OK Guys.  So far we have the following members who have pledged their help.  We are ONE Team, and we shall all pull ONE rope (string):

Skip       The Gaffer   AlfaDelta    Shanook      CaptanJr     Fortuna      
Mundinu      CamKev      Dr. Tiziana Maria Refalo   Robby017    Bigboy   Mike.d    Rammx        Seafox        Jonathan     CLA144    Baghira

To this formidable group, I would like to add one member from each of the fishing clubs we have around Malta.  I've already spoken to the Marsamxett Club, who have confirmed their interest in participation.  

Finally, if there's anybody else out there who thinks he can contribute, please come forward and put your name down.  There is alot of prep work to be taken care of before we actually formally launch this initiative.

GUYS!!!!!!!!
I am screaming, I am shouting, I am ecstatic, I am over the moon, jumping up and down here in my office like crazy......Ohh, yeah, what about?

Ok, so....well...if we're going after big companies to sponsor this event, they will obviously need something in return, exposure.  That is why I thought about the commemorative magazine. 
There are 2 distinct stages in producing a magazine; there is the production and creation, and the final printing. 
Printing we'll talk about it later.  Its the production and the the creation which involves alot of hard work and professional approach.  This involves content generation, copy writing, relevant interviews, image sourcing and embedding, image production, proofing, design and artwork.  The more attractive and professional the magazine is, the better are our chances of securing the top companies. 
Well, I've just had a chat with one of the top magazine design companies here, with offices across Europe, and they're willing to talk.  They haven't promised their services for free yet, but they did promise to talk to us.  They want to know more about the content, involvement, and commitment, then make a final decision. 
I'm meeting them this Friday at noon.

Joe... one way or another we will secure a few sponsors, if we all pool our efforts, definately the event would be a huge success. We should promote Baghira as the "PR" rep ...he is just great. Never misses to pop up in every occasion, hands on chap & always on the forefront!! Xi darba dan zgur is sir Kavallier, foxna ghandu nahseb - Silv/Roby, this weekend I am going to talk to the Greyhound restaurant in Bidnija fuq il fenkata re cost, how many can the place hold, menu...insomma whatever it takes....will get back to you.
