Can't believe I received my letter today, I thought that it was cutting it too closely. Now just have to wait to see if I will be part of the April ceremony (will send my cheque on Friday)

BTW for those going to the next ceremony, what sort of time does it state that it starts? (Have to travel down from Galway, so am wondering if I need an overnight stay since it's not that easy to get to for me)
