I loved the 'Passing Clouds' blog, I even enquired for me gran, but no reply recieved.
Like to enter but going on hol, so no ruddy time-again!
Glad you took the time to come along to the retreat 
I can fix your Gran up with Charlie Chumpy if you like and reserve a van with a view.
I knew I had no chance of getting anything in shape, so didn't bother this time.
Good luck to all who entered though.
SITCOM TRIALS - TIME TO VOTE (Everyone welcome)
Right everyone. There are 18 scripts in the files at the Sitcom Trials in contention for the Manchester show. http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/SitsVac/files/-%20Sitcom%20Trials%20-%20Manchester%20Oct%2021%202011/
I'd like you all to read, review and vote on them now. You post your votes here in this forum (or over in the other forum, choice is yours), and you vote YES, MAYBE or NO to every script you read, and give a Twitter length review of each to prove you've read it. The deadline for posting your votes is midnight Saturday October 8th.
Don't worry if you don't get to read them all. Your votes are counted Yes=2, MAYBE=1, NO= minus 1. So anything you don't vote on doesn't affect the figures. The scripts are:

The Redstones buy a Goldfish for their daughters birthday

When's the votes got to be in by...?

Thankyou. Deadline for voting, next Saturday October 8th.
Kev, first of all well done for all the effort you're putting in on this.
One point, though--you're not going to include "Go Wild in the Country" and "Kiss Me Son of God" in the voting, are you? They've already been through their Trials and been performed in 2002 or 2003. What benefit is there to include them now when they could be taking up the spot of an entry from this year?
Am I being mathematically inept? Surely if people only get a chance to read a couple, and vote yes or maybe, then those will be going through ahead of any scripts people haven't had time to read.
And if there are 16 entries (minus Kev's 2) but only 6 people on this forum have expressed an interest in entering, will that count as fair representation? Maybe I'm overly sensitive but I'd not join a forum that I was interested in being a member of (presumably, as sitcom writers) and then have to vote no (either honestly or tactically) to longer-standing members pieces...
And what happens if no-one votes?
Why not send them all off to Manchester and let the cast decide - they've a much longer time scale between receipt of scripts and performance than earlier in the year (when I think they looked at ten scripts) Nothing to stop us reveiwing and commenting on the scripts, though.
My tuppence worth. 
Evertsen: I'd be happy with that.
Yeah, don't really feel comfortable using a critique style set-up to decide fates of other writer's scripts. That's a good idea Evertsen
hopefully most of the people who entered will take the time to read and review the entered scripts
I know I won't have time to read 18 scripts in a week! So feels quite unfair to those who I just haven't got round to who might be much deserving of those points
Can anyone vote on any script or is it just the entrants voting...?
And do you have to vote on all of the scripts for your votes to count, this was supposed to have happened last time but didn't...
