University of Stirling???

Apparently they are responsible for the whole overall scheme.

Has anyone contacted BOF so this can be added to the list of news items?

[mharky]

BOF made the selections.

[andypat]

Its possible BOF werent aware that the list had been published. SOA and BOF were aware of the list previously but it was "not for publication" until the students had been informed. Just to be clear that its SEDS themselves that have tweeted the outcome and its not been published directly on the SOA website so I'm not sure we were aware it was public either.

[mharky]

The only place it has been announced is on the WS website. I've not personally been informed of my selection by WS, EU or BOF.

[Mrs H]

So, how much you gonna get?

[andypat]

I dont have any insider information, but if I was in charge of their comms, I think its those who werent selected I'd want to inform before it went public. Well done on your positive result mharky! Seriously though get some new SEDS photos done ASAP

Cos those WS ones look well dodgy!

[mharky]

Don't really know what you mean by dodgy. The WS photos are done by WS, we don't have the option of anything else. The people without the proper profile picks are either new this season, or didn't turn up to the photo shoot last season. If you look at the other sports they are all the same, just action shots for people who didn't turn up.

[andypat]

Like poorly done school pics - sorry - trying to say I don't think they are at all flattering - nothing personal - I know you are sensitive about your good looks
