jennyh Nov 2017 5:58pm, 24 Nov 2017 2,384 posts	0 jennyh I’ve just had an email from our club secretary advising that even though we have 382 members, and the London Marathon website says clubs with over 351 members get 4 places, we appear to have only been allocated 3 places. She has emailed the organisers to check, but as the fourth name out of the hat, it looks like I’m not doing London after all
LazyDaisy Nov 2017 6:30pm, 24 Nov 2017 20,529 posts	0 LazyDaisy Are they all 1st claim and over 18 Jenny? I'm also a bit concerned that having applied for the four places our membership (430, all 1st claim, all 18+, all EA affiliated) gives us, I have not yet received confirmation that we will get them. In previous years the response has been almost immediate. It says it could be as late as 12 December before I hear - why the delay??
