London Marathon.

At a recent committee meeting on 19th October we discussed the matter of allocating club entries for the Virgin London Marathon. The club has never had an official policy concerning this matter, although various methods have been used over the years, and last year all four places were allocated after a lottery of interested parties.

The committee has decided to allocate the places as follows:

For 2011, all members of the club are invited to apply for a place in the marathon, after which the committee will allocate one entry to a member who, in the opinion of the committee, has given outstanding service in a voluntary capacity. The remaining places will be allocated by lottery should there be more applicants than places.
In subsequent years, apart from the discretionary entry for which any member can apply, the remaining places will only be available to those members who have received an official rejection from the marathon organisers.
Any member who receives a club entry will not be eligible for consideration for the next two years.
If you wish to be considered for a club place please contact me by email, stevedux@btinternet.com , or write to:

The 2011 draw for places and allocation of the discretionary place has now taken part.
