Hayley gets her call-up
While everyone else can relax until September (well, late August probably!) Hayley G will be hitting the turf as soon as mid July as she has been called up for the first "High Performance Academy", which will be held in Oxford on 15th July.
As you can perhaps expect by now this is quite a complex process (see summary) but basically it puts Hayley on the path to potentially joining Sasha at the "TDGs".
The "Academy" in Oxford is essentially a trial that will start with 100 girls from across the country and narrow that down to 20, who will then go to a second event two weeks later where they will be joined by Sasha and her current TDG chums. And from that 50 or so will be selected the 30-strong TDG for 2007/8.
Obviously this requires Hayley to be suitably motivated, so if her friends can think of ways of making her annoyed about something (it probably doesn't matter what) on or around the 14th of July this should increase her chances a bit.
