Dear Emma How would you like to sort out the expenses for the meeting last week (my train travel came to £62)? Would you like me to submit a claim, and if so, can you send me a copy of the appropriate form, or would you like me to wait until after the July event and submit a single claim then? Regarding the July event, have you thought on how you would like to recompense me for that? There are clearly two ways - one at a rate similar to the BSS panel daily honorarium, the other at my consultancy rate for a day. I am easy regarding the method. Given that this is a trial, and that I am a BSS panel member, maybe it would be best to simply give me the BSS daily rate. This would probably also be appropriate if you wanted to do a second trial (following lessons learned from the first event), or indeed, a trial of a more advanced course. IF you wanted my services in the future when the course is up-and-running properly, then it might be appropriate to switch to another rate (my rates vary, depending on various factors , from 400-900 per day; for BBSRC for a purpose in which I believe I would charge only 400), though if it might be perceived that there might be some sort of conflict of interest, it might be best to retain the daily rate for any event during the period in which I remain a BSS panel member. Beyond the trial, what are your thoughts on rolling out the course? One route would be to have an open tender (and you'd get the usual lags used to running communication courses); the other would be largely to do this in-house. That is for you to decide, though i think that - given you and Patrick are largely designing the materials, and would be running the first event - it would be good for you to keep that expertise in-house if you could (I guess that would depend upon how frequently you wanted to do the course, and the constraints on your times). Keeping it in-house would also enable you to maintain a BBSRC slant and be reactive to current issues and trends, possibly being directed by the BSS panel, and enabling 'guest' experts to take part as-and-when. Have a good weekend. Blimey - the sun is out!
