I suspect I'm too late for changes, but notes for the future:
I agree that the "SRYYYY-YY" notation is confusing. Especially as we already imbue the idea of two calendar years into "SRYYYY", it's entirely unclear what it means.
There wasn't an SR2007; SR2008 was the first. I think it's unclear to use competition years to denote volunteer year ranges -- volunteers come and go throughout (and many have volunteered during periods when there weren't competitions), so using calendar years is clearer.
Expressing that someone is still in a role is best done with "YYYY - present" rather than putting an end year. An explicit end year implies that they're no longer in that role.
"Blueshirt" has tended to be rendered as a single word.
If we're going to get quotes from people, please don't alter them without consultation. Mine has been edited and has lost the key part -- that the things volunteers work on are used by a large audience and have to be reliable. That's the part which is impressive to employers, the deadline part is secondary.
@TomWheal ideally this should end up in the https://github.com/srobo/runbook. Would you be able to document how to create the fliers there? I suggest a new section under the "Competition" section?
@TomWheal thanks for doing this. Please could you contribute the source into a suitable repo? (Probably https://github.com/srobo/promotional-material?)
