DYNAMO GIRLS FOOTBALL CLUB
Dynamo Girls Football Club, based in Telscombe Cliffs, East Sussex, was founded in 2003 by Ruth Watson, who had run up against the trouble of having her daughter not being able to play in a boys' team when she reached a certain age. So Dynamos was formed - and since the early days when only a few girls turned up, the club now has around sixty girls across four age groups - u10, u11,u12,u13. The club is moving forward and has many plans for development, including facilities for a club house and changing rooms, etc. So the Dynamos are looking for sponsorship support. In the main this would be for supplying the girls with their own kit. At present they have a Nike kit, but this is being withdrawn by Nike at the end of the season. The club would like the girls to turn out in a kit they can be proud of, with a company logo, etc. and so are looking for sponsorship of £250-£350 for team kit/training kit in return for the inclusion of the sponsoring business's name on the team's shirts, their company name on the club's website, invitations to events, a photo of the team in the kit for the sponsor's offices and promotion of the sponsor's company at tournaments, events, etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

LINCOLNSHIRE SOCCER SCHOOL
Lincolnshire Soccer School was first established in 1998 by an ex-professional footballer called Tommy Watson. The school was founded to bring football training to boys and girls in the Lincolnshire area. Today the school has become one of only a handful of football schools that have achieved Football Association Chartered Standard Community Club status. It has produced over sixteen football teams of all ages, from under 8s to an adult side who at the time of writing are third in the Central Midlands League and battling for promotion. The football school is also trying to develop its own football clubhouse, as well as its own pitches - and is now looking for a whole sponsorship deal to promote this. It is estimated that this would require a sponsorship deal of £15,000. The school also takes pride in providing F.A. Qualified Coaches, who visit all local schools to bring football into the community, letting schoolchildren of all ages enjoy an after school activity, assisting with confidence and attitude. It's clear that the organisation has so far managed to develop into a very successful football school and club, with football teams playing in several different leagues in the Lincolnshire and Midlands area. However, for the school and club to continue to grow, it needs some help. Contact: Stuart Catmull. Address: 34 Asgard Way, Scartho Top, Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire DN33 3RJ. Tel.: 01472 232590.

SPORT LOCAL
SPORT LOCAL is a SEE IT LOCAL initiative. The organisation is creating an online magazine supporting 'local' sports clubs and suppliers throughout the UK offering free links to all clubs, organisations and suppliers. Each month will see a feature in each sector offering a unique insight into the selected club. SPORT LOCAL is looking for sponsors who would be interested in backing either individual sports or events across a wide sphere. The opportunity to brand the sponsor positively opens many doors and will allow SPORT LOCAL to benefit small, medium and large clubs across the country. "Sponsoring the sports pages is a proven cost effective and highly visible strategic marketing tool", say SPORT LOCAL. "It is one of the most powerful ways to reinforce your corporate image allowing you to promote your company's name, logo, products or services to a wide but targeted audience, whilst strengthening your links with the community. Many businesses use the online presence of links and email newsletters and promotions to their advantage in the modern e-world in which we operate. Don't overlook sport as a potential partner in delivering good community links as clubs of all sizes and disciplines across the UK are developing creative, high quality and mutually beneficial partnerships with the private sector. Sponsorship provides much needed finance to help get exciting new projects off the ground and sustain established enterprises. Working with SPORT LOCAL within the community in which your business operates will enable us to promote your brand at the grass roots of local sport". Contact: Keith Tunnicliffe.
