   Tim suggested he will get in touch with MI to bring Jenni Smith back for a day, paid by GMI. Grants have to be activated and Jenni had to leave the committee abruptly for personal reasons. Meanwhile Anja will try and work out details of grants and dates when they were allocated and provide Tim with the information, so that steps can be taken to get money transferred into the GMI account.
