Recruitment Resources - Specials (thinking about the regulars?  Click here!)

If you're thinking about joining the Specials it can all seem a bit daunting, there's lots of questions you may have about what it's like being a Special, and how to go about applying.  This page collects together hopefully all of the information you need in one place, and gives you some pointers on where else you might find the answers you need.
