The FRA does not necessarily need to be involved! Bear in mind that the FRA is an only an association as its title suggests, it is a group of individuals that have chosen to form a club. Any individual or event organiser can choose to associate with the FRA or not, it isnt compulsory and the FRA standards are not the only way to organise and run an event. As long as an event organiser takes the time to consider the risks and undertakes a risk assessment to protect both themselves and the public, they are quite free to run an event.

There is no legislation to force affiliation to the FRA anymore than there is for the FA, BCU, BMC, MLTB, FSB, NFU, NSA or any other trade or sporting federation you can think of. This is quite correct IMHO, no-one organistaion should be able to take total control of any sport or industry.

Mark, it wasnt listed for the reasons you think - was more invite only this year due to lack of budget, space etc..... Mike and co decided not to list it.

Thats what I understand anyway.

all i have to say is oops, yes thorak did get thrown out the arena and yes my stomache did churn as i saw where it was going. it was very unfortunate and luckily no-one was hurt

While a couple of robots did go out of the arena, they did not escape the fencing and were deactivated immediately.

Id like to say thanks to those people at Brighton who gave feedback on my new feather.

Have now got the speed control so i should have it running this week.
Sheffield is a bit of a trek for me but i hope to be out to play soon.

yes glen i really liked the look of your new feather, its a shame you couldnt made it into the arena to play. i did enjoy putting the football robot in to play with the feathers @ only 6KG it was bouncing off everything especially G3 if ive the name right it was a good laugh

Are you going to be going to Magna? It looks great in the picture.
