We have since had more enquiries from companies interested in sponsoring our club in many different ways, which is really exciting, so we are hoping for our future events to be bigger and better. Just an update on the PA system - we are still going through processes in the insurance claim for the PA system that was stolen earlier in the year. The guys from Sound Serious who supplied the original system were able to help us out with organizing a system to use for the show, and are working to find a replacement system. The one we used for the show is a trial of what we are hoping to replace our system with, which we thought worked really well. Have a great month! Sue
