Oh, Hypatia’s calculations. Did not need one more thing on my plate, though you will kindly notice I am not volunteering myself to staff everything. (Raz would have my head if I tried, even if I felt up to it, which I don’t.)
I do plan to come see you tomorrow - had been hoping not to make the trip, but it’s clearly the fastest way to deal with the expense signatures and other details. And I need to finalise the security process with Campanella, so all the chaperones are working with the same guidelines.
On the staffing: The 6 third years should be presumed confirmed unless I tell you otherwise, though I’m still waiting on permisson from several of their parents.
2 April: Helpmann pointed out (useful, for once) that he’s not truly required for most of this round of meetings. Please swap the wrap-up of previous events discussion to first thing Tuesday morning (with the code discussion), and he’ll be glad to supervise the museums day.
7 April: I’ve been instructed that it’s entirely too delicate a visit for anyone else to handle, so me.
8 April: Dales : Vilas offered to take this one - apparently he’s fond of a bit of a hike and ramble himself, and as he says, Easter is not a family holiday for him. Featherstone, if we need him. (Honestly, though, I don’t trust his stamina.)
11 April : Cambridge visit. Stint has volunteered, which makes me wonder, but Campanella is glad to go too, and I trust her to keep him in line.
12 April: Helena’s offered and if you’d free yourself for this one, it’d be appreciated. I think you’d be a more enjoyable chaperone than the other options.
And if anyone (else) has questions about the Camelot Park trip, we certainly can’t stop people arranging a private outing there that day. Just the programme is not coordinating anything of the kind - and more importantly, not paying for it.
For next week: Can you confirm you’ve tested the full transcription quill? Otherwise, beyond the Helpmann change, no changes to the agenda, and could you get that out? And would you schedule me for lunch with Mum on Monday (she's handling where) and you and Campanella on Tuesday (would you book a quiet table somewhere handy), so we can talk through some of the security issues more privately?
If you need to firechat, I'll be in my office between 1 and 2. Otherwise, see you tomorrow.
