[matilda] Meeting notes

[Becky]

only skimmed this but I thought it was going to be facilitated by J & B (ie
me) not J & L
not that I mind but I'd like to know
I've never tried to update a wiki and due to references to lessons being
required I now assume its complicated so won't try incase I delete it all or
something
- so can some one else change it to J & B (unless L passionately wants to
facilitate next week and will be there).
thanks
Becky
