3a - Note that 9 people probably shouldn't cost that much, but I
understand we should have a buffer.

I'm hoping CR will be able to organise a place for a few of us to stay.
If possible to do, it'd be nice to get that funding in place in-
advanced so as not to burden Chris with the cost liability.

Thanks Tav for setting this up.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
