Surely it's not "out of the blue" as Jono had the original agreement in 
place for BCF events? They were one of the two fair organisers who 
agreed to donate tables, IIRC.

If you're not the official InfoPoint contact for BCF Kat, then I guess 
Jono still is. The original scheme (and AFAIK the agreement with fair 
organisers) relied on Jono co-ordinating things centrally to ensure that 
the tables were donated to legitimate InfoPoints. If Jono can't 
co-ordinate the BCF events any more, then we could do with, as you 
suggest, appointing a proper contact. We would also need all the contact 
and other information Jono has from BCF to ensure we have the best 
chance of picking up the baton.

We in Hampshire may well end up doing BCF events from next month, and 
Alan Cocks looks keen to start something in Bracknell too, so it would 
be worth clearing this up. Should we be unable to secure free or 
cut-price tables, I think we would stop doing InfoPoints. The charge of 
£35 for a single table is simply too much, especially as we usually use 
two tables at our current fairs.
