>> Dear Cameron/Simon,

>> I would suggest for the proposed sponsorship page on the website that you
>> also add contact details for Kirsty so that any interested and potential
>> sponsors can both download the prospectus and contact Kirsty directly should
>> they have any questions.
>>
>>
>>
>> Please therefore add a sentence such as:
>>
>>
>>
>> To book your preferred sponsorship package, complete the enclosed booking
>> form and return to the Conference Sponsorship & Exhibition Sales Executive -
>> alternatively if you would like to discuss or explore other avenues of
>> involvement which may not be outlined in the Prospectus please contact
>> Kirsty O'Brien, Sponsorship & Exhibition Sales Executive Tel: +61 2 9265
>> 0700 or email kobrien at tourhosts.com.au.
