Pages in the Programme at £20 (eg base of page:- Page sponsored by:- Dave Jones)

Advertising board around pitch squares in the programme £35 each

A novel idea this year to raise funds to help two hard working volunteer members of the club, Elaine Warden and Les Houghton, is to have both of these stalwarts on the same page as the players in recognition of their endeavors for Barrow AFC.

Both Elaine and Les have agreed to their inclusion in this fund raising venture. The money raised will be used to help pay for materials they require in carrying out their volunteer duties around the club.

The right to have your name as sponsor against one of these two great volunteers will be awarded to the two highest bidders, the highest becoming the Main/Home Sponsor. Bidding closes on the 10th August 2013.

Thank you in advance for your support with this new venture.

Many thanks from Les and I to everyone for your kind donations---we will be worth more than the players now.

[Richard Ingham]

we will be worth more than the players now.

You always were Elaine. The work you two do is far more valuable, because you do it for free.

[Richard Ingham]

Bump. This will now run until Tuesday giving anyone who hasn't seen this a chance to make a bid.

Remember we are looking for 2 bids each (home and then away) for both Elaine and Les.

The current leaders (as I understand from the previous threads, update me if I am wrong) and winning bids at the moment are:

Elaine (Home) Dalton Bluebird £100 (Away) Mark Webb £40

Les (Home) Stu, Capman, Elaine £70 (Away) No bids

Sid Blain has asked me to put in a bid on his behalf of £80 for Les

This sponsorship opportunity will close at midnight tonight Tuesday 13th August

As it stands the following are holding the Bids

Elaine (Home) Dalton Bluebird £100 (Away) Mark Webb £40

Les (Home) Sid Blain £80 (Away) Stu, Capman & Elaine £70

If you wish to bid for either home or away you only need to outbid the present bids of £100 or £40 in the case of Elaine and £80 or £70 in the case of Les.

Hopefully we can raise the bar a little further and make a little more thanks to these two excellent volunteers being willing to take part in this new fundraising idea.
