In these circumstances it would be helpful to have a little information, no need to have names, but if we could have the number of people who have had sponsorship once, twice, three times or more in the last six years I suspect it would do much to reassure people that the myth that the same people get sponsorship every year is either true or untrue.
FWIW, I have applied four times:
2012 - successful 2013 - unsuccessful 2014 - successful 2015 - unsuccessful
I ran a workshop in 2012 and gave a talk on each of the three days in 2014, as well as assisting at several of the pre-conference weekend events. My talk proposal was accepted in 2015, but without a scholarship, I could not attend. I can't recall whether or not my 2013 pitch to speak was accepted.
