Hi Phillip, I'm doing exactly what Anthony is doing. Our club has an allocation and I will also be putting my name in the hat this time around for 2012.

Hi Philip

The online ballot for 2012 entry opens on 26 April - it normally fills up within a couple of days and the chances of getting a place are small.  My brother and I have been unsuccessful last two years so got a charity Gold Bond place - but you need to raise a lot of money, it takes almost as much effort as the training!

You should be able to enter the ballot through the main website on 26 April:
