+Attended: CW, WS, FA, MD, JMcG, SdL, KL, CD

+== Meeting Notes == 
 1. Alternate Beamlines
  - ELI proposal:
   - Calvin has put together a draft document
+  - Will share it with the relevant people
   - (Not aiming for the 20th October deadline)
 
 2. BioPrep
  - Update from SCAPA that February is too early
+  - June 27th is when SCAPA is expecting to run protons again
+   - Realistically, this means "summer"
+  - Continue with the same plan for cells rather than delay
+ - Colin may be in Birmingham sometime this month so could transport the cells
+  - **Update after this weekend**
  - Update from RadioBio meeting
-  - Draft paper 
- - Josie to take the cells from Birmingham to Glasgow
- - Colin seen the X-ray machine yet? 
+  - Draft paper based on Josie's technical note
+ - X-ray machine currently broken so Colin has not yet seen it.
+  - Not yet
 
 3. Instrumentation
  - RCF
-   - Update on Tony's free sample of the new film?
+   - No Update
  - SciFi
-  - Update
-  - Coincide the Birmingham tests with Josie taking the cells?
+  - Update: Base fine-tuning.
  - Thin wall ion chamber and Diamond detector
-  - Does Richard have a planned date to present on this?
+  - No Update
  - Air fluorescence
   - Colin discussed this more with Narender?
+   - Waiting for a full plan and time first
 
 4. SCAPA
  - Updates
+  - Could look at the full beamline to improve and move things around
+  - Make edits to the carousel etc
+  - Need to learn about the experiment we are parasiting off so that we know what the setup will be. 
+
