What's the deal with the Merit List [10 units in the top band]...I know there's a ceremony type thing in February [when I will already be in England] but how do we get notified of that????

Yeah, it took me a good 10-15 minutes to get onto SAM [and this was at about 6:15 this morning]....but I was very, very happy with what it turned out for me :) 99.7 :) :) :)
