Did anyone else get an audition for the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony?

Woooo other half just got her offer ....finally .... 99A BALL Paralympics. Delighted. We have been practising our dancing all evening avec prosecco :-)

Random question and I know it's me being a bi of a cheap skate but what are people doing about food at rehearsals ? My plan was to bring my own for lunch and dinner

No problems taking your own food in.

Not sure that's true at the Stadium. At last week's 41 rehearsal, they told us that there was no food allowed into the Stadium but there would be stuff to buy when in there. That was reiterated in a follow-up email.

Samantha - I'd go for bringing sandwiches to eat before you go through security and then try perhaps to see if they'd let you through with a sealed granola bar or something for later. I'm sure those there next weekend can tell us how strict they are.

Congrats Ropey's OH! So glad to hear that some offers have gone out again.

43 days to go

Woo Hoo! Just had my Sunday rehearsal cancelled. A weekend day off - what a treat!

However disaster struck on my way home......went to run for the tube when I had a POP in my left knee...OUCH!!!!
Just got back from hospital where I was diagnosed with a torn meniscus (interior) thats bad news am afraid!!!! Its the part of the knee where the meniscus (cartilage) has poor blood supply so will probably never heal 100% but can get a bit better with rest and ice. May need an operation to trim off the menisci.....so gutted
However will do exactly as the Doctor ordered and will do lots of rest and using a crutch will endeavour to make the 28th at the stadium

Well what a fab night we had!!!
Great finally finding out what we are going to be doing. Best news of all is we will be able to watch everything, down side is BOY will we be busy!!!!!

Great to see LauraN1, Samantha-Walker and Sky123 there last night. Had my costume(s) fitted....well the least said about that the better

However, I hasten to add that they should have given some warning about this when they issued the Cast Offer emails including prospective dates so as to enable many of us to plan our diaries / personal lives effectively.

Oh no bignic, rest up. I feel your pain. My physio has said i have done the same, luckily (unluckily depending on how you look at it) I have only a small tear so hopefully i will be alright with just the RICE principle. Though i finally have an appointment with a specialist next week and will hopefully know what is going on then

Yes, OK for you but the Saturday is moved to the morning which is not great for another person in your group who we normally give a lift to as we are still on afternoon and evening. All these changes are not helping us when we are already making sacrifices.

I have been having private physio on my ex-company policy for some time but my physio limit has nearly been reached but I am going to continue paying until the BIG DAY - it is about £40 a 1/2 hour session - cheaper than my local hospital which charged £55 -but I think will be worth it.

yes yes yes, do it if you can.
The one i went to said that i needed to find out how mad it was first and because I am quite young and very active, physio would hopefully be the best route, and the ultimate thing of rest (which i hate doing, oops)

unfortunately my injury is partly due to my sporty past but also my age!!! apparently its very common in a person of a certain age compounded by the sporty past ( Long-jumped and played hockey for Wales 30+/- years ago!! )...hey ho would not have changed a thing though, its just the age thing that depresses me.....I still think I am 27!!!!

I dont mean to be funny, but all your posts are negative. This person was happy they actually got a day of and then you come along and put a dampner on it. When we signed up, we ALL knew that there could be changes and that it was a huge commitment. You knew what commitment was involved yet you still moan about it. In fact you were moaning about spending £20 each time you go and threatening to pack it all in. If you are really so unhappy with it and are considering leaving, then do it instead of whinging about it all the time. There are still a lot of people that would have given thier right arm ro be part of it.
