1 BRIGHTON & HOVE CRICKET CLUB SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES

2 WELCOME Dear Business Owner, On behalf of Brighton and Hove Cricket Club, I would like to offer you the opportunity this year to support our Club as a sponsor. We have a number of packages we are able to offer depending on the level of financial commitment that is suitable for your business. With more than 250 members Brighton & Hove Cricket Club, affectionally known as The Bensons, are the premier and largest amateur cricket club in Sussex across both adult and junior, men s and women s cricket. We are able to offer our teams extensive training opportunities throughout the winter months as well as during the summer season. We are proud that many of our up and coming men s and women s players are home grown as a result of our excellent junior training section which enables younger players to access high quality training and we nurture those who want to play for fun and develop those through Club and County pathways who want to play top level competitive cricket. As a Club we are only able to offer such a high level of cricket thanks to our excellent volunteers and our very generous sponsors. In return for your generosity, we will be promoting your business with brand-recognition in our annual handbook, on our advertising boards and through our social media platforms. Our promotional efforts will provide you with a great opportunity to increase recognition of your business in the local area. I sincerely hope that you will take this proposal into consideration as our Club depends greatly on the generous support of members of the local business community such as yourself. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your consideration and interest in our Club. I look forward to speaking with you.
