The closure of this hospital marks the end of an era in Glasgow and as a respected, local business, we would like to offer you the opportunity to share in this celebration and contribute to its success, giving the Hospital and its staff the farewell they deserve. To this end we ask if you would consider co-sponsoring the event to the value of £550.

How the Sponsorship can help you:

•    Raise levels of brand awareness
•    Benefit from media value generated from press coverage in SCENE Around – Scottish Field Magazine

The “Rebirth of the Queen Mother’s” will be celebrated with a dinner dance at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow on 20th November, 2009. The dinner will be attended by consultants, along with approximately 200 staff of the Queen Mother’s Hospital, past and present, medical and non-medical. Prior to the dinner, the Crowne Plaza will be host to a scientific convention. This event will allow medical and midwifery staff from near and far to have the opportunity to hear state of the art lectures, to exchange ideas and to meet colleagues and friends, past and present.

The Package of Rights:

•    Acknowledgements on the night
•    Branding on all press releases (subject to timing of agreement of sponsorship)

With acts like N-Dubz, Mr Hudson, Chipmunk, JLS and Tinchy Stryder all performing live, and the inimitable Keri Hilson and Reggie Yates as presenters for the evening, it was always going to be a dramatic evening with everyone looking for tickets and wanting to be a part of it. Elaine Hamilton was a guest at the Awards this year, and details her experience below.

I arrived at the MOBOs just in time to walk along the red carpet as both Tinchy Stryder and Mr Peter Andre (presenting backstage for the MOBOs) exited their cars. I was astounded by the hype and excitement generated by the Glasgow crowd, everybody dressed up to the nines and super super stylish in the way only Glasgow could be at 6.00pm on a chilly Autumn evening.

As I enjoyed all that the event had to offer, lucky enough to have access to the VIP area and later, a table close to the stage, I was hit by what a fantastic showcase this was for Scotland and for Glasgow. The acts were exciting and entertained throughout, the tribute to Michael Jackson was, of course, significant to everybody at the SECC in their own way, but most importantly for us as event organisers was the demonstration of what we can take on and what can be delivered by the exceptional talents in Glasgow and across Scotland.

I want to thank Elaine and her team at extratime for all of their hard work over the last few years. The company has managed and organised a whole host of services for me, and was especially helpful when I moved from Scotland to England. They arranged most of the logistical and administrative elements of the moving process on my behalf, which can be very difficult when you come from abroad and you are not aware of the procedures in the UK. I would like to reiterate how helpful the team was and would like to thank them all again for their hard work.

extratime popped in to the pop-up Perrier-Jouet Champagne bar at the weekend to check out the hard work of Gandolfi pioneer Seumas MacInnes. Brands bared their wares to intrigued visitors to the 4 day event, while burlesque dancers, fire-eaters and musicians entertained the merry throng. To heighten the glamour, models showing off clothes by Vivienne Westwood and Derryck Walker for Harris Tweed Hebrides wandered the historic building. For more information on ‘Gandolfi Goes Pop’, please check out the Scottish Herald: http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/bubbly-set-to-fizz-as-at-risk-historic-venue-wins-reprieve-1.919727

The National Trust for Scotland is due to meet to determine the fate of Hutchesons’ Hall in the coming weeks. Hopefully ‘Gandolfi Goes Pop’ got enough people through the doors to prove once and for all that this architectural icon in Glasgow deserves to be back front and centre as a venue and as a treasure in the city.

As for the risqué nature of revolutionary occasions, which may be du jour in London, and even in Edinburgh (during the festival), what is the consensus in Glasgow? Is the jury still out on guerrilla events, or do we all agree that one-off experiential ‘pop-ups’ really are the way forward for a city full to the brim with talent, new and old? At extratime, we definitely vote for any opportunity to push boundaries, utilising lesser-known or abandoned venues to showcase local talent. If you agree with us, we would love to hear your thoughts on experiential campaigns and drum up the design for another eye-popping event.
