Re: whos looking forward to collecting their uniform at UDAC?? :DWonder how many people will turn up, collect the uniform and then not bother actually going to the Games...?
And as much as I've got my offer, I've had no further communication about what test events I'm doing or when to get my stuff. -

Re: whos looking forward to collecting their uniform at UDAC?? :DOddly enough, I know...(Original post by Divingbrit)
Drewski, many are still awaiting news , and not all will be invited to a test event,
My point was, though, that there's naff all communication either way. If your way of finding out you're not going to a test event is simply to never be told, that's pretty appalling.
And I too am still waiting for news re the Olympics. The offer I've received is for the Paralympics. -

On that logic , you should be told if your lottery ticket is not a winner? Were we promised a test event, no, we offered to do one if it was available, if you ticked the right box on your application form. -

Re: whos looking forward to collecting their uniform at UDAC?? :DNo, because you enter that competition knowing the odds and the way the game is played.(Original post by Divingbrit)

When you volunteer for a job, to help out an organisation that will be utterly reliant on the calibre and willingness of it's volunteers, you expect a bit of communication about what's going on. -

Re: whos looking forward to collecting their uniform at UDAC?? :DI still haven't been given a date for uniform collection, but I don't know if I'll even need one as I'm a medal bearer so they may just give me the costume instead? I wish they'd tell me, I'm so excited either way!

Re: whos looking forward to collecting their uniform at UDAC?? :DI heard that those of us in victory ceremonies don't get the standard uniform but instead what we wear for those, which I assume is a dress of some kind for the girls, no idea what it would be for the guys.(Original post by jonathanrpham)

Re: whos looking forward to collecting their uniform at UDAC?? :DIt was a dress for the ladies in Vancouver, and same for Beijing! London 2012 will be the first modern Olympics where men are Medal/Flower Bearers...I'm hoping for a sexy tux, but I'm aware that may be asking for too much :P(Original post by RibenaRockstar)
