Dear All
If anyone is wavering re applying for one of these grants you should know that it is my understanding that British Council is looking for more applicants, particularly from outside London, and inside home nations other than England. So get applying, especially if you are in Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales.
I have taken advantage of similar travel grants and they are great for early careerists who want to broaden their horizons, right through to hoary old cynics like me who need to get out of the usual way of thinking and discover creativity and inspiration.
Do apply! I'd be interested to learn what you learn.
