It would be good to cover Pre-Kickstart activities in this email.

It would be good to cover Pre-Kickstart activities in this email.

Could you elaborate on this? There's already mention of (and a link to) the activities in the third paragraph (though I realise that if we're publishing them at the same time as we send this then the wording could usefully be updated -- I've added an inline comment). Is there more to it than that?

There were a number of issues here:
- the people we're addressing don't yet have (and may not get)
  places in the competition, so describing things as "your team"
  is potentially confusing as it's counter to the idea that places
  will be confirmed
- the pre-kickstart activities aren't about the kit
- the pre-kikcstart activities are being published at the same time
  (possibly slightly before) we send this email, so the tenses were
  wrong

Could maybe link to the running a team docs page

Yup, definitely. I added this to the form already actually and I've extended that content in srobo/docs#608 (along with adding another related page). If we can get that PR merged in before this ships I'll add links to both pages.

This turns out to be something we can edit when using MailChimp to
send emails.
