SIR - I read, with some puzzlement, your item on the forthcoming Santa Fun Run.
If the desired aim of the organisers is to increase the number of participants, how is it that they have increased the entrance fee from £10 to £15 and have made a condition of entry a pledge of at least £40 in sponsorship? This seems to me that it will have the opposite effect.
Together with four other family members, I usually take part in these runs, but as the amount of sponsorship required is beyond our means, we cannot enter this year's event much to our disappointment.
The organisers have taken the 'fun' out of fun run!
BRIAN ABDALE,
Worcester.
