This is slipping from the news and the police are starting to scale down their seraches.

Evidence seems to suggest that Madeline may have been taken to Spain and yet very few people out there are aware of what has happened or what she looks like etc.

We need to send as many emails as we can to Spanish businesses with a poster attachment and highlight this case.

I need mumsnetters to volunteer.

I have called in sick today to get this started but this is a massive task and I cannot do it on my own.

Please let me know if you can help.

Shall I just update this thread for those that have recently joined.....

We are trying to get as many people as possible to spread the news of Madeleine's dissapearance.

There are a number of posters that can be sent as email attachments and we are trying to get as many sent as possible to contacts in Spain (plus any other European country if you have contacts there)

Please add your email address to here if you would like me to send you a poster attachment. I also have some Spanish Translations here if you need them.

jsut spoken to El Pais news desk.

They are already covering the story and a plea from David Beckam has already been filmed.

In terms of media coverage in my opinion it is already being covered.

What is needed now is to contact expats to print and distribute in Spain the posters.

Perhaps it will be worth it contacting association of expats who have the spare time to do the distribution on the ground.

It will be best if they have the posters printed themselves and then just give them to the businesses to print.

Bear in mind that is the weekend and lots of companies are not open now until Monday.

David Beckham's plea has already been aired

Reuters journalist has just fowarded the link to their Madrid bureau. Willchase him next week to see what was done with it. Will see how we get on with Bloomberg next week.

have just contacted the local English language paper here in Thailand asking if they can help and also if they can contact all the other papers (Thai and English) in Thailand. Have also asked my boss if we can do something....

ToughDaddy · 11/05/2007 18:01

LucyJones · 11/05/2007 18:02

Penelope Cruz

ToughDaddy · 11/05/2007 18:04

Penelope Cruz seems a nice, very popular lady. How about cold calling her agent

I wonder if coach companies could put posters in the windows of their coaches?

National Express, Shearings
can't think of the others in teh UK? Is anyone in the UK able to get onto the coach companies>

McDreamy · 11/05/2007 18:13

Just seen on the news how only 50% of people stopped in teh street recognised a picture of Madelaine!!!

What a great thread - get those posters out there.

I am in Cyprus & I know no-one in Spain but if I can be of any help please let me know.

sarahinphuket · 11/05/2007 18:14

McDreamy - I don't think this is limited to Spain anymore - send the poster on to anyone, anywhere! Can you put some up in Cyprus?

McDreamy · 11/05/2007 18:14

That's people stopped in the street in Spain just an hour away from where she went missing

McDreamy · 11/05/2007 18:15

Yep! I will, she is in the local paper but unfortunately no picture!!!! I will send them a poster too.

sarahinphuket · 11/05/2007 18:15

and how about the HGVs that take goods through Europe? no idea how we could go about that one... but imagine if lots of the lorries going across the channel had pictures of Madeleine...

McDreamy · 11/05/2007 18:16

Ooh good idea Sarah - my dad is a lorry driver (not abroad) but he will know some companies to get in contact with - leave that one with me

ThisIsDavinaPleaseDoNotSwear · 11/05/2007 18:17

I wonder if there is an equivalent to mumsnet in Spain or maybe some Spanish Business forums?

If anyone can find them, I will post the translated text that I have received.
