Didn't get accepted for the Prudential Ride London 2015

[buttonnine]

Just got a relativity large package in the post, so opened with haste to find a jersey with a magazine giving me commiserations that I hadn't been successful in gaining a place in said ride, with a deep sigh and a heavy heart I unravelled the jersey to find a lovely and well made garment that I will wear with pride knowing that I gave it my best shot, so boo hoo and now I cant wait to wear it on my next winter ride, here's to my twenty sixteen application!.

Never mind, you went for it, not this year, maybe next. At least you got the jersey

 

[vickster]

You could always apply for a charity place. You'll get another new Jersey too

I didn't get in last year, they sent me a quite nice rain jacket. Might have another go for 2016.

I got accepted. Marshal outside the V&A. Nice and dry, just like last year.

Did you pay anything for said Jersey?

 

[LimeBurn]

I didn't get in.....again! And no jersey for me.

If you donate your entry fee to charity, you get a jersey/jacket/whatever sent to you if you don't get in. Otherwise your fee would be refunded, but no gift.

 

[jefmcg]

Otherwise your fee would be refunded,

Well, technically not. If you weren't donating, you didn't have to pay to enter the ballot, so no refund required.

*searches memory...

Ah, yes you are right

That's a cool idea in fairness

Yes. in a way you wave your entry fee and get a nice new jersey. lovely!

I didn't get in and I donated my entry fee and was very happy with my jersey! I've worn it already its now one of my favourites! Lovely and comfy!

I got mine, XL and I normally take XXL, and it's a bit too big. Not sure if I'll even bother entering next year. 4 times shame on me :S
