Dallam Running Club Club place(s) for London Marathon 2016 and beyond Following the decisions made at the club AGM on 28th January 2015 the criteria for allocating any club places which we receive from Virgin Money London Marathon through our England Athletics affiliation are set out below. 1. Anyone who wants to be considered for our marathon place(s) must have been a fully paid up member of Dallam Running Club for a minimum of 2 years leading up to the club draw which takes place in October. 2. They must also have paid for an England Athletics competition licence via the club for the same 2 year period. Only members who have paid the licence fee can enter the club draw. 3. Those who have applied for a place in that year’s Public Ballot and receive a rejection slip will have first call on the club place(s) and will be eligible to take part in the initial club draw. They must forward their rejection slip to the club secretary in order to have their name put into the draw which will take place after one of the Wednesday evening runs in October. 4. If there are still places left over after this initial stage then there will be a second draw open to any other fully paid up Dallam members with a competition licence for 2 years leading up to the time of the draw ie where they fulfil criteria 1 and 2 but have no rejection slip. 5. At both stages of the draw those who have not been successful before will be given preference over members who have already taken the club place on a previous occasion.
