Who have we got?

Echo54

Me .....no sign of welcome pack yet

Clanman889

Me. Expect welcome pack any day now

swl33t

I wonder if the list in the GV thread is still accurate?

Clanman889

Dunno. Cannot believe our luck though. Long time coming.

Pottergirl and Porky expected to weigh in any minute now lol.

Legally clueless

Lynxbro

swl33t

Is this sarcasm? my postman didn't ha

Legally clueless

Have no packs been delivered yet? Half debating going home at lunch to check

Echo54

Haven't received anything either....do you reckon they are going to finish off the calls today and then send all the packs out at the same time?

He actually hasn't lol tesco vouchers only.

Lynxbro

Ah right haha, I'd say we get our packs next week so, probs sent out today I'd imagine

Pottergirl16

Also got tesco vouchers but no welcome pack!

swl33t

£4 towards some socks anyway lol

Pottergirl16

Among the many other things we need! Cant actually believe we will know our future district in 2 weeks. Never thought i would make it this far when applying all them months ago!

swl33t

Where are you all hoping to go?

Pottergirl16

Belfast or Lisburn would be my first choices

Lynxbro

same, although i have not decided yet, do we have to wear full suits at induction or would suit pants, a shirt and tie do? i own a suit buts it a little OTT to be wearing to the induction, think mcgregor style :cool: ...

swl33t

Better to wear a suit and not need it, than need a suit and not wear it lol

majgreen

Full suit for induction. Making first impresssions counts. Congratulations folks, now the hard work begins

swl33t

Pack arrived today

Lynxbro

Thanks maj, aww jellybean, no post where I am on Saturdays ...

Pottergirl16

Whats best for the girls to wear? Going shopping and no idea what to get.. also do we need to wear heels?

Echo54

Pack just arrived be too, all becoming real now

Pottergirl16

Yes and quite confusing lol. I thought we could bring someone to induction but it doesnt mention this? Can anyone shed some light? Also can we pick less than 4 districts? For the family addresses my sister has moved since i done vetting.. will this matter that im putting a different address?

Lynxbro

Hey yea there's no visitors to induction, I asked when I recieved my call from recruitment, she said they doing things differently for this intake...

swl33t

Do we send back our district choice? It doesn't say anywhere?

Pottergirl16

It says on the letter has to be returned with confirmation form.

That's really weird to drop that. Would be good to find out the reasoning as I always thought it was nice touch bringing your nearest and dearest.

Yea I thought so to but they said there may be a day allocated during the course to family visiting? So I dunno lol

swl33t

Notice letter typed up!

Clanman889

Lots to read in the pack but I suppose much of it is simply expansion and clarification on points you'd already have known and considered fairly standard going in. All very real now. I cannot wait. Maybe it's just me but does anyone else feel they really need to get a lot of general personal stuff in order now in advance of when the all consuming training process begins. Like a deep breath before the plunge. I expect it to be almost completely demanding of our time for the next 5 months

A conditional offer? Is this in case someone pulls out?
I wonder how many conditional offers were made on top of people who got the actual call?

Me!

Hey guys,

Can someone pm me recruitments number

shanevendrell

Obviously we don't know the circumstances but it's mind boggling to me that people would go through everything in the last 18 months and then drop out.

Congrats to all those starting in March.

I think 101 and ask for recruitment is the easiest way.

Ghostbuster123

Hi Guys, long time lurker, first time poster. Finally got the call last week ..just a quick one has anyone had any issues trying to access the online learning, was told on the phone that more will be available before we enter GV.

Pottergirl16

I'm assuming that we will get details after the induction.

Ghostbuster123

Thanks, I've sent them an email just awaiting a response back
