As the new season approaches it is time for us to seek additional finances to help cover the upcoming running costs and other things that need doing around the club. We have been very lucky over the years with the continued support from Anderson Contractors and it was great to welcome Lens Lino’s on board last year. That support allowed us to put a new scoreboard in place and also to supply shirts for all the junior teams at a discounted cost. All of the many sponsors we have had over the years have come from within and have been local companies associated with players or parents of youth team players.
This year some of the projects we are looking at include, providing better seating arrangements in front of the club house for spectators and those enjoying a drink during youth training on a Friday evening. We are also looking into relaying and possibly moving the square at the end of the season.
If you own, manage or can in anyway influence a local company, for a relatively small minimum donation of £500 you would get a pitch side banner with the company details on, logos links etc. on our website and also mentions in our handbook, but most importantly you would be helping the club. Other packages are available for smaller donations. Larger multinationals such as BP, Johnson & Johnson & Microsoft probably do not require the above pitch side advertising package but will have their own local community programmes that could possibly be looked into by anyone at these companies.
It does not have to be a financial donation, if you have contacts within for catering world for example, you may be able to get your hands on something that may help on the kitchen/tea making/BBQ side. You may even be lucky enough to work for a brewery and could help with bar supplies. That are many ways you can help the club.
If you think you can help in anyway, please reply to this email.
Thanks
