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!

Post arrived.

No magazine though!

Am sure that must mean I'm a reject.

I thought my post hadn't arrived until I popped into my handy village sorting office and my postie said he had put a card through the door because I had a magazine and a "t-shirt" that he couldn't get through the letter box (I know then I was a reject :-( ).

When I got home I checked inside the letterbox and the flamin' card was wedged between the two flaps (ooo err misses!).

Moral of the story - check the inside bit of your letterbox because your postie might be as naff as mine!

Ballot says no.

Charity says yes.

Got confirmation this afternoon that I have my charity place (same charity that I ran for last year).

Am happy man. :)

IMHO VLM places are like buses. I have entered the ballot for the last few years ( not sure how many, 4 or 5) without success. Yesterday I got my first acceptance and today I got.... my second. I now have two entries and two different running numbers for 2011 :)

simpleeeee
can anyone tell me how this works, if i get in this year and run what are the chances of getting in again next year? is there a guaranteed entry system or something like they run at the great north run where you can pay some sort of premium to guarantee entry for a couple of years?

The rules of the ballot are a dark art, it's like voodoo. But the answer to your second question is no.
