I wonder if the general public will know once the decision has been made, or if we'll have to wait to see who comes out through the door at some official signing ceremony!

I've seen 23rd now quoted as the date for this announcement (a good day to release bad news??) and also a contact has mentioned that he's been told "19th" - but I wonder if that might be "during the week of 19th".

Award made EARLY - and doesn't look like good news for Melksham.

..... however - this morning of 21st DOES bring an email that tells me that "no final decisions have been made" within First - with regard to Melksham - so LET THEM KNOW your thoughts.   See the front page of this site - loads of updated links ...
