The club is very proud to have been the first national gala to be held in these new facilities.

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.

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.

| SWT/PL006 |  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.

Hannah needs your help to make this dream a reality. • The benefits of getting involved? - it's all about perception and association. 1.

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.

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.

| SWT/PL011 |  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.

| SWT/PL013 |  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. The V24 series is new and flexible. The organisation will build a series to meet your marketing requirements, its aim being to find a sponsorship partner with as much enthusiasm as they have to fully utilise the potential of the V24 series.

BRITISH BLIND SAILING RACING ASSOCIATION |
Blind Sailing is a charity set up to enable all visually impaired sailors to get out on the water. The charity tries to cater for all - from the young to the old, from the beginner to the experienced racer. It also provides advice to those who have recently lost their sight or to clubs with visually impaired sailors looking to join. The charity also supports the British Blind Sailing Team, helping to fund their attendance at events and to hold their own events. To date the team has had great success, becoming World Champions twice. Later this year, in Rhode Island, USA, the British Blind Sailing Team are looking to defend the World Champion title they achieved in Italy. However, they need the help of sponsors to be able to send the three teams of different sight categories, two sighted and two visually impaired on each team, to the USA. Currently the team are funding their own training and also work hard to raise the money for the events in which they compete. Through hard training they have developed strong communication and show tremendous commitment to their sailing. The team will be delighted to take part in photo opportunities with sponsors and will happily wear a uniform bearing the sponsor's logo. They will promote the sponsor's company as best they can whilst competing in the World Championships during 2006. Hopefully this brief information has given potentail sponsors an insight into what the team hopes to achieve. More information is available via the contact shown or from the charity's website. "If you can see some way how your company may assist us with the funding we need to be able to send a competitive team to the next World Championships this would be greatly appreciated".

This is a part of an ongoing programme of sailing development for Guides and Scouts in Cheshire. It has a potential of 500 to 1,000 users throughout a normal season, rising to 2,000 when supporting Cheshire Scouts International Jamboree (every four years). In order to achieve their first goal they need to raise at least another £10,000. Any sponsors who donate £1,000 plus will be able to display their logo on one of the sailing dinghies. Contact: Libby Mooney, County Boating Adviser. Address: 16 Tatton Street, Knusford, Cheshire WA16 6AF. E-mail: libby.mooney@ntlworld.com. Ongoing |

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. Adult sailing, corporate days, client days and marketing opportunities are also available to sponsors. Contact: Caroline White. Address: Ocean Youth Trust, PO Box 203, Gosport, Hampshire PO12 9AZ.

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.
