Oh yeah, I did figure you into my earlier calculations. Also, now know of another "B" who's in.

Can anybody answer a question for me?
There seems to be plenty of people that got letters to say yes,
But has any body got a letter to say No rather than no letter in the post??
Im still waiting.

See my second post above!

We pre-empted that problem by stating on the forms that our availability was subject to both of us being selected. . . thereby reducing our chances from zero to even less!

Brian Mac · 9 Jul 2009, 14:51 (Ref:2498393)

Thanks Stephen,
it must have been excitement made me post my last twice,
maybe tomorrow

Hopefully see you i@ Goodwood anyway.

**Stephen Green** · 9 Jul 2009, 14:55 (Ref:2498399)

Certainly will

Alan Green · 9 Jul 2009, 15:06 (Ref:2498402)

Topping off a thoroughly excellent day, I'm in for flagging

I know there are at least one 'S' and one 'W' name with letters as well. The acceptance doesn't have to be back until the end of the month, so no desperate panic yet.

Anyway, happy as a pig in whatsit, thank you BARC, thank you, thank you, thank you...........

Edit: And remember, the BBC 5Live F1 team will hopefully be spending some time with us for a piece for their coverage (for the rest of the season they're doing pieces about the behind the scenes of F1, think it's the medical car team this week). Will ask if we can get the TV team involved as well

It's not panic, it's more a case of wanting to know one way or the other...not least because, if I'm not in, I'll need to cancel the time off work, and make other plans to do with that time. Not in itself a big deal...but hell, this is essentially a free (busman's) holiday give away, and we all just want to know.

Keith Kehoe · 9 Jul 2009, 15:14 (Ref:2498413)

I'm in Hurrah. (Flaggie)

Flag Wave · 9 Jul 2009, 15:31 (Ref:2498431)

Well if I am not mistaken I am going too!!!!
Not bad for my first bit of overseas marshalling (if you don't include Pembrey)

I will have to practice runnig on the spot in my probans in a sauna with an I Spy book of camels

This will be my 1st trip abroad on a plane, can't think of a better reason to get on a plane.

as far as the lower letter theory goes, i've seen surnames with the letter "P" & "V" & "W" who have been accepted, so i guess that theory goes out the window

BROOMPUSHER,
what Airport you going from

Ianwales · 9 Jul 2009, 16:19 (Ref:2498463)

Hi all

I'm going, as flaggie,

not to disappoint anyone waiting, but, didn't the original letter say that letters would be sent to those selected only? seemed to suggest there wouldn't be rejection letters sent out.

Ian

graham-ne · 9 Jul 2009, 16:24 (Ref:2498464)

no letter for me

had better unpack my bags grrrrrrrrrr

Col_Rugby · 9 Jul 2009, 16:25 (Ref:2498465)

I was thinking that myself Ian, but I wasn't 100% sure so I thought better to keep my mouth shut.......1st time for everything I know.

"Once the forms have been compiled a letter of acceptance and some additional information will be issued to those selected to attend"

It doesn't say what will happen to those not selected to attend. You could interpret it either way, but it's not conclusive.

The STIG · 9 Jul 2009, 16:30 (Ref:2498471)

Argh! the waiting is killing me... I'm in lampeter for this week and next week, so I don't know if I'm in or not yet, and won't do for some time... I could always e-mail BARC I guess... watch this space!

bastinscully · 9 Jul 2009, 16:33 (Ref:2498473)

I am going too! and I can't wait

TwoSheds · 9 Jul 2009, 16:48 (Ref:2498480)

I'm in, a "J" surname, flagging.

Sticker Rub · 9 Jul 2009, 16:50 (Ref:2498481)

I'm going (Track)

Hepatic · 9 Jul 2009, 16:56 (Ref:2498485)

just junk mail here, won't get worried until Mr Kelly gets a letter

Brother Grim · 9 Jul 2009, 17:24 (Ref:2498501)

nothing for me & other brother grim yet

bucks76 · 9 Jul 2009, 17:32 (Ref:2498504)

Nothing but junk for me either (including a badly targetted flyer for touring cars at Snetterton - after driving there last year from Rochdale I've realised it's a little too far). I'm hoping the postie had too much to carry today.

cornish · 9 Jul 2009, 17:46 (Ref:2498515)

I'm in Flagging
(surname T )
See you there Tim

White flag man · 9 Jul 2009, 17:47 (Ref:2498516)

I'm in! I don't believe it, thank you very much BARC. If I didn't have to drive to Cadwell tomorrow, I would go out and get completely slaughtered! In a professional way ofcourse.
