Ouch, I'm going to take that personally.
I've now done 3 years at UCLUG. I was expecting to graduate this year
with honors!
Good to see the mail headers are being read.
I do see your point thou, I should learn to write endless applications
for funding before I should be allowed to even consider getting any!
No way should this be enough...

You should also have to fill out this!...
http://www.ccc.govt.nz/Community/Funding/FundingApplicationForm.pdf
Which you will have to print because it's not a word processor
document that you can just edit...
Three local students plus two out of town... errr crap, note to self,
don't mention those out of town ones... won't be enough to get that
level of funding.
You'd be right if you're thinking that I could have just filled it out
in the time I took to write a response to Nick, but at least I know
I'll get an intelligent answer right away from Nick (even if it is
personal abuse).
Cheers Don
Here's another approach to the same field of work:
A. Start small, prove viable what services you can in the marketplace,
then add to them incrementally - to get where the market supports you on
a sustainable basis (i.e. it isn't your own choice).
B. Oh, and apart from wasting scarce time, the form-filling gravy train
is (at best) of secondary use. The well floor keeps sinking, wasting
ever more time, and inevitably dries up entirely - leaving your good
efforts where?
Stick with plan A, I advise.
'Kia kaha'
