I have said that I'm interested n being part of such a bid if he manages to get a consortium together. 1. Have you already divided up the cake? I don't think so. As far as I know, we haven't even discussed this, but I may not know all the details. 2. What other partners do you have? The last I heard was that he has got Atle Harby, Ivar Bertling, Francisco Doblas-Reyes, Zbyszek Kundzewicz, Alessandro Tarantino, but ids looking for further potential participants. 3. Is there any money left for us? I should think so, because we have not got to the point of discussing money. 4. We're also working with Tim Carter (who is in Finland) and knows all the impact people. I think you should tell James Rydock this - and I'll of course vouch for you and recommend your involvement.

The topic we are addressing is ENV.2010.1.1.4-1 'Underpinning work to enable provision of local scale climate information (annual to decadal timescales)' James says that you and Paco (who seems soon to be moving back to Catalunya) will be leading the bid from a scientific perspective. James says he is contracted to put the bid together. This is a quick email to check these facts. As you know Chris and I have put together the Weather Generator for the new set of UK climate scenarios (UKCP09) that were released this summer. Now some quick questions 1. Have you already divided up the cake? 2. What other partners do you have? 3. Is there any money left for us? 4. We're also working with Tim Carter (who is in Finland) and knows all the impact people. Apologies for poorly constructed email, but I have to do this before rushing home!
