Dear GridPP
Apologies for the inevitably late notice, but there is a UKT0
face-2-face meeting advertised (see end of mail) that we hope a few
members of GridPP will be able to attend. This is part of the award we
got for “UKT0” late last year (primarily for non HEP activities). Since
that time we have been consumed by making sure the money gets spent in
FY, getting important cases into BEIS, preparing GridPP Oversight
Committee docs, …etc.. which means we are a bit behind in the
organisation. The context for all of this will be explained in detail at
GridPP40 - and there is lots of news.
The bottom line however is that there is a UKT0 meeting at Cosnors on
March 14th/15th. Space is limited by the venue capacity so we can't
accommodate a deluge from GridPP because it is very important to leave
space for the other communities. But it would be great to have a number
of GridPP representatives, particularly those with strategic and/or
technical input, or those directly concerned with supporting other
activities, or likely to do so in the future. (GridPP will pay normal
travel expenses - so comment below about expenses being down to the
individual should be interpreted as "down to GridPP")
So if you would like to attend, then I would ask that you exercise
judgement in each institute as to who should go. In the first instance,
we request just one person an institute but there are clearly cases more
than one may be appropriate: if this then please contact Andrew Sansum
to check if there is enough space.
Pete

There is a limited amount of accommodation in Coseners which will be
allocated on a first come first served basis. After Coseners is
axhausted we have provided a couple of possible venues – I’ll do some
more info provision about accommodation in Abingdon and surrounds in a
later email.
Cost of meeting and meals at Coseners is being picked up by UKT0.
Accomodation, travel and other expenses are down to the individual.
