| CO/PL002 |  LASHINGS WORLD XI Lashings World XI has developed an unrivalled reputation as the world's leading provider of truly legendary, crowd drawing and entertaining cricket, since the celebrated signing of West Indian captain Richie Richardson in 1994. Sir Viv Richards, Shane Warne, Sachin Tendulkar, Shoaib Akhtar and Brian Lara have all represented the club, which continues to attract the true legends and current superstars of the game to its colours. During the domestic season, Lashings takes its World XI to venues throughout the UK and now, through its programme of overseas tours, around the globe, delivering the ultimate corporate entertainment and sponsored cricket experience. Lashings' key attraction continues to be their unique blend of crickets legends with current superstars of the game. A multi-cultural and multi-national squad, their illustrious names are drawn from talent from across the cricketing world. In 2006/7 new signings included England's Phil DeFreitas and Chris Lewis, 23 year old former Zimbabwean captain Tatenda Taibu, Sri Lanka's Aravinda de Silva and Russel Arnold, India's Agit Agarkar, South Africa's Nantie Hayward, West Indian Phil Simmons plus former Ashes winning England captain, Clare Connor, making her the first female international cricket star to play alongside the men in what was previous an all male line up. Lashings' worldwide fame was confirmed in the summer of 2006, thanks to the signing of Sachin Tendulkar, arguably the world's greatest living batsman. Huge crowds travelled from all over the UK to watch India's national hero perform in five very special guest appearances for the club. Major companies now see the value of the Lashings brand, not just in terms of profile, but also in helping to achieve the objective of bringing cricket to many people in society that would otherwise not have the opportunity to see world class cricketers in action and talk to them about the game. The list of sponsors now includes Lombard, Cockspur, Quicksilver, Williams De Broe, Half Moon, NatWest and Surridge. The Lashings players are true ambassadors of cricket, whilst also promoting good manners, politeness, decency and respect. The team has a variety of players from different ethnic backgrounds and off the pitch, Lashings attend many community events and festivals supporting poor and disadvantaged communities, ethnic minorities, disadvantaged and disabled children, business communities, small rural cricket clubs and a whole host of charities at home and abroad. Wherever Lashings go, the players always hold free (but priceless) coaching sessions with young people, either at the ground before the game or in local schools, colleges or universities. It is Lashings' desire to become recognised sports ambassadors, supporting the work of the UK government and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in a range of activities that will help deliver their objectives to promote both cricket and social values. With the team's twenty-fifth anniversary coming up in 2009, arrangements are being made to plan a tour of Jamaica, India, Australia, South Africa and possibly America and a follow up tour in Abu Dhabi (2008-2009). "We are seeking additional sponsorship partners who see the potential in promoting their brand and in the development of cricket and charity work. Lashings is a potential Harlem Globetrotters of cricket and has developed a range of flexible sponsorship packages to suit potential sponsors' needs". Contact: David Folb and Simon Teague.

| CO/0001 | GREAT SCOTTISH WALKS The Great Scottish Walks is now entering its eleventh year. Simultaneously supporting healthy living, these annual events offer the public the opportunity to be actively involved in beneficial health activities, community events and charitable fundraising, regardless of fitness and physical ability. Inclusivity is one of the keys to the event's continued success, promoted to all sections of the community, particularly encouraging groups, teams and families to walk. Originally, the Edinburgh event attracted approximately 2,000 walkers in aid of two charities. Now over 5,000 walkers of all ages participate, raising in excess of £1,000,000 for over 200 charities and leading to the launch of a Glasgow Great Walk in 2008. Introduced in 2004, the Great Wee Scottish Walks are locally focused events aimed at a younger audience and geographically placed to compliment the national walks. This year has seen an expansion of the number and activities of the Wee Walks, bringing the grand total to eight. Designed to engage children up to sixteen years old - an extension of the usual age limit of eleven years - the eight walks actively encourage young people to participate in physical activities, working to eliminate childhood obesity and other health problems, as well as promoting healthy living as a whole. Through sponsorship of the Great Scottish Walks and Great Wee Scottish Walks, an exciting opportunity is presented to promote the sponsor's company to a range of demographics, at ten walking events across Scotland. Those present will include a number of UK charities, fundraisers of all ages, physical ability and fitness levels, as well as local and national media. "We have a range of sponsorship opportunities to suit all budgets, including general sponsorship opportunities, trophy sponsorship, company mascots, etc. - and are happy to discuss and develop a package best suited to you".

| CO/0002 | IRIS THEATRE Iris Theatre is a new theatre company born out of the experience and energy of several Central Saint Martins (Drama Centre) theatre graduates, both recent and more senior. The company's first professional production, in March 2007, will be Murder in the Cathedral by T.S. Eliot. They intend to combine music and theatre into an electric evening of entertainment. The company has already secured the dramatic and central location of St. Pauls Church, Covent Garden, a Grade I listed Inigo Jones-designed building of national significance. St Pauls is experienced in presenting a wide variety of differing performances, from charity galas to lunchtime concerts - and everything between. Iris Theatre have provisionally booked in for the two weeks from March 19th to March 31st, 2007. The group needs to raise a total of around £6,000 in sponsorship to make this two-week project economically viable and is looking for around £1,000 sponsorship from each of its partners. Of course any support, large or small, would be welcomed. They have already had a sizeable donation from the Worshipful Company of Mercers. All partners in the production would benefit from displays on all publicity materials, including • having their logo prominently positioned on two 2m by 1.5m banners attached to the outside of St. Pauls, Covent Garden; "the footfall through Covent Garden past this location must be in the hundreds of thousands and the banners will be in place for almost all of March to advertise the production" • having their logo prominently placed on all advertisements in the local London press • having their logo on all flyers (10,000+) and posters - "these flyers will be handed out in Covent Garden throughout March. We also intend to target the congregations of the Catholic and Anglican Churches in London" • having their name and logo on all email and online promotions - "we hope to persuade many city organisations to allow us to contact their staff and members" • having their logo prominently displayed on the company's new website • having their logo on all programmes. As a partner each sponsor would also be eligible for a large number of complimentary tickets for the show. Finally, it should be noted that a significant percentage of sponsors' money will go directly to supporting St Pauls, Covent Garden. "This church is an invaluable asset in the spiritual and cultural life of the whole of London and its outreach is truly global thanks to its central location". Contact: Daniel Winder.

| CO/0003 | THE KATE KENNEDY CLUB The Kate Kennedy Club exists to preserve the Kate Kennedy Annual Procession and has three aims: 1. Maintaining the traditions of the University and town of St. Andrews; 2. Upholding and improving Town and Gown relations; and 3. Raising money for local charities. The Kate Kennedy Procession is the Club's main event and the one around which the Club was founded. Each year both Town and Gown assemble to form a crowd of some 15,000 people on the streets of St. Andrews to celebrate the lives and contributions of some of the great men and women of the town and university. The procession has a long history but its organisation by the Kate Kennedy Club has ensured that it is a great tradition in the life of the town, a special day for town and gown alike. The Kate Kennedy Club Charity May Ball is the biggest ball in Scotland and is the main social event of the University calendar. The ball claims to offer exceptionally good value compared to many balls both within and outside St. Andrews, through sponsorship and careful spending. The ball is held in luxury marquees in the beautiful surroundings of Craigtoun Park, more than 2000 undergraduates enjoying free drinks, food, fairground attractions and live bands. Those who want a little more can enjoy the unique Gold and Platinum experiences which boast helicopter rides over St Andrews, limousines to the park and an exclusive champagne reception. The Charity Opening Ball is the first social event of the academic year, and aims to bring the members of the University together. Hosted on Lower College Lawn in luxury marquees, guests are received with a champagne reception and piper, making this a splendid way to begin a university career. The Kate Kennedy Club Jazz Night, held in November, is one of the Club's most popular events, entertaining over 250 people with bands playing jazz and blues in a sophisticated ballroom setting. Some of the top professional jazz bands play to a packed dance floor. Contact: Julian Kaye, Head of Sponsorship. Address: Porters Lodge Mailing Room, College Gate, St. Andrews, Fife KY16 9AJ.

| CO/0007 | THE WILL SITE The Will Site aims to raise funds for charities by promoting legacies via an online will-making service. Charities can refer supporters to the site where the charity's details are prompted as the will is being made. Top charities are involved, say the organisers, but point out that is an opportunity for an association with a whole range of charities. On average legacies are worth £16,000, and as legacies are pledged, the sponsor can be associated with a large and growing sum raised. The two year target is £50m including legacies pledged to charity. Clients are wealthy and charitable, and a sponsorship arrangement could involve referral of clients including financial information where this can be arranged. For legal firms there is the opportunity of acting as executor. One such sponsor is providing 1000 'free wills' via the site. Contact: John Ranford. Address: 82 Durban Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4EZ.
