Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Oooh, that's a bit strange! Are the great run people generally known for doing things like that?? I never got an email telling me that i wasn't sucessfull in the telegraph ballot but they said that was a fault with their email server (or some other IT thing) Looked on RW and 1 person on there found out via the link yesterday!

Am doing my tenth this year. I think its getting silly prices. My OH paid for the next three years membership and entry for me for Xmas, as I said I wasn't going to. I did want to do 10 though. Anyone thought of looking for hotels in Sunderland area. The metro system is good to get to the start. I love the day, the atmosphere is great. Agree the goodybag was naff last year!

Glad I saw this thread... was worrying as I haven't heard anything. Neither has a guy I work with. Has anyone heard through the main ballot?
