Places are limited in each group, we do that to ensure that everyone gets the best experience. If we are oversubscribed, participants are selected by application, and unsuccessful applicants are placed on a waiting list. When a place becomes available we will email all of the people on the waiting list and offer places on a first come first served basis.
Selection is based on a successful application. The application has two simple questions.
