Notes from this meeting

P.Kyberd reported a successful run period from last week. Smooth consistent operation of MICE.   
        Untrained personnel last week caused problems with controlled entry. Highlights importance of attending training and also justifies frequency of retraining.   
        DS cold box showing some abnormal instability so Mike and Mark plan to warm up and clean through with N2 and then cool again
        Shifter training to be fitted in towards end of working week before weekend running
        Yordan wants to test new prototype of online reconstruction. Requires 2hr debug window. 
        Mike C requires direct notice of desire to power existing FC in hall
