We decided that the Institute of Technology would not be suitable for our show because of location and space. There had been some successful negotiations with Morgan arcade after our first contact. It had been handed over to Chris to negotiate the details and availability of the properties in the Morgan arcade. I kept in contact with the council to see if they could help with sponsorship of our show. I tried to explain that it was the first Illustration show to come out of Cardiff, however the council only sponsor companies and productions that in turn help the job market, so understandably we were not able to get any sponsorship form them.
