Jessica. I don't think she was paid for the loan of equipment, but I
might be wrong.

Yeah, that is unfortunate...

I have no objections to buying or renting equipment if borrowing is not
an option, but I'm having a hard time swallowing the purchase of 4
computers just for the event, at a cost of maybe €2500 or €3000. Adding
in equipment hire for the cameras, streaming will be costing us over
€5000. And from a personal point of view, I'm also having a hard time
swallowing that we're talking about these costs now, rather than a
couple of months ago.

All that said, Quim is the man, the decision to spend/rent/borrow comes
from him - I just didn't want a decision to be taken without thinking
whether there is a cheap solution to the problem.

Cheers,
Dave.
