[Mapleford Athletic]

As the title suggests we are a recently formed 11-a-side team comprised of a group of friends/colleagues who have came from various other teams to play together. Although we are considerably well organised in most areas, we are finding some difficulty by way of funding.

The team is called Mapleford Athletic. We are set to play in the Sceptre League Division 9 next season, this is no reflection at all on the teams ability merely because we are a new side. We would be looking to move yup divisions straight away and we are told by league officials that should it show that we are clearly not in a high enough division (ie Point and Goal difference) we could get bumped up a few more divisions.

What we would be looking for is sponsorship which would aide us in the runnin of the team in ways such as:
- The purchase of training / match equipment
- Subsidising of pitch rental
- Contribution to the teams end of season presentation

In return we will:
- Print your company name on the team kits
- Post your company name on the club website
- If requested send you regular updates on the teams progress throughout the season

The reason we are looking for sponsorship is because although all players currently associated with the club are more than happy to dip into their pockets to get things up and running, we would like to keep what each contributes to an amount within reason. As you caqn imagine it is our first season together so costs are a little higher than those once we are established and any contribution would be greatly welcomed by all of us involved.

I dont want to put a negative into the equation but, in the unlikely event the team should fold between now and the end of the season we would endeavour to re-emberse any sponsor as much of if not all of the money they contributed.

Please contact me either through Gumtree or the email displayed if you are interested.

Many thanks,

John King
Club Secretary (Although I like to refer to myself as Director of Football haha)
