Hi Verwood,

I am posting you from Kingfisher Beer with what I think will be a very interesting Sponsorship proposal for your club.

Let me start by telling you a little about Kingfisher:

• India’s No1 beer brand with a long standing and deep-rooted association with cricket.
• On a global level we were the official beer of the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017 and we sponsor six IPL teams.
• In the UK, we are the official beer of Sussex CCC, Middlesex CCC and Lashings. We also have ongoing partnerships with Wisden, Cricket Scotland, Gray Nicolls and the MCC Foundation.

We are currently looking to further build our relationship with cricket by sponsoring a number of amateur cricket clubs like yours.

How could our partnership work?

• Kingfisher has significant funds to invest in your club.
• In return we would look for some branding in, or around, your ground plus Kingfisher being sold on draught in your clubhouse.
• We would be happy to enter into a 3-year deal and the agreement would be underpinned by how much beer we can sell in the clubhouse. The more beer you can sell; the more investment you can access!

My contact details are :

[email protected]

07421 459 339

Let me know if this would be something of interest to you.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Happy 50th year in the club Richard Pearson.
