De-registration of Cumberland AC

15th Apr 2010

Cumberland AC are not now an athletic club registered as so with UKA.  They are now members of a rival association, the Association of Running Clubs (ARC).

The implications of this are given below:

  1. CAC members are now unattached runners and become liable to pay the unattached levy.
  2. CAC members are “free agents” and as such can transfer to another club without penalty (ie they do not have to wait 9 months before they can represent their new club.
  3. In the case of CAC members who were second claim to another club (many are also members of CFR), are now first claim members of that club.
  4. CAC members entering a race should be given the opportunity to alter his/her entry form to another club.
  5. It is acceptable that CAC members appear in the results as “u/a (Cumb AC)”
  6. Cumberland AC can no longer enter teams in UKA (inc county) championships.
  7. It is acceptable for CAC to enter teams in open road races, providing all their team is not a member of another UKA club.
  8. These rules apply to other ARC registered clubs e.g. Great Langdale AC and Lonsdale Fell Runners.  
  9. Some clubs are members of both UKA and ARC   Allen Valley Striders and Morpeth Harriers for example.
