Well done! There was such a good set of proposals this year that a small
amount of luck was required to get a place on top of a great proposal.
Hopefully we get a few more slots to play with next year. I really hope the
lack of a slot doesn't discourage anyone from going any further with their
proposals.
Hardy, you have a few interested mentors this year actually! I'll send you
an email privately to introduce us and we can get ourselves ready for the
summer.
Cheers,
Darren
