  Now has SCARF access, so can make a start.  In the mean time TSD has begun to simulate the LhARA source/capture system.
+ We discussed the possibility that David Spears @ Strathclyde might be willing to advise on the use of VSIM.  **RB** agreed to make the necessary introductions.

  Next steps:
  * **TSD:** initiate electrostatic simulations in VSIM on SCARF.
  * **KL:** (Re)initiate contact with O.Ettlinger, G.Hicks, and Z.Najmudin with a view to finding some support to get started with, e.g., SMILIE.
 
+=== Summary of actions ===
+ * **TSD:** Attempt some tutorial examples from VSIM
+ * **JPo:** Provide TSD with the geometry of the present prototype Gabor lens
+ * **KL/RB:** Take a look at the Bingham et al paper on laser-driven accelerator for medicine
+ * **KL:** Organise, TSD will take over organisation etc.
+  * **Done.**
+ * **RB** Introduce Titus to D. Spears.
