Any idea of dates for the meeting in Reading?

[ZeroHour]

We had some rough dates but I will get in touch again and see if we can lock down some exact ones.

When is best for you guys as well?

[Ephelyon]

Potentially an odd question, but...

 

... do you want us to apply as one would for a job? As in, lay out why we think we are one of the right 10 people to be helping out? In which case - as one might see with a job advert - what criteria are we matching to?

 

Or are you just looking for names and willingness?

I literally just editted the article this minute to help clarify, right now just email over your name, school you work at, role and if there are any particularly bad times for calls or attending Reading this month.

Do we need to make our own way there or would MS pay for our expenses?

[Ephelyon]

@ZeroHour, just read the e-mail you've sent. Am I right in thinking there will be two days held, or will MS just pick the day favoured by most?

 

I ask as it would be tricky to put in an absence request for "this day or maybe that day"...

Which day is prefered by most. Only 1 day will be held.

When are we likely to know?

Tomorrow hopefully

We are trying to get the date confirmed but I have been stuck in Carlisle due to a train breakdown which has massively delayed me. Edited April 25, 2016 by elsiegee40

Hi, any news on confirmation date?

If we have not been contacted by email after applying, does this mean you’re not one of the lucky ones to be selected?

[ZeroHour]

10th of May is the date, we will be sending a mail out later today but I was stung by a PC failure at the weekend and I had to travel to Preston on Monday/Tuesday which threw a spanner in the works.

[Ephelyon]

Haven't received an e-mail - assuming I'm not selected? We've had overblocking issues upstream with County lately so thought I'd better check.

[drewp]

Not received an e-mail either, perhaps we are not the among the chosen ones?

@ZeroHour is it possible to provide an update?

[mattstevenson2005]

Have the emails gone out yet?

[Zoom7000]

Are there any places left for this? I tried sending an email, but got a bounce back.
