UCL are very keen and I have someone who is willing to act as a go-between between us and them, so to speak. He's too busy to be actually organising anything himself but he can help us. His concern was that as soon as we had something more concrete and a "tighter bid" he would be able to help us more by knowing who to contact and so on. He also felt a big issue was accomodation, I said that people can organise that themselves and stay in their accomodation, and he said he would look in to that and to keep him posted.
