    I thought they left a voicemail too. It wouldn't be realistic to imagine everyone can take a call at that exact moment. Plus lots of people don't answer withheld numbers.

    Guys I can confirm in no uncertain terms they will leave a voicemail asking you to call back but I don't think theybwould send the pack unless you can conform you're attending- what mobile network are you on though? My network let's me use all my UK allowances for a small daily fee! You should check!

    Unfortunately I won't be able to have my mobile on me! Just the nature of this trip.

    Hmm would you be able to check it in the evenings? Is there an alternate number they could use? Maybe you could phone recruitment and make them aware of the circumstances before you go? Or you could see if anyone receives a call on here and call recruitment on the day?

    I know it's not ideal! I'll give them a ring and see what they say.

    Football shirts are obviously a no go but would we be okay wearing tops with band logos etc on them in the evenings?

    I would say common sense here, depends on the band really. I heard the 'Wolfe Tones' were playing in Belfast at the weekend haha.... not sure how a top with their logo would go down too well.

    I think common sense is probably what I'll go with- to be honest I should probably get some new clothes anyway- need to stop dressing like beavis and butthead

    I've heard things. Not sure how true it is but its in all seriousness, intense for want of a better word. Obviously you'll have introductions, tours if you hadn't had one, dorm allocation, uniform allocation apparently they teach you to iron shirts and bull boots properly, if you read the thread about starting GV there's a fair bit in that I think. I've also heard a nasty rumour that you right do your PCA or the 3mile run on the Monday, I know they used to do that but that was back in 2005 lol.
