What happens if...
- you are refused 5 times in a row thus becoming eligible for an automatic place the following year
- but accept a club place or take a golden bond place in the 5th year...
If the powers of FLM see your name come up - albeit not via their ballot - does your participation rule out your 5 refusals meaning they won't give you the automatic place subsequently - even though you've still been refused 5 times through the ballot?

Frustrated midfield club runner who would like to experience FLM just once to complement other marathon experiences!!

b) if you just want to do London once what does it matter if taking a club place prevents you getting a refusal place?
So for goodness sake get on with it and just enter {O:
And good luck!
The club receives an entry form from FLM, and this is given to the lucky runner, to send off, with your entry fee (oh, yeah, you have to pay, even if you have bequeathed your ballot entry fee).
Normally the runner would fill in the form, I should think.
The club may choose to fill in the form for the funner, I suppose (I think you have to sign it, from memory), and of course, your club may also choose to pay the entry for you.
Whether FLM compare the details I have no idea.
As you have already been rejected this should not affect your automatic entry... <I think>
Definitely no problem.
Mark - We too do the club draw but I've failed to be picked out of that 4 times already too!
I sometimes get the feeling that somebody somewhere is trying to send me a message!
Higs - the only worry is that I've been out for a year following surgery and I'd hate to take a club place, get injured, not be able to run and then still lose the guaranteed place...
That's the kinda luck I have with FLM
during my five year wait I ran once on a club
place and it made no differnce - 5 rejections
inthe ballot is all that counts :-))
