I'm not suggesting that any old volunteer could get us sponsorship - but
we have the contacts, and I'm more than happy to introduce people to
people (I'm sure Jeff is the same) if I have a fair idea that they're
not going to ruin a relationship ;)

This is the work I'm thinking about - the actual relationship
management, getting the money, doing invoices, following up regularly if
there's no reply, etc.

Cheers,
Dave.
