informal club consisting of people who don't want to be in a recognized club ( such as ourselves ) but want to be one step up from a unattached runner.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. 
Why do you now want to be in a recognized club?
I'm confused.

The members of Fell Ponys are county-wide, therefore have no base like ourselves(the Pits ), no structured training, and as far as I know, no membership fees. They do have a club vest and appear on results as 'fell ponys'.

Thanks again.
It's all very clear now.

Why does someone want to be a member of a club if they don't want to be club member? If that makes sense.

Cause Fell Ponies only run on the fells ,not the road, I assume their club isnt affiliated to UKA and doesnt pay a levy to them, unlike our own club. As for being in a club, one assumes its down to a natural human instinct to 'herd' together.

He's been on the fell running forum telling of receiving his fell ponys vest. See if he runs at Ravenstones as a Rossy or a Pony.

Half the fun in being in a club is a bit of scandal, bickering, back-stabbing, innuendo....................... beats Corry and talking about the weather.

politics in running clubs is a pain in the arse, things drag on, rumours start, etc.
