The Annual ACO Ticket Lottery.

Afternoon all.

I run a blog as an informal kind of shop window (I'm a freelance scribbler) and I was thinking of a blog post regarding the annual ticket lottery run by the ACO. We've been putting up with it for years now. You order a dozen camping permits on the same site, probably your favourite site that you use every year, and hope to get them as a block. What you'll probably get is either the wrong number of permits, all the permits on the same site but scattered all over it, permits for the wrong campsite entirely or, worst of all, you'll get the right number of permits and they'll be spread across different sites so you don't even end up on the same campsite never mind with a single block of pitches.

I'm not sure if this'll go down well with the ACO, but if anybody's prepared to share their horror stories with me then feel free to send me a PM or put them on the thread. If you fancy being either completely anonymous or using an alias other than your username that's no problem and I'd be quite happy not to mention CA at all if that would be a problem.

Hope this doesn't ruffle any feathers at CA HQ, but I think it's something worth addressing. All the best.
