  Does anyone know of someone who would be interested in sponsoring my daughter Saskia for the forthcoming Miss European competition which is been held at The Burstin Hotel at the end of this month. She has just lost her sponsor today and is very upset as she may have to pull out now at the very last minute as the deadline is imminent.
  
  The sponsor will have their name on her sash, in the programmes, leaflets, the official website and local press publicity. She worked hard all summer and with our help was able to purchase all the various dresses etc. The cost of sponsorship is £400.
  
  She phoned me today and asked if I could put this on the forum.

  OMG Guys, I'm overwhelmed by your generosity, amazing, so kind of you both, but we couldn't possibly accept.
  
  What I meant to say was, we are looking for a commercial sponsor, a business who will benefit from the publicity coverage, such as Hairdressers, Taxi companies, retail outlets, any kind of business really.
  
  Alan and Marek, it would not be fair to accept your kind offers but many many thanks indeed to you both
  
  Will let Saskia know.

  I am sure there would be one or two logistical problems, but could an approach not be made to the many firms who advertise on the Dover Forum?
  Presumably various photographs could grace said business premises;beshashed beauty holding plumbing components etc.?
  
  Who knows? There will probably be rules on these sorts of things.
  
  Best of luck though.

  time would be too short i think tom.
  
  there is only about 3 weeks left and to get a group involved is not practicable, would have to be one business covering it.

  I am sure you are entirely correct Howard.

  I was quite happy to put up some funds too

  Thanks for all the amazing offers but we just couldn't accept it from you guys. We needed a business to sponsor Saskia and Hey Bingo! we now have one, so she can go to the ball after all
  We have a commercial sponsor now on board which was the idea in the first place. More details will be up shortly on another thread
  
  Many thanks again Guys
