Re: [guadec-list] Sponsor's Brochure

[Dave Neary <dneary free fr>]

Hi,

So that there's no risk of leaving a crack for things to fall through, I 
don't have the time to be a sponsorship contact. I am happy, if someone 
else is taking it on, to chase down 2 or 3 companies; but we need to 
have someone co-ordinating the fundraising effort. This is urgent - if 
we start looking now, we can expect at least a month, perhaps two, 
before sponsors confirm. And that brings us into April. Another couple 
of weeks, and we'll be attacking May without knowing how much money we 
have available to us.

This person should be the official contact on the form, along with Quim 
(or someone else from the local team) for Spanish sponsors.

Cheers,
Dave.
