Scholarship: due to a website problem, the deadline has now been extended to September 1. One application was received on August 16th. It was agreed that the notices should be sent out at the beginning of next year in order to avoid last-minute problems, and that we would contact the various branches of the Universities to make sure they are aware of the scholarships and communicate to their students.
We received a thank-you note for the Lego Mindstorms from the Boy Scouts.
