Default MDL Sponsorship! great news

I've just been speaking to Dean, head of sales and marketing at MDL, and they are willing to provide £800 sponsorship towards the event, as they have done previously, which is incredibly generous of them.

We may need to split visiting boats between Mecury and Hamble Point marinas, in order to fit them all in, which opens up the option of possibly having the meet at Hamble Point, which we are currently discussing.

If you want to have a stab at getting Adnams onboard, and providing a barrel for the bar, feel free. It's worth a go.

The thanks are to MDL for providing such sponsorship. It wasn't originally on the cards. It's fantastic that they are willing to give such sponsorship. We are having some interesting conversations, though I can't give details yet, about hosting the event

Well done Brendan and thank you soooo much Dean from MDL. I've been to the last two of these events at Mercury and as much fun as they were, it wouldn't have been half as enjoyable had MDL not given us their support

Thanks guys xx

That is great news - many thanks to MDL.

Hopefully this goes a long way to making the whole thing a reality that is achievable with the numbers now signed up.

This sort of thing doesn't happen unless key people roll their sleeves up and get stuck in, so incredibly well done.
