Ah, but did you get a fleece?

Dolphin17

no should i have??

[Deleted User]

well, apparently if you bequeath you get a free fleece... but i have heard tell you don't get one if you get in.. so that would make it a no for me since the posite couldn't deliver my mag due to it being too big fo rthe letterbox.. can fit RW through so reckon the fleece was in there

Hurrah for bequeathing - I got my magazine this morning with confirmation I was one of the lucky 1,000

I didn't need a new fleece anyway

Oh sorry, yes my boyfriend was rejected onThursday and hes a postie so brought his fleece home with him.  It wouldn't fit through a letterbox.

Shakespeare Marathon it is! and i'll be warm while i train...

 Alas poor fleecie, i knew him well

Debating whether to go for a run and hunt down the postie or assume position under the letterbox!!! Just pulled the curtain back and there to greet me on the roof opposite..........a single magpie, not even superstitious!! Good luck to those still waiting and commiserations for the rejects, will be joining you shortly i'm sure!!!!!

Postie just been and still no news either way. Phoned the organisers and apparently it's being sent out in batches - odd though as I don't think there are many of us still waiting? Anyone else out there? They've said they can tell us over phone from the 8th.

[Deleted User]

Yup, still waiting ............

Postie comes around 1.00ish

I got my stuff last Friday, but my wife hasn't received anything yet. I hate the way they do this every year. The website now says the ballot results are out, but then doesn't have a link to check. Infuriating.

[Deleted User]

I haven't received anything yet either . . .

LadyBee

Has anybody who's got in had any money taken from their account yet?

[Deleted User]

Well, I'm on the rejection list (found out via mag landing on mat on Fri 3rd). It did fit through letterbox due to the lack of a bequeath . 2 attempts and 2 rejections. Ah well, try again next time (might get lucky in 2013) hehe.

 Good luck to all you accepted ones and condolances to the unsuccessfuls. I'd suggest entering a different marathon if you are really mindset on running the 26.2 miles...Edinburgh it is

[Deleted User]

I got my forth rejection. I have to say, I am really rather upset about it this time. Just can't afford to raise £1,000+ again  to get a charidee place.

 What is edinburgh like? Is it worth it/well supported etc etc.

[Deleted User]

Well, the wait is finally over for me and OH .... or is it?

Got our rejection mags this morning but still have a chance to get in with one of our club's places. maybe, hopefully, fingers crossed ... just got to wait until December now.

Oh the agony!

Still, at least I'm sat here in a nice shiny noo Saucony trail shoos

This is getting silly. Despite the fact that I got my 'good news' magazine last Friday, my wife still has not received anything. Obviously, with every day that passes it becomes more obvious that she hasn't got a place, but why do they need to do it like this? It must cost a fortune to send out so many rejection magazines, and they only need to email with a link to charity websites. I've had 4 rejection magazines and haven't read a page of any of them.

Raring to go

Jonny - haven't hearda anything either.  I agree - a waste of paper - why not e-mail?
