Ok. Can you talk to him and try to work out a concrete proposition based
on this. To me, the main questions would be
- What can he bring (how many of those bags)?
- What happens if someone spills club mate on one of those? (or destroys
it by any other mean?)

Based on that, we can see which deals works best. I don't know how many
he usually charges for renting but maybe Bronze if he can bring 2 or 3
and silver if it's closer to 10? I'm not in charge of sponsors so maybe
Oliver has a different idea. And feel free to suggest something else if
you think it fits best.

You can try 
ghs AT lists.hackerspace.se
 and 
info AT collaboratory.se
 for
Gothenburg. But I don't know if they have a budget for that.
