Chairman’s Welcome To 2010-2011
Chairman’s Welcome
Believe it or not, the new rugby season is less than two months away—indeed the 1
st & 2
nd XV squads (plus others) are off to Wales for a pre-season tour in August.
Attached is an information pack which we hope will whet your appetite for the challenge of the coming season. As well as enabling you to become a member you will find out how to obtain season tickets, take advantage of your membership to be able to apply for international tickets at Twickenham, sponsor a match/ball or even a player, join the fundraising venture of the 100 Club and why not join us on our golf day on August 8th. A new development this season is the introduction of a 10% discount on bar and catering products for all members on production of a valid membership card. Despite the need to watch our finances very carefully, the playing subscription has been maintained at last season’s level which we believe represents excellent value for money.
In these difficult economic times, raising sponsorship is becoming ever more difficult but the Sponsorship team of Simon Farrow, Dan Thomas, Holly Morgan and Anthony Williamson have been working tirelessly on behalf of the club and would love to hear from you with any introductions you feel may be interested in sponsoring the club. It is so much easier to talk to a ‘warm’ contact than having to contact people/firms ‘cold’. You can all help so please do not be shy in putting forward contacts who might be worth an approach. The Sponsorship team have a range of sponsorship opportunities that will cater for the more modest or the mega sponsor and a sample of what is available is included in this pack. We have good crowds for matches at Chapel Gate for our own games but we also entertain other matches such as County Championship and Bournemouth University games. So there is good exposure to a fitting audience.
Rugby at Bournemouth has been enjoying great success at all levels over the last couple of years and I am sure we can continue to prosper with your help and participation. Have a great season..
