Hi Joss,

Apologies in advance, I should probably know how to change the minutes...
however, I don't (but I am ready to learn!), and I am keen that item 14
reads as:

14. The Social Science Research Council has recognised the eligibility of
SSC students for their prize in Visual Sociology

Thanks in advance,

David
