ATLANTIC DASH
In December 2011, two firefighters from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service will embark on the incredible Atlantic Dash challenge. Firefighters from Cardiff Fire Stations, John Haskell and Jamie Windsor, will attempt to row over 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to raise money for several charities. The expedition will start on December 4th with the team launching their boat from the island of La Gomera in the Canary Islands. John and Jamie are expected to cross the Atlantic Ocean in approximately three months, reaching Barbados in February 2012. This extraordinary challenge will raise a lot of money for some very
worthwhile charities. However, the team desperately needs your support to have any chance of completing this gruelling task, so they are currently seeking financial sponsors. "It will give you a taste of the fantastic enthusiasm and passion of the team members, John and Jamie, as well as the incredible and highly attractive 'Atlantic Dash'
sponsorship opportunities available. The team have been featured on national news and have a promotional pack and promotional video on YouTube - please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9orHlL5Q0bM. We hope you will be able to help support John and Jamie to enable them to take part in this punishing but incredible challenge by becoming an 'Atlantic Dash' team sponsor and help them achieve their aim of raising over £100,000 for charity. We look forward to hearing from you soon". Contact: Jamie Windsor. Address: Whitchurch Fire Station, Heol Y Nant, Whitchurch CF14 6BS. Tel.: 07831 455605. E-mail: team@atlanticdash.co.uk

CARDIFF MASTERS - WELSH CAPITAL MASTERS SWIM MEET
In May 2008, the Welsh Capital Masters moved into its new home in the new state-of-the-art facilities at Cardiff International Swimming Pool. The club is very proud to have been the first national gala to be held in these new facilities. In previous years the Welsh Capital Masters had been a short course event, but still attracted swimmers from outside of the UK, including competitors from the USA and Australia. With the move to a long course event at one of the UK's top sporting facilities, the profile of the event can only grow. For sponsors, this is an opportunity to link their brand to • one of the biggest Masters swimming clubs in Wales, Cardiff Masters • a high profile swim meet on the British Amateur Swimming Association calendar. Promotional opportunities include advertising space within the gala programme; space for the sponsor's brand in the pool facilities on the day itself (either banners or display boards); the sponsor's brand on the Cardiff Masters and Welsh Capital Masters website; the sponsor's brand on any merchandise associated with the event; the sponsor's brand on the ribbons for the individual event medals. Exclusive sponsorship opportunities exist to sponsor the Club and Age Group awards. Sponsors should contact Martin Neal, chair of Cardiff Masters Swimming Club at martinjneal@btinternet.com or the gala committee at gala@cardiffmasters.co.uk to discuss associating their brand with the annual Welsh Capital Masters and other events. Contact: Martin Neal, Club Chairman. Address: 39 Pomeroy Street, Cardiff CF10 5GS. Tel.: 07817 185408.

CIRCUMNAVIGATION RECORD 2011
The Global Circumnavigation Challenge is a bid by British ocean adventurer Alan Priddy and an experienced crew of six to break the current much coveted UIM world record in the fastest and most efficient wave-piercing powerboat to circumnavigate the globe.

"We are currently looking for further partners and sponsors at all levels. Links to our website and Facebook page where you can read full details of the voyage, crew, media exposure and benefits to your brand can be found below. We are always open to further suggestions and negotiation, so please feel free to ask any questions or tell us what you would need from our expedition.

DUNCAN SMALL - CLIPPER YACHT CHALLENGE
Duncan Small has been selected to participate in the 2011-2012 Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. In order to take part in this unique challenge, he is looking for a sponsor to cover his race costs. The Clipper Challenge involves ten identical stripped out 68 foot racing yachts, crewed by amateur yachtsmen and women under the guidance of a professional skipper. The race covers approximately 39,000 miles around the world, over fifteeen legs, and visits thirteen countries. It is a truly global event that generates massive interest wherever the yachts visit. To take part, Duncan is looking for a sponsor (or sponsors) to cover his race costs. "So what can I offer in return? Participation in this event requires mental and physical toughness and, above all, a desire to succeed. On my return, I will be able to pass on my experiences to others and to demonstrate that anyone can achieve what they want, whether that be in play or in the work place. In addition, in the build up to the race, during the race and after the race, I can provide regular updates on progress that can feed into any corporate marketing programme. Finally, wherever possible and subject to any restrictions placed on me by the race organisers, I would be more than happy to host any corporate guests, whether they be from the sponsoring company or their clients - whenever and in which ever ports of call the fleet makes. This event is unique and is global. It brings together individuals from all over the world and provides the opportunity to make new contacts on an international scale. I am more than happy to discuss further in detail. For further details on the event, please log into the Clipper website at www.clipperroundtheworld.com/". Contact: Duncan Small.

GEOFF HOLT ATLANTIC CHALLENGE
The opportunity exists to sponsor record breaking disabled yachtsman Geoff Holt to become the first disabled yachtsman to sail the Atlantic Ocean single-handed. Geoff Holt has already acquired the specialist yacht, the only 60 foot wheelchair-accessible yacht in the world. Sponsorship funds are needed just to cover administrative costs. In return the yacht has two sixty foot white hulls and several thousand square metres of sail, just crying out for a sponsor's logo. Already a proven commodity, in 2007 Geoff Holt became the first disabled yachtsman to sail single handed around Great Britain. Paralysed from the chest down, he sailed his 15 foot trimaran dinghy 1,500 miles to fifty-one destinations in a Challenge that took 109 days to complete. On his return, he wrote a best-selling autobiography, Walking on Water. Now he is attempting the "big one" and with a guaranteed 30 minute documentary and a launch planned with HRH Princess Anne and Dame Ellen MacArthur, DBE, this project offers the title sponsor a unique and highly "PR friendly" marketing opportunity for a modest cost. Contact: Geoff Holt. Address: Ty Melyn, St Anne's Lane, Shedfield SO32 2HR. Tel.: 01329 835151. E-mail: geoff@geoffholt.com.

HANNAH RICHARDS
Hannah Richards - 1 circumnavigation, 10 ocean racing yachts, 40,000 miles, 15 races, 13 countries ... sounds like a challenge! Hannah has been lucky enough to secure a crew place on the Clipper 2011-2012 Yacht Race. She has always loved sailing and it has been a dream of hers to sail around the globe, experiencing the thrills and challenges associated with ocean racing. Hannah needs your help to make this dream a reality. • The benefits of getting involved? - it's all about perception and association. 1. Exposure - thanks to global communications and technology, the 2011-12 Clipper race will have an audience of over 300 million people in more than 200 countries, with extensive, international coverage in every form of media. 2.

Promoting a positive lifestyle - sailing in extreme conditions is incredibly physically and mentally challenging; association with a competitor in this event shows support for a healthy attitude towards getting the most out of life. In short, it's the ideal sport and the ideal event with which to associate your image, branding, products and services as part of a promotional campaign that will repay investment many times over.
• What Hannah can do for you: 1. Speaking at events - Hannah would love to come and talk to you and your company about the challenges she is likely to be facing and experiences gained in training so far - she has already learned an incredible amount about team working, leadership and quick thinking under pressure. As part of her job she is experienced in giving high quality presentations to large groups of people in a professional context. 2. Written materials - Hannah will send you regular updates and written articles on her progress towards the event. 3. Invitations to events - Hannah would be pleased to invite you to any events she holds to raise money towards this. With advance notice she may also be able to arrange for you to meet the team and tour the 68ft racing yachts. 4. Promotion - Hannah would be keen to promote your company and the support you have given her in the following ways: space and links on her website; wearing clothing branded with your logo (including during the race itself); recognition in media coverage up to and including the event. "Please get in touch if you are interested in being part of Hannah's team and making this amazing opportunity possible for her. Please feel free to contact Hannah if you would like to discuss this further". Contact: Hannah Richards. Address: 17c Talgarth Road, London W14 9DB. Tel.: 07976091481.

THE LC
Europe's most exciting indoor surfing experience is now available for sponsorship. The Boardrider, which is the first of its kind in Europe, is owned and operated by South Wales' premier leisure complex, the LC, which is located in Swansea at the gateway to the Gower Peninsula, one of the UK's premier surfing destinations. The Edge, which is the LC's waterpark where the Boadrider is situated, attracted 267,000 visitors last year alone. The LC was opened in style by Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in 2008. The last few years have been extremely successful for the LC, with the complex picking up a host of awards for its services and offerings, as well as being named "Wales' Most Visited Paid for Attraction" by tourism body Visit Wales for two years running. The Boardrider provides perfect waves for both boogie boarding and stand up surfing, with a number of different speed settings to cater for all abilities. It is the first surf machine to work on a 'deep water' basis, as opposed to simply shooting shallow water across the surface. Waves are created by four pumps projecting water towards the surfboard at three different levels of speed - beginner, intermediate and pro. Air is then pumped into an adjustable 'hump' underneath the board, which increases the size of the wave according to individual ability. In addition to becoming an integral part of the indoor surfing revolution that is currently sweeping the UK, not to mention the rest of the world, further Boardrider sponsor benefits include • re-branding of the Boardrider to include company name • visual branding of the Boardrider's surrounding area and viewing platform • option to add physical structures into surrounding area and viewing platform (eg deckchairs, beach scene, etc.) • point of sale • total control of sound system unique to the Boardrider area. More information, pictures and videos of the LC and the Boardrider are available on the LC website. Contact: Lauren Allchurch, Account Manager. Address: MGB PR, 2 Princess Way, Swansea SA1 3LW.

NORFOLK FISHING TRIPS AND CHARTER
Norfolk Fishing Trips & Charter are currently seeking sponsors looking to invest in a high profile part of the leisure industry. The company's customers can enjoy the sheer exhilaration of powering across the water, exploring the beautiful North Norfolk coastline, excellent offshore fishing or just lazing around sunbathing on deck. Norfolk Fishing Trips & Charter is based in Thornham. Set between Brancaster and Hunstanton on the North Norfolk coast, Thornham offers superb accommodation in holiday cottages and historic inns. The area is rich in wildlife and there are many unspoilt beaches that rate among the best in the UK. Trips normally depart from nearby Brancaster Staithe harbour. The company has commissioned the building of a brand new catamaran that combines superb performance, sleek lines and luxurious interior with unsurpassed levels of stability, comfort and speed for boats in her class. She will be as much as forty times more stable than mono-hulled vessels making her safe and enjoyable for all. The boat will be a prominent feature in sailing and fishing magazines and, say the owners, will get the sponsor's company noticed in harbours and marinas. During the summer months she will sail from North Norfolk's busiest yet exclusive harbour at Brancaster Staithe, and, in the winter months, from the marina of the Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club in Lowestoft. A 12m vessel with a maximum speed of 35 knots, the new boat will be able to carry up to ten passengers in comfort with their own fishing stations. The vessel, which carries the latest sonar and fish-finding equipment, will benefit from a 150 mile Code of Practice (MCA) certificate. The principal sponsors will have their name and logo displayed prominently on the exterior of the boat, which will be appearing at the Southampton Boat Show for five years. The costs of this five year appearance are being sponsored by Gemini work boats. The principal sponsorship, suggest the owners, would suit large corporate organisations wishing to promote or maintain a high-class image to the affluent outdoor type, in particular, the sailing community. Sponsorship need not necessarily be financial, as the company is looking for equipment, mechanical machinery and electronics suppliers to take part, perhaps by showcasing products on board. They are also seeking sponsors for their onboard fishing tackle shop. They expect sponsors for this venture to come from the fishing tackle industry, outdoor clothing suppliers and the like. However, they would consider a business relationship with organisations from any sector that would bring mutual benefit. Contact: Adam Wright. Address: Norfolk Fishing Trips & Charter, 9 Green Lane, Thornham, Norfolk PE36 6NG. Tel.: 01485 512474. Mobile: 07787 557357. E-mail: info@norfolkfishingtrips.co.uk.

PHOENIX FUTURES
Support the Voyage of Recovery ... Phoenix Futures, a charity providing services for people with drug and alcohol problems, and the Tectona Trust, a charity dedicated to improving access to the world of sailing, are planning a very special project and would welcome sponsors' support. "From 1st August, 2012, we will be giving the opportunity to 160 Phoenix Future's service users to sail the beautiful Gaff Ketch Tectona sail boat 1,800 miles in eleven legs around the coastal waters of Britain. Sailing the Tectona is hard, physical work, involving teamwork and a commitment to learning new skills. The service users would be involved in every aspect of running the ship, day and night. Professional crew provided by Cremyll Sailing (a sail training charity) will ensure safety, teach techniques and encourage service users to reflect on their experiences on a daily basis. The objective of this innovative project is to give those that are currently engaged in intensive drug and alcohol rehabilitative treatment - and have already demonstrated a strong commitment to their goal of recovery - a goal to aim towards, and offer an alternative form of therapy which will enhance their treatment. The adventure begins on 1st August, 2012 and we need your help and support to make sure it will happen. • What's the benefit of this project?Sail training is proven to increase the individual's self-esteem and confidence; it also provides an arena for service users to gain awareness of one another and to learn how to work as a team to achieve a common goal. Each service user would also obtain a RYA competent crew certificate which is a recognised qualification and a great starting point for anyone thinking about a career in sailing. We believe that it is important to find new and adventurous approaches towards therapy and recovery from addiction. This project will open up the world of sail training, and the benefits that come with it, to many people who wouldn't normally have such an opportunity. We believe this sailing experience will be something that is remembered for life by the participants. In addition we will aim to inspire those people not in treatment to see the change they could make in their own lives. • An educational opportunity: Plymouth University are currently researching with the Tectona Trust the benefits of sail training and the effects it has on people's behaviour after they have experienced both the serenity of the sea and the diverse challenges faced at whilst at sea. To date the evidence suggests that it is certainly positive. Sail training has a very similar benefit to other projects that Phoenix Futures run nationally. In order for people to recover they need some time out to reflect, to do something that is good for their self-confidence, great for their self-worth and for building a new self-belief. This voyage will provide another valuable opportunity for Plymouth University and the Tectona Trust to understand better the positive impact of sail training". "I went on a sail training trip with my service last year and now work as a volunteer on the same boat; it's been life changing in more ways than anyone could imagine" - Darren Long, Former Phoenix Futures Service User.

V24 POWERBOATS
V24 is changing the face of offshore powerboating. As one design class, no alterations can be made to the stylish V24 race boat nor its 5.7l standard Volvo production engine. This new class has been designed to ensure that the best team wins and not the one with the biggest budget. The boats look superb, sound fantastic and produce superb racing. The courses are close to the shore and complete with chicanes and tight turns to test driver skill and provide thrilling action. The organisation is now looking for a major sponsor to maximise the potential of the V24 series. The V24s have the 'wow' factor. Sponsorship can take the form of series sponsor, event sponsor, boat sponsor or utilising V24 for the sponsor's own corporate hospitality days. New V24s cost from £36,000 plus VAT, tow behind the family car and a season's racing will cost around £6,000 per team - a relatively inexpensive entry to powerboat racing.

WILL JACKSON RACING
Will Jackson Racing offers a chance for a sponsor to get on board and be part of the future of British yachting. "With your help and support, I am hoping to compete in some of the toughest, most extreme races the yachting world has to offer. Your brand will go all around Europe and North America and eventually the world, being associated with backing young British talent and the future of the sport in Britain. Your brand will also benefit from being in a class which is growing in both fleet size and media coverage year on year, due to its low cost and spectacular performance. Your involvement with the sport will also demonstrate a responsible view on ecological issues like sustainable resources and non eco-damaging sport. The plan is to do the Atlantic Ocean Racing Series on a Class 40 racing yacht. This is an eight race series starting in the Caribbean and ending in the Mediterranean. It is made up of a number of short races up the east coast of America, a transatlantic race and some shorter offshore races around Europe. High profile races involved include • The Caribbean 600 • The Fastnet • the Middle Sea Race.
I would like to compete in this series as well as doing any other events which can be fitted in such as • Cowes Week • other RORC races. This would be in addition to making time to do any sponsor-related hospitality and corporate events. Other events and opportunities are available - so don't hesitate to get in touch". Contact: Will Jackson. Address: 5 Langdale Avenue, Chichester, West Sussex PO19 8JQ. Tel.: 0044 7896 314447. E-mail: will@willjacksonracing.co.uk

EUROPEAN FEDERATION OF SEA ANGLERS
The EFSA was formed in 1961 by a group of international anglers who were taking part in a fishing festival being held out of Looe in England. Within three months of its formation, no less than sixteen countries were represented in the federation, either by formation of member sections or by the affiliation of existing clubs. In 1962, the federation joined the International Game Fish Association and has been in membership continuously since that date. One of the functions of the federation is to stage the European Sea Angling Championships. These championships have been held annually since 1962 and are held in a different country each year. Host countries have included Gibraltar, Scotland, Iceland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, England, Holland and Wales. In addition to the European Championships, a European Tope Festival and a European Cod Festival are held each year, with the more recent addition of the European Game Championships and Shore Championships. A range of sponsorship opportunities is available. Contact: David Proudfoot, Chair Organising Committee. Address: 3 Bardnaclavan Place, Janetstown, Thurso KW14 7XG. Tel.: 01847 895810.

RICHARD WALSH
Richard Walsh has been a rowing coach for thirty years. He has coached Scottish, British, Commonwealth Games and World Champion rowers. He was Rowing Team manager for the Scottish Commonwealth Games team. He is now coaching an individual rower who needs sponsorship to cover the costs of his boat, oars and transport. "This individual has the potential to go to World and Olympic level based on my assessments so far. The athlete is currently using borrowed equipment which is of the wrong size and age. If his equipment could be funded then it would be used by this individual and any other subsequent athletes I coach. Advertising could be offered by using the boat cover to carry logos, company names, etc. The new boat and oars will cost around £7,000". Contact: Richard Walsh.

OCEAN YOUTH TRUST SOUTH
Ocean Youth Trust South is a registered educational charity (no. 1079959) which offers adventure sail training to young people aged 12-25 on board the 72-foot yacht John Laing. The organisation gives young crew members the chance to overcome personal challenges and achieve things they would never have believed themselves capable of doing. They would like to hear from sponsors who are interested in being associated with their work in one of three ways: 1. Major sponsors are sought to help replace John Laing with an exciting modern vessel that should set the standard for sail training yachts for years to come. Naming rights and other sponsorship benefits are available - there is a £1.4 million appeal. 2. Sponsorship is also sought in connection with the vessel's maintenance and refit (there is an annual £60,000 appeal). 3. Bursary funding for deserving and disadvantaged young people who cannot otherwise afford to sail is also sought. Costs are as follows: £325 per person for a five night voyage; £3,900 for a full group of twelve young people. The charity is seeking support currently for groups including siblings of life-limited children in local hospices; for a Portsmouth-based teenage sea shanty group to sail to a festival and perform there; for young carers, homeless teenagers and victims of bullying or abuse; and also for people with physical or learning difficulties.

SALAMIS AFLOAT
Salamis is a 20-foot family classic sports cruising boat, built in 1987. She is white with a blue band around her hull and is the last known boat made by the Cheetah boat building company of Southampton. She is well loved by the family which owns her, who regularly cruise to marinas on the south coast, mainly in the Brighton, Littlehampton and Chichester areas. With a new trailer the owners would be able to trail her to marinas further afield. Keeping a little known classic cruiser afloat is now costing around £2,000 to £3,000 a year in mooring fees and maintenance, which has become a difficult cost for the owners to meet with a young teenage family dependent on their income. So they would like to offer the hull and superstucture of Salamis for advertising banners, in exchange for the cost of her upkeep. Contact: Salamis. E-mail: robbie.lewis@btinternet.com.
