Re: STANDBY LIST closes in under 12 hours

I reckon the next 10 on standby should be let on immediately.

(I was told to say that)

That will allow for the 10 who are going to drop out at the last minute but not own up, because the penalty is beheading.

And I am already in

so I have No AXE to grind Get it!

By the way, who keeps putting all those ******* stars in my comments?

Yerbut, isn't the list already pre-loaded/top-loaded/whatever to deal with the last-minute drop-outs? Obviously, I have read The Rules many times in great detail and I seem to recall that there will be extra people on the final list on 1st April because there are always a few withdrawals before 10th May.

Anyway, if you're stil dithering SEND DD YOUR EMAIL NOW!

(I'm not, and I won't!)

Re: STANDBY LIST closes in under 12 hours

Darn right it's pre-loaded. The list current stands at 320 and there are only 300 places.

There should be some natural attrition before May 10… but if not?

I knew that Judith, cos I read the notes too.
In fact I have memorized them in case I get tested at the Park (lies)

But these other big boys twisted my arm and made me write it.
Honest!

I can't mention names because they would get me......

Re: STANDBY LIST closes in under 12 hours

Well, I guess it's no cigar for me.

Have a good one everyone, I'm off to hide until next year.

Re: STANDBY LIST closes in under 12 hours

Sorry to hear that.
Even Spanghero best efforts to poison half Britain were not enough.
What was your number ?

Hope to see you at TGO 2014 :p

Re: STANDBY LIST closes in under 12 hours

Started at 68, got down to 7.

Re: STANDBY LIST closes in under 12 hours

That's a bit of a bugger.
7 is SOOooooo Close Robin.

Re: STANDBY LIST closes in under 12 hours

Aye, the list closed with no additional places available.

Commiserations to those who waited, and thanks for their patience – they will, all things remaining equal*, avoid the need to go through the draw next year though.

Soon as I'm home I'll send an email confirming no place this year.






* Deliberately woolly term which, of necessity, allows the co-ordinator to exercise some discretion in the manner by which this concession is applied
