The cost of success

A difficult issue here, Southville RC, who have been absolute stars in promoting themselves as a great group, inclusive, and obviously doing so much right, have been been brave enough to invite feedback, and thus received it.

For what, 10 minutes twice a week, they bring health, happiness, and well-being to maybe 100 people (and society as a whole), but it upsets some people.

I see similar issues with cycling.

It’s all the same to me: People feeling physically confident, on the streets, happy and engaged in their environment is good for the person, and good for society.

I really hope this issue is resolved, and everyone can see they have a common goal, with mutual benefit.

Compromise is not enough. Collaboration takes us further.

It's funny but my experience of road running is that I'm the one forced into the road while pedestrians remain steadfast and resolute across the entire width of the pavement - but it doesn't bother me too much. And if I'm honest I do think we should set high standards and be the ones to give way. That way no one can have any complaint and we can continue to do what we do - and, of course, legitimately look down on them with self righteous smugness :-)

Hmmm who is 'Samantha' really speaking for and representing? 1 negative comment does not a community make..
However I agree with you and Madrunner (like I would!) and yep, let's take the moral high ground from the higher plain running takes us.
