As most of you know, BCR is an affiliated group of the Long Distance Walkers Association. One of the benefits is reduced entry fees at LDWA events such as That's Lyth.

This Friday I will be going to the Annual General Meeting and Social Weekend at Skipton. Following the AGM there is an 'open forum' where any topic can be discussed. If anyone has any issues that you would like me to raise please let me know by Friday morning.

I had a good time at the Annual General Meeting and Social Weekend, but had to miss the walk in order to run at Dent.

The Events Secretary's report contained the following: "We continue to attract more runners to our events. The feedback they provide shows that they are hugely appreciative of the welcome and good value that we offer." In the open forum I relayed to the meeting the positive comments I had heard about That's Lyth from our members, and pointed out that LDWA events provide a welcome alternative to the longer fell races, without the demanding time limits that we can easily fall foul of.

The LDWA has launched its new web site. It contains loads of information on events, challenge walks and many other things. Take a look at www.ldwa.org.uk.
