\begin{enumerate}

\item	 {\bf Minutes of meeting of 9 September:} accepted

\item	 {\bf Matters Arising/ Actions:}

\begin{itemize}

\item	 {\it Item 10: ~} \\
Beamline at ANU --- BRF had approached H.Price and the NPC.
Formal agreement had been obtained to use ex--NSF equipment and possibly
a Birmingham pump. The installation would be studied by the support group,
along with the planned beamline for Strasbourg. Contact with ANU to be
maintained. \action{JSL}

\item	 {\it Agenda} \\
The present agenda was deliberately kept brief because
the main items demanded considerable discussion. It was agreed that the
omission of other regular items was regretted but essential.


\end{itemize}



\item	 {\bf De-briefing on ANU Running:} 


The inaugural running period in Australia had been successfully completed.

BRF extended thanks on behalf of everyone
to the advance group (Mike Leddy, Garry Tungate and
Steve Hall) and the ``basic presence'' group (Steve Hall, Roger Ward
and Chris Jones) for their successful efforts.
Special thanks went to Steve Hall for his long stint, and
special commendation to Paddy Regan (ANU) for his valuable assistance.

BRF had asked in advance of the meeting for people to be ready to suggest
items for attention before the next running period.
DLW tabled a list of comments on these matters, prepared by WDMR and himself
during the recent running.

It was agreed to work through the tabled list, and actions were assigned
to 26 agreed items. A document detailing these actions should be
prepared. \action{WNC}

\end{minipage}}



\item	 {\bf Discussion on Grant Submission:} 


BRF had circulated a draft copy of the Charissa document that would be
submitted as an Annex to each group's grant request.

The draft document was discussed in detail: report, future plans,
resources requested.

%It was noted that the NPC in its forward look had included the following
%figures:
%\begin{center}
%\begin{tabular}{r@{\hspace{1cm}}cccc}
%Financial Year: & 1994/5 & 1995/6 & 1996/7 & 1997/8 \\
%Charissa: (\pounds K) & 139 & 210 & 140    & 140
%\end{tabular}
%\end{center}
DLW pointed out that grant requests should make clear that requests were
costed according to academic years.

The costings of new developments and the breakdown of these between
institutions were agreed. The manpower to be requested under each
institution was also agreed.

It was agreed that a meeting to discuss radioactive beam initiatives
was required. \action{BRF}

It was agreed that each institution would attend to its own travel
requests independently from the Charissa annex. The costing scheme employed
for technical
Eurogam travel was noted, viz. mid-week European fares, hotel room with
breakfast, plus \pounds 25/day subsistence. An estimate of Charissa travel
costs was derived as follows: 2 trips to the ANU at \pounds 2K/trip plus
European travel and conferences, giving \pounds 6K/yr per person all in.



\item	 {\bf Any Other Business:}


BRF reported that he had discussed the developments in data acquisition
with VP, and that it was recommended that the readout into VME would be
put in place for March 1994. This was agreed.


\item	 {\bf Date of Next Meeting:} \\


	Next Meeting: 11.30 a.m., Wednesday, 5 January 1993 in 
			Birmingham.\\[2mm]

	Lunch arrangements to be made. \action{BRF}
