Sponsorship
Introduction
London Welsh amateur sections are the first in rugby history to be given CASC status. Being a rec-ognised Community Amateur Sports Club ensures that it does not suffer the same rates and taxes as businesses. This ensures more money will stay in sport and will go towards ensuring the amateur play-ing membership of London Welsh RFC continue their enjoyment of the facilities at Old Deer Park.
The CASC currently has 500 members, with the majority being made up of the mini and youth sec-tions, with three senior mens teams and one womens team making up the rest of the membership. It cov-ers all age groups, male and female at all standards. Membership is open to anyone who wants to play rugby in a London Welsh shirt.
Sponsors will have access to the CASC members database. The 500 members make up a broad demo-graphic from ages 5 to 50, male and female. There is also a wide range of professions from lawyers and accountants, teachers and students to builders and librarians. Your company could benefit from raising brand awareness, generate consumer preference and foster brand loyalty.
The CASC has close ties with London Welsh Ltd and their supporters club. Any CASC sponsors will get exposure to both sections including advertising in the first team match day programs for all home games, which have an average attendance of 2000, and advertising in the quarterly supporters club newsletter, which is circulated to all London Welsh Ltd and CASC members, approximately 1000 in total. The newly launched CASC website, which will display sponsors banners, is accessed by all CASC sections and their supporters.
Our packages aim to create maximum media expo-sure and public coverage to our sponsors. They are flexible and can be tailor made to suit your individ-ual needs.
