They most certainly were.<br><br>Of you remember at the Board meeting in Coventry we went through them very quickly.  Chris then created a sort of triage document tht led to an absorbtion of as much as was practiclly possible. This helped populate the bid to the FDC and I have produced this pared down version.<br>

<br>A lot of the ideas, it was felt, could be accommodated within the project grants programme, other that were more ambitious needed to wait until funding could be found.<br><br>Worth emphasising perhaps that a lot of the budget has room for flexibility as the year progresses.<br>

Obviously not all suggestions could be implemented (finite budget, hours in the day, etc), but it would be nice to see some followup so that those who made suggestion feel like they actually contributed something. I don&#39;t think any were completely insane (though some perhaps impractical).  </span></div>
