Any apache velocity experts out there?

Currently writing this for something at work

It’s nothing too fancy, i just wondered if anyone could tell me if it could be made more efficient?

A mate recommended a hashmap instead but I would like to know other peoples opinion.

Given that it isnt that complex I am hoping that it is readily apparent as to what I am doing.

p.s forgive any structural errors (if any), dont have access to the web server and put it together on the train home…

## output template area below, basic prints for now as I dont have the template ready

<p>
<strong>Sheetlink:</strong> $sheetlink <br />
<strong>Group:</strong> $group <br />
<strong>Group Sheet:</strong> $groupsheetlink <br />
</p>

$m.context.site.bean.externalId.externalId returns the website id, as set within our multisite cms, so that if statement within the foreach bit is nabbing the bits it needs per site.
