A meeting was scheduled online to discuss how to score the 2nd tranche of funding applications, as a physical meeting was not advisable due to lockdown.

The online meeting with the technical and investment committee went through how to fill in and score the 5 page scoring sheets for each project for the next tranche of projects, this was envisaged to be very time consuming and we were given 3 weeks to score and return sheets.
