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.

have just emailed the chairwoman of a mums and babies group in Bangkok that has loads of members throughout the city...

glassslipper · 11/05/2007 18:29

debbsy - i'm sure if you circulate to uk friends they will pass to their friends and some will be abroad.

sarahinphuket · 11/05/2007 18:29

debbsyandson - i wonder if you could contact some of the coach companies in the UK to see if they can display posters in the windows of their coaches?
I'm in Thailand and I really have to go to bed as it is 1am here!

ThisIsDavinaPleaseDoNotSwear · 11/05/2007 18:31

Have put a request in to Bloomberg to have this on Bloomberg TV, website, trader terminals, and radio in Spain. They are ameniable to helping in some way and will call me over the weekend to discuss if necessary. What is the best place/person to direct them to if they want more colour/guidance?

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 11/05/2007 18:33

I think there are laws about displaying things in windows of moving vehicles...

debbsyandsonn · 11/05/2007 18:33

yes i could do that no problem i will do it later

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 11/05/2007 18:34

td who do you work for then? you seem to have contacts everywhere lol.

ToughDaddy · 11/05/2007 18:36

i am into playing with (other peoples) money. So I have channels into the Finance media. Usually they are trying to get a story from us.

McDreamy · 11/05/2007 18:36

My brother runs a bus company too so I'm going to get names of comanies than go abroad and ask them to do the same. Got loads of names off my dad for the lorry companies!

ChocolateFace · 11/05/2007 18:36

Should I still concentrate on Spain? ( Was about to do English speaking Property agents)
Or do they now have sufficient media converage? What other countries should I think of?

sarahinphuket · 11/05/2007 18:37

wannabe - has to be worth a try, just in case!

McDreamy · 11/05/2007 18:37

There can't be as all these companies advertise their products on moving vehicles - what's the difference?

GloveandSpecialsauce · 11/05/2007 18:38

Beckam is on the cover of EL PAIS holding a poster.

Great work!

I have contacted expat friends based near Alicante and very muvh involved in the local community
also sent one to india..

ToughDaddy · 11/05/2007 18:44

very important that we follow up next week on individual attempts at circulation, right

McDreamy · 11/05/2007 18:44

How about football clubs? Could put her photo up on their massive boards at half time?

ScoobyDooooo · 11/05/2007 18:45

Yes football clubs great idea especially try Madrid....

ToughDaddy · 11/05/2007 18:46

also ask your partners to circulate at their workplaces if they work (especially for multinationals), right?

sarahinphuket · 11/05/2007 18:48

airports - would be great if posters could be displayed at all check in desks. do you think this would be feasible?

sarahinphuket · 11/05/2007 18:49

though again I think it might be easier for someone UK based to do that...

I am trying to think of other ideas too.
