 2. //LhARA/ITRF PA1 progress update: // CW \\
+ - 18 month report is now being populated.  HO, WP6 (Beam and infrastructure) have material inserted.  Most WPs now have contributions being prepared.  Need to discuss with WP3 (Capture) and make sure relevant information from WP4 (ionacoustic) is inserted.  WP5 (end station) is expected to be input by the end of the week.
+ - WP2: T.S. Dascalu and N.Dover working to upgrade modelling to meet milestone.  
+ - PoPLaR (bio-proof-of principle experiment)/WP7 -- Good meeting in Strathclyde last week.  Good attendance from Strathclyde biologists and LhARA personnel.  Agreed way forward.  R. Gray has beam time scheduled In December 2024 and January 2025 for preparation and first biological exposures.  Agreed to target placing order for magnets by the end of June 2024.
 
 3. //LhARA/ITRF PA2 bridging activity: // All \\
+HO reported hearing positive "noises", but, nothing concrete.  We continue on the assumption that the bridging resource will be granted.
 
 4. //MCSA application first steps: // KL  \\
+Excellent discussion, everyone engaged.  Agreed to take it forward and to begin discussions with interested colleagues.
