ps. is the small grants program still in effect? - mentioned in the Secretary's report was 'The committee has extended the trial until the allocated funds have been distributed,' - and there would seem to be a further $300 available for 3 lucky applicants - when the new committee have settled in, perhaps this could be re-advertised a little as a priority, and I presume should the WIZOO idea progress at all, that it might be sensible for me to apply for said monies.
