[Committee] 8pm

[Marc Kaufmann]

Just to keep you in the loop, none of the rooms for the squash were
available anymore. My proposal is to drop it and have just a squash for us
and join the one Gunnar mentioned. We should organise something either
half-way through this term or at the beginning of next, by which time there
won't be quite so much going on, and we'll be better organised.

Tim Helweg-Larsen confirmed for the 23rd but needs to be paid travel
expenses (or contribution to it at least), ie we will have to ask for entry
fees. Peter Cox can't make it, but proposed a couple of people that I will
try and chase up over the next couple of days. Tim will also be staying at
our place for that night, as he won't be able to get back on that day,
Steve. Will leave us lots of time to chat as well.

That's it from me, great news from Gordon, will make work easier, but I
don't think it means less campaigning until december, as we should make sure
that they are certain that he has the support and that it is indeed
necessary.

Anyhoo, see you soonish,

Marc
