Bagging-Scotland planning continues and our ace designer Ramsay’s pulling-together a presentation for a number of potential ‘In Association With’ sponsors. Putting an exact ‘number’ on how much this jolly excellent opportunity is worth is a toughie because we’ve not got a ‘model’ to base it on. However, we’ve taken a researched and educated gues at…well, there’s no way I’m telling you here. Big thanks to my clever PR chum Pete Sigrist at Fishburn Hedges, who offered me some very good advice in this area. I rip the pish out of Mr Sigrist as he’s stupidly posh but he’s a clever chap and goes out of his way to help you. As he’s busy and as he offers this advice for nowt, I value him greatly and he’s a great geezer but I am too shy to tell him. Hope to hell he doesnae read this!

Today, I also met-up with the GMF Co people, who happen to be based in Glasgow’s Lighthouse. Fucking hypocrite that I am, I was in there today and managed to avoid the snipers. It was completely, utterly dead, so I stand by every comment I made in ‘that blog’ where a number of people suggested I “ken fuck-all aboot fuck-all”.

Anyway, in spite of biding in a ghost building, I really liked their style and think they’d be interesting to build relationships with because they’ve got a broad experience. They also seem to be up-for-the-cup. However, I was rather sparkled today, so probably came across like a manic loon.

As they work on the Tiree Wave Classic,  they ‘get’ islands, so we’ll see. I’d like to do something with them, anyway. I’ll call them and ask if they can help with sponsorship. I alluded to this but alluding to things is a bit daft. As from today, I’m being a LOT more direct!
