- all costs to be invoiced by end of March


## Questions / Points of discussion

- did you liaise with TREx? (aware TPS are involved)
- please note [AV in Enigma guidance](https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmathison.turing.ac.uk%2FInteract%2FPages%2FContent%2FDocument.aspx%3Fid%3D2421%26SearchId%3D182996%26utm_source%3Dinteract%26utm_medium%3Dquick_search%26utm_term%3Dav%2Benigm&data=05%7C01%7Cmnemes%40turing.ac.uk%7C76e5592026ef48cdb10e08dafee1420f%7C4395f4a7e4554f958a9f1fbaef6384f9%7C0%7C0%7C638102540669554696%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=OW9YpSQqT4itQfiIQS8G43Rw38ugrxHTuBOaylYPf4A%3D&reserved=0), and you can book a slot to test
- events Team support is a likely no as the team is wholly focused on AIUK and even without that they wouldn’t be inclined to immediately support this. Enigma space is intended for community members/self-organised events
- recommend not to start the day at 10:00 in case delays at British Library doors. Push back by 15 mins or so and this also is appreciated by those travelling for in-person (from experience)
