7 days left otherwise even the Nationwide Distribution bit of the Holloid statement is a nonsense

Always has been...
The more subtle changes are a timescale of 2009-2012 rather than 2011 and the mention of £100,000 of plastic being needed!
The less subtle alteration is to lose the "timescale" page altogether

The chances are actually quite good if you are allowed not only to move the goal posts but then to lose them somewhere

That change was too subtle for my quick scan through the documents. I thought you meant the change from "Every school needs 10 free chess-sets ..." to "Every school that applies will get 10 free chess-sets ..." and the removal of the statement that further sets could be purchased.
