AM I THE MAISON BLANCHE CHOSEN ONE?

[Piglet]

That suck piglet, maybe you can get some BN from ferrari spyder?

I've got MB from Powermite so subject to it being a bit of a squish (have camper van coming this year) we'll be fine thank God!   

[Barry]

Piglet, was your application part of the batch handed in by Deb?

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Your in the "chosen ones' campsite as well.

Piglet, was your application part of the batch handed in by Deb?

Yup - I wonder if they have been very "anti groups", I asked for 10 passes so maybe that goes over their line in the sand (or mud perhaps) that leads to BSJ 

[nickliv]

Mine was one of Debs too.

MB, then houx, then HA, then KN I believe.

BSJ tickets anyone? I see speedchills have one on ebay for more than I spent on drink at Christmas.

I'll keep the grandstand tickets though. I think...

Thank you Termie for trying. You did your best.

We will just have to wait for the postman for the next couple of days I guess.

The suspense is killing me

It will be intresting to see where we are allocated, we only asked for 2 passes, so if there is a line in the sand a suspect we might squeak in, but my guess is that the after the agencies and the 'Chosen Ones' had been accomodated there is very little/none left

[smokie]

Not sure about any lines in sand or even mud. I have options on 10 Bleu tickets. And that wasn't the form which went in with Termies. That was just an unsolicited repeat order. Good old ACO...

[John Boy]

Starting to get worried now.  Just had the following response from the ACO when I emailed to see if there was any news on my order:

"We will record your order in the coming days. You will receive your letter of reservation at the latest within 2 weeks."

Faxed my order on the 6th June, surely that wasn't too late.

Who knows....there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the allocations this year.    What did you ask for? 

[Paddy_NL]

I got an answer via email from the ACO 3rd of January (where I was told we'd be on Bleu Nord). Still no envelope here with an invoice in it. Even though we will have tickets for MB via another channel, I think it's rather strange we still haven't received an invoice. I hope not to dissapoint Chris24 and Lisa

[rcutler]

I am waiting patiently as I only asked for 6 tickets. I now that is still possibly considered as a group but who know's it is the ACO.

Absolutly Crap Organisers!

[Piglet]

The timing is a bit weird, I normally get my allocation after you guys, I'm normally one of the last so I'm surprised I've got mine already.

Separate point - I have some Lagache Tribune 19 tickets on my allocation - probably 4 or 5 spare.   I'll post them on sale/swap in a while.  I'll only accept them if someone wants them (and pays  )

[Lord Pig-Pen]

well at last the blessed ACO letter arrived this morning, and yes 4 pristine BN allocations in lieu of the MB zone D tickets I had asked for.

If there is a CA'er out there desperate for BN let me know and they could be yours.

Russ is away at the mo so we still  dont know where we are yet....Our application was one of the ones handed in by termie so .... Fingers crossed!!

I am sure that we will have a right royal tear up where ever we end up... but BSJ is a bit of a march from the track when its scorching hot and one is bladdered

[BigH]

Oh dear, it all seems to be going a bit pear shaped this year, and am seriously considering giving the whole damn thing a miss. Pretty well all of our group have now cried off, and I'm left with a whole load of ticket allocations, what's a man to do?
It'll be a shame to break the run of 21 consecutive years, but the ACO seem to be gradually stripping away all the bits worth going for, and I have to admit arguing in the dark with a Frenchman over whose numbered camping pitch is whose doesn't hold a lot of attraction.
Hmmm, bollocks!

H, my dear chap, the answer accords with the Nike principle - Just do it.  You know that you'll enjoy going.  And if your traditional bunch of chums are not going, you know plenty of people out there.   Don't break the consecutive run - anyway, you owe it to the Jag to get her down there this year after leaving her sadly languishing in the garage in favour of your fund-raising velocipede venture last year!
