    So you're saying after people received both a call and an e-mail informing them it would be the new year, that this is now the case?

    Oh I sincerely hope you're right Woodzie, I've not heard different yet. We need more Garda Reserves out there & people who are informed about what Garda Reserves can do whilst in-training and attested ;)

    Yup, just called me 10 mins ago! Can't believe it! :D. I was the first call, so word will start to spead :). They just said. we have decided to go ahead and sorry about the short notice :P.

    Talk about a rollarcoster of emotions though. It really ain't fair to play with people's emotions and plans like this but if it couldn't be helped then so be it.

    Good new though I must say, thanks! :)

    With this late notice, double-check everything. Have some form of ID with you... the form you were asked complete, bring it with you complete and ready to submit...

    Sur, Have a look through this thread. It has some good advice & tips on what's ahead of you all if it is indeed now going ahead :)

    Theres a few chippers in the town, all on the main street, I think Ninos (think thats what it's called) is the cloest to the college so if your stuck you can hit one of them.
