If you are having a dinner in these centres, and you do not have a sponsor,
then the participants will have to pay (am I following you correctly?).
Then, you will need to collect money from participants, and hence a Sector
fee and back to where we started.  Or collecting money at the door - still a
form of sector fee but more of a user-pay type approach but tougheer to
predict numbers.

I'm suspecting (or hoping?) that 25-30 people might be a light for your
area, but it all depends upon how much PR you do locally, and how much
national and international press we can get.  It's a good place to start
though.
