That just appears to be for groups, let them know the size and approximate time of arrival of the group. I think this is to organise tours of the college.

Was talkin to Inspector down in the college, open day is 2nd April Ye should go

Cheers for that - probably going to be 3 years before I'm in a position to apply but might be well worth taking a look in the meantime

Do you need to arrange visiting the college on the Open Day beforehand, and if so who do you contact?

keith101 · 15-03-2009 12:19AM

Your only obliged to contact college if a large group is attending, other wise just turn up between 10am and 2pm there are regular tours..

DavidH82 · 15-03-2009 12:23AM

There'll be a huge crowd there this year I'm sure. Is everyone here going to make it down?

No I for one won't be down in April. I've seen the college, met the lecturers, and even almost bought a t-shirt (thank you John for persuading me otherwise

)

It is well worth a look-in though if you haven't already been.

DavidH82 · 15-03-2009 01:39AM

Never been so definitely going if I can organise the time off work.

I remember the first time I walked out the gates, I remember saying to himself "I will be back - next time you'll be visiting me there"

. You know, everyone you will meet will be so helpful and will answer any and every question you can think of (except probably the one on the next recruitment drive). Honestly, I can't recommend visiting on the open-day enough as most people there will be wanting to know the same as you.

I'm really looking forward to it but that's definitely one question I will be asking. Would be nice to have some kind of idea.

The people there on the day of the open-day will have as much info as you and I have right now. It's the people that won't and don't be visible on days like that, that determine situations like a recruitment drive...Their is money set aside for one drive this year but is subject as normal to that money not being required elsewhere in the mean-time

That's true but at least an open day is a good sign. I suppose it's case of when rather if so it's no harm waiting. Positivity FTW.

Positivity, Patience and Optimism is what will see us all though the waiting game for definite.

Hey! ask someone there when last a tribesman rightfully held SAM and you'll probably hear the same response as when you ask about the next recruitment drive

:P and please do let me know what they say to you.

I'll ask them when a tribesman will next rightfully hold sam and when the next recruitment drive will be and I'll get the same response: SOON.

Tis quite alright jypo and we should enjoy it while it lasts! This thread could and will heat up fairly lively once a

competition is announced.

Nah, I'll give the auld pub a miss tonight but with tomorrow hopefully being as glorious as it was today, I'll more than likely be in a beer-garden after my annual ooohh's and aahhh's and Oh look at that! as the parade passes by.
