    Done.

    It says that you have to write 'Copy' across your documents. What's that all about?

    It's a bit weird that they say that for the address document, but not for the one that you upload for proving your date of birth. I was able to make use of a full version of Acrobat and added a watermark across the top of the image, don't want to miss out due to some strange lack of writing "copy" on a scan of a document.

    I'd say a few people may be using acrobat applications for that and other purposes ;)

    Just to clarify (so I don't have to read the instructions) all that one simply has to do is scribble "copy" across ones proof of uk residence, submit this along with copy of passport and q time?

    You're as lazy at reading instructions as you are at training.
    Read the bloody instructions yourself.

    GFA entry now paid for.

    Keep an eye on your inboxes folks, the confirmation emails are being sent out now. Also not that when entering your date of birth the month and day are the wrong way round.

    How do you prove UK residence? I'm sure their are folks in the UK that don't have utility bills in their name... Are there other means than a utility bill?

    Driving license, bank account etc. Any 'offical letter' is fine (I used my car insurance renewal letter last year).

    I only entered Tuesday so it'll probably be a while yet. Took me a bit of time to get my 'utility bill' scanned properly :)

    Starting to get nervous, anyone here who applied on the 17th or later get notified yet?

    In and paid for :)
    Wanted it sorted this week as I won't be online much over the next two weeks, rang them up today and they processed it there and then on the phone. Very helpful.

    My GFA entry went in this week.

    I've wanted to do this for years. Missed out with my 3.09 last year when they lowered the cut-off for my age category to 3.05.

    Have the qualification time now, now waiting for that confirmation email.

    Whoops, thought I had longer to get my entry in for this. For proof of UK residency, will anything be posted to that address? Don't know if I'll 'still' have access to it

    Yes your final registration form (that you have to take to the expo to get your number) will be posted there.
    You will also get posted your acceptance Magazine in October, but that is not important.

    Damn, thought it would be emailed out. Time to get the contacts book out. Should have been on this earlier :o
