      I wonder did NYPS tell her that there is practically no hope for >2km balloting under 2B when she signed up for volunteer.

      Be fair to NYPS, there is no way to tell two years ahead what the situation be for phase 2B two years later

      and every one goes in with 4 eyes open - there is no guarantee. it is a calculated venture

        I know of schools which will advise volunteers if they ballot at 1 or 1-2 km at certain phases year after year. Knew this when I enquire about PV at certain schools or just asking about 2C. The schools just told me not a chance.

              Don’t think anyone is fascinated since these are just small screen actors. I’ll be keen if the school is attended by royalties and aristocrats or children of the who’s who in society.

                True. Like my friend once told me \"What's the big deal about them?\"...
