MoscowFlyer Sep 2015 9:43am, 30 Sep 2015 3,116 posts	0 MoscowFlyer I believe it's only overseas applicants that get an email and the magazines are only being sent today and won't be received until tomorrow at the earliest?

MoscowFlyer Sep 2015 9:47am, 30 Sep 2015 3,117 posts	0 MoscowFlyer That may be wrong then, but I'm fairly sure I've seen them confirm it's the overseas applicants that get the email and UK ones get the magazine.
Nelly Sep 2015 9:50am, 30 Sep 2015 2,667 posts	0 Nelly My understanding is:- Overseas accepted/rejected - email UK accepted - magazine UK rejected - a random selection get the magazine (presumably including all who bequeathed their entry fee) and the rest get an email
legend777 Sep 2015 10:15am, 30 Sep 2015 30 posts	0 legend777 only seen rejection magazines so far on Facebook. You'd think they could cope with sending out all the rejection e-mails today. I'm guessing the up to October 7th date is just to give them plenty of leeway and stop too many queries after the first day.
MoscowFlyer Sep 2015 10:37am, 30 Sep 2015 3,118 posts	0 MoscowFlyer No magazine for me. I have no idea why, in 2015, they can't just do it all by email with an e-magazine anyway.

MoscowFlyer Sep 2015 10:59am, 30 Sep 2015 3,119 posts	0 MoscowFlyer Yeah, I guess. Although my rejection mag has gone straight into the recycling bin each time for the past 7 years.
