With a view to increase our membership base, events and performances in competition I believe this is will be a huge year for our club.
I am proud to be able to present to you our sponsorship prospectus for this exciting year.
I look forward to working with you.
Pat Davis-Meehan President, NU-SS
Thank you for taking the time to consider sponsorship opportunities with NU-SS for 2013!
With a year full of exciting events ahead of us, we are actively seeking support from businesses in conducting such activities and events.
Due to this great variety, there are numerous opportunities to promote your business and leverage its products through our events.
I would like to invite you to see what we have to offer as a club and ask you to consider supporting us this year.
Regards,
Hannah Lambert Sponsorship Liaison, NU-SS
What is NU-SS? NU-SS is the official snow sports club of the University of Newcastle.
The club operates according to its two key values • To bring students with the common interest of snow activities
together to network and socialise. • To provide a platform for students to excel at a competitive level in snow sports events.
Although Newcastle is considered to be particularly far away from any form of snow the club is extremely active, holding many social events as well as two large snow trips.
The following pages provide an insight into what the NU-SS is all about.
NU-SS Activities & Events Every year NU-SS stages a variety of events both on and off the slopes. This is a general outline of the style of events which organisations can become involved in through sponsorship
opportunities. Australian University Championships The Australian University Championships (AUC) are the hallmark event for the club. Each year around 600 students from universities all over Australia come together for a week of competition. In 2013, the event will be held at Thredbo.
Social Trip – New Zealand In 2011 the club held its first overseas social trip to the snowfields in southern New Zealand. After a large amount of success, the trip occurred again in 2012, and the dates are now set for 2013.
NU-SS Activities & Events Rail Jams One of the more unique events the club organises is that of rail jams. Essentially a man made snow park for our members to
demonstrate their abilities, these events are always popular and provide for spectacular viewing.
2012 saw us hold two rail jams in unusual locations, King Edward Park and at the university’s own ‘Bar on the Hill’.
Social events Aside from our on snow activities we also hold a host of social events including our registration party during ‘Orientation Week’, AUCs, New Zealand trip reunions and an end of year get-together.
What the NU-SS can do for your organisation NU-SS has a clear sponsorship philosophy, to provide maximum value to our sponsors on their investment in a way which is relevant to their organisation.
In order to create maximum flexibility for your organisation the NU-SS has created a simple sponsorship structure.
The following pages outline what the club has to offer and the benefits derived from each opportunity. We are able to create
a customised package based on the opportunities which would be of most value to your organisation.
We are also open to other innovative ideas which you may have in leveraging your products, services or brand.
Sponsorship Opportunities Inclusion on the 2013 Team Uniform
A presence on the team uniform is one of the most coveted opportunities for organisations. The club uniform is worn by club members competing at the Australian University Championships in Snow Sports, to be held at Thredbo in 2013. The uniform is a highly respected item by club members, all competitors and spectators.
Your organisation will have a presence on the 2013 uniform
as we compete in front of large crowds. The uniform is a perpetual item often worn for many years by past and present club members.
