I'm the same as Steve, order went in care of Termie and I had an acknowledgement of the order on the 23rd July. It states that booking will be allocated on a first come first served basis at the end of the year when they will send out an allocation letter.
No sign of that here yet. Doesn't really surprise me much as the good old surrender monkeys seem unable to maintain a consistent system for ticketing from one year to the next. Everything normal then !!

PS. Bob, I also tried emailing and faxing a seperate order prior to the accepted date of 3rd June, but each time i did I received a reply from them by post stating that they will not accept early orders. That was in April when I usually send in my request. They just stated that they won't record any booking before that date and asked me to send it in again at that time.
