Boyan,
Because I was only cutting 0.2mm per pass (which ought to keep cutting forces low) I used double sided tape to hold the carbon fibre composite down to a sacrificial 2mm acrylic sheet, which was in turn held down to an aluminium tooling plate with double sided tape,
Regards,
Nick

Here's the bits in which the test cut produces the internal aperture, I don't know what I'll do with the cut outs but they're so cute I can't put them in the bin just yet ;-)
