Birmingham Bulls RFC announces new sponsorship deal

Birmingham Bulls, an inclusive rugby team in Birmingham, is “always ready to welcome new players to join us at any time, regardless of experience, age or orientation”. It was founded in 2011 and competes in the Greater Birmingham Merit League, as well as playing friendly matches with other LGBTQ+ and inclusive rugby clubs across the country.

The club, which also hosts the annual Touch My Brum touch rugby tournament, and in 2023 will be hosting the Union Cup, was proud to reveal a new sponsorship deal for its 2021–22 season with one of the city’s longeststanding LGBTQ+ venues, the Village Inn.

Birmingham Bulls RFC stated: “We’re looking forward to work[ing] together over the coming season with lots of events in the pipeline, including our 10th anniversary celebrations. Sponsorship by one of the longest established LGBTQ+ venues in Birmingham will help keep us at the heart of the community we come from.”

The club added that the bar would feature on the team’s kit, and will be the home of the Bulls after matches, on nights out, and for its upcoming anniversary.

David Cumpston, club chair, said: "We are overjoyed to have the support from the Village, allowing us to remain in the centre of Birmingham’s LGBTQ+ community."

The Village Inn added: “We are absolutely delighted to be the official team sponsors of Birmingham’s allinclusive rugby team Birmingham Bulls RFC for the season 2021/22! We’re really excited to work with them over the next year and wish them amazing success this season.”
