Sponsor slot holds · 2026-06-19

Provisional Cork sponsor dates, not sold inventory.

Approval-gated register for sponsor slot holds before Cork has live checkout, outreach permission or paid inventory.

No slot is reserved, sold, promised, invoiced, paid, emailed or published from this register. Every hold is provisional until David approves outreach and the advertiser passes proof, copy, payment and date checks.
