Event Sponsors
In order to offer our functions at competitive prices and raise as much money for charity as possible we are always on the lookout for new sponsors. If you can help us in any way, be it a cash donation or a raffle prize, please contact us.
PDO International Market Place
The International Market Place (IMP) organised by PDO is one of the largest fundraising events in Oman raising over 17,000 OMR in 2007 for local charities. The Caledonian Society would like to have a stall at the IMP to further promote Scotland in Oman and are looking for volunteers to help out. The IMP is expected to be in early December 2008. If you can help please contact us. More details to follow.
