[Cc-fests&FR] {Spam?} {Spam?} Re: perfect funding source for the space

[wildwoodsman at riseup.net]

Hey Chris!

Marina has suggested having a look at this at the earth first moot this
weekend in Brighton... will you be around for that? If not I've got to
come up to London on Tuesday to meet my solicitor at lunchtime & was
planning on dropping in on the London CC meeting in the evening... are you
around at all on Tues to start looking at this face-to-face? If not are
you around next week to meet up? Also, given that the international wg
want to apply for funding we should think about how best to synthesise
these proposals for funding.

Cheers,
Neil
