== Meeting Agenda == 

1. BioPrep
- Josie: Summary of last week's biology meeting

2. Instrumentation
- Scifi:
 - Unlikely to get clear fibre to Robbie before he goes to ELI and want to test it at Birmingham first
 - Equipment currently at Queen Mary's (Ken talking to them)
- Air Scintillation
 - Colin/Narendar: Update on feasibility of the implementation at SCAPA and the timeframe 

3. SCAPA
- General Updates

4. Alternate Beamlines
 - ELI Rejected
  - Waiting for feedback

5. Review Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/67587c515b0c69656ee78b48/ATTIe86f94b24e3e5884e4cb87e5ed3b89ab64321B83/poplar
