Hi Tom,
The 10K was in the budget and had not been spent at last meeting in Birmingham. It was thought then too late to spend it, but I volunteered for the task. Basically I sent out an email and funded those people who applied and we also funded some who had failed to get foundation funding (two from overseas).
If it's any help, I'm willing to put in a retroactive application to help use up some funds ;-)
Would it be worthwhile stating in advance - ie, now or fairly soon - the intention of funding some people to go to WM2012, even if the details of what criteria to use aren't yet set out? Then people will at least know something is available and can register an interest in it, and there'll be some impetus to have it get spent.
