mjoyeux Jun 2012 9:23am, 6 Jun 2012 7 posts	Quote Pin mjoyeux I sent in an entry through the Ballot and I did the Marathon of the North in a Good for Age time. So I then sent in my details for a good for age entry. As yet, I've not received my GFA form yet. Has anyone who've sent a GFA form got anything back? I've also done Edinburgh in a good for age time, should I send that off too in support of my application?

HappyG(rrr) Jun 2012 10:18pm, 9 Jun 2012 17,529 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) I jokingly thought I'd start the first VLM2013 thread, but I see you lot have got there already!! 13 July deadline to but note a very short time 27 July for them to get the form out to you and for you to return it. Don't miss that window (like I did in 2011!) I called them every day for a week, but to be honest, it wasn't necessary. They get your proof, they send you a form with your number pre-printed on it, you're in. You then just must remember to return that actual form. That's where the "after 13 July but before 27 July" fun comes in. Better hope you're not out of the country on your holidays or something. Because this is a real paper form, delivered to your house and you really have to return a form, by old fashioned post, and everything! Good luck all the Good For Agers! :-)G
