M.R.F.C. Annual General Meeting Monday 5/7/10 - 7.15pm

Hi all - The Club A.G.M. will take place on Monday 5th july, 7.15 for 7.30 start. Please make every effort to attend, and can you pass the invitation to all.

Last year we lost a large number of sponsors , the club needs your help . You can advertise for as little as £25.00 plus Vat upwards in the membership book, fixture list, Jimmy Cracker 7's and match day programmes. We will put up match day banners, balls can be sponsored or games with hospitality provided arterwards at the club. Larger corporate deals are also available, together with packages for international tickets. If each side could find 2 new sponsors for the main club funds (aswell as its junior team) this would be a great help.

Please can you talk to all your contacts and ask them to contact me for more details.

Thanks,

Robin Bonham (Junior Chairman) tel:- 01792 405169
