I have a handful of friends I’ve lent around a grand to before, one considerably more than that. With a repayment plan set up, which was followed, but I don’t really know or care what it was used for. Avoiding high interest rates on credit cards I assume.

For some reason the project proposal also includes the funding of two post grads to interview other post grads on the importance of poetry written in that time period.

Applications are being written for a follow on project to ask local residents if they feel more or less royalist every 6 months for the next 4 years.
