Kobus of CocaCola for banners. (We suspect one got nabbed by students... my spies on campus will keep an eye open for it.)

Jill Brown for Appeltizer/Just Juice.

Distell for the Magnums and Namibia Breweries/distributors for the other champagne that was donated.

Richard of Ultra Liquors, without them it would have been very thirsty work!

Shaun of Red Bull for their contribution.

Stable Pave for the Watertrucks without wich the day would have been really dusty.
