Not had mine either. Was wondering the same thing. They did say you could call up to June 8th but that's only next Sunday. Looks like a lot of us waiting for the email so I wouldn't be surprised if we get it tomorrow.
Afternoon all, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere.....I deferred my entry from 2014 to 2015, but I gained a GFA off the back of my 2013 VLM. Am I better to take up the deferred place or apply as a GFA????

Any help appreciated.
Can't see that it makes a difference does it? Either is effectively a guaranteed place.
Speedy Fen Bird - you are better off getting a GFA place for 2015. That way, if you get injured you can defer to 2016. If you take up the deferred place you can't defer it again. I'm in a similar position - I deferred my 2014 place but will apply instead for a GFA place for 2015 so that I can defer it if I get injured again. Not got an email yet re deferred place though.
Why can't they give us a date for GFA entry. Just says refer back in June. It is June. Paranoid about missing out like last year. There was only a 2 week window to apply & all online so screwed if you can't scan stuff!!
I am hoping to get in by gfa place too from my Barcelona time last year . I missed out last year with entering as was a day late , maybe a good job as I had to have a hysterectomy this Feb.
i have been looking at accommodation and the travel lodges just been released for the dates and not cheap at all , even the hotels . I rang to see about booking the day they were released and was told as a sporiting event on prices were set accordingly ..
OH SH*T, have just seen thread as have had major family trouble this week and not had time to breathe let alone read, have just checked and no e-mail and assume LM office closed today, is it definately the last chance today?????
Hi Crazy Lady.If you have a qualifying time in the last 2 years or run one before the applications close you can apply once the GFA goes live. Still says refer back in June!! When it does open have about 2 weeks to prove time & age online. Keep checking webpage. Good luck.
Thank you Fairy Clogs I think I got a bit mixed up with people saying they had got emails but when read properly it was the referral emails. I ran Barcelona last year and I do qualify . I will keep my eyes open .
Got confirmation of a guaranteed charity place today so want to book a hotel, what do people recommend? Want 3 nights but don't want to pay a fortune. Want somewhere decent though. I looked at thistle trafalgar square but coming up at over ??800 and not willing to pay that much. Thanks
We booked a travel lodge the day they came on sale , tower bridge 4 nights ??300 . It is an expensive time .. I agree also try booking.com or even travel lodges , I think docklands was cheaper .

Havent got mine yet - they said if you haven't got it by tomorrow (2/6) to call them so that's what I will be doing

Will keep checking tomorrow.

Use defferal this year and GFA next.
But check I'm right first.

Just checked my email and the deferred email is there now!
Got my mail - bit cheesed off they want paying by 20th June. Could have at least given us until pay day end of month but hey ho

Got my email and secured my place. See you there. Unless I injure myself again.....
So is it too late for me to get a gfa place now ?
