Sending apologies for this evening, sorry about that.
I think it would be good to have an AGM in March and perhaps to use that as the moment to take on a more formal structure and all the things like bank accounts that that that opens up; I know we have discussed this previously but I assume there was never a strong consensus or at least it fell by the wayside in favour of prioritising operations. I will have to have a look through past discussions on here.
@Sergio (or anyone on the emails), did we get anything back about that grant thing?

@ben If you are referring to the funding opportunity from a few months ago that was about 20k, we heard back from them shortly after applying. Unfortunately we were rejected.

@Lai not sure why the formatting is so funny in that - it just came from the notes : https://codimd.autonomic.zone/xYoHpdE_Q5CN7kC_gP7ZVQ?both#

@sean_f aha I’m not sure. I just copied and pasted it as I edited your post and it sorted it out.

oh, I see! no news from the European project yet, I’ll keep you updated. This type of grants usually take very long though…

It was that EU agroecology thing I was thinking about, a month or so ago… I don’t remember what happened but I know it was very short notice so perhaps we missed it altogether
Edit: sorry, I missed the other posts about this
