Sponsor a Barrel and Help the Youth Team

03 March 2010 10:38
After the success of the previous two years, York Minstermen are currently organising the 3rd annual Bootham Crescent Beer Festival for Friday 25th to Sunday 27th June in the York City FC Social Club. This year's event will have a World Cup theme, with bottled beers from around the world plus the usual impressive selection of local real ales and ciders. Those attending will also be able to watch the action from the World Cup on the TVs in the Social Club throughout the Beer Festival. We are appealing for businesses, supporters groups or individuals to sponsor a barrel and help to cover the costs of the event. This will mean that every penny spent at the event will then benefit the York City Youth Fund. We have already received pledges to sponsor a barrel from several York City supporters' groups (Harrogate Minstermen, Pocklington Minstermen and York City South), a number of last year's sponsors (A Novel Idea, PlayFootball and Stan & Margaret Rogers) and newcomers Stonegate Yard. We are also delighted to have been offered a significant quantity of snacks from Country Products to sell at the event and also a free barrel of beer from York Brewery. The cost of sponsoring each barrel is £75 and, in return, the sponsor will receive four tickets for the Beer Festival, plenty of publicity in the build up and exposure at the event itself (posters, advert in the souvenir programme, labels on the pumps etc). More importantly, the sponsors will have the satisfaction that they are helping to secure the future of the football club's Youth Team. If you are interested in sponsoring a barrel, please contact Ian Tyssen from York Minstermen by any of the methods below … E-mail: ian@yorkminstermen.org.ukTelephone / Text: 07794 091 810Post: York Minstermen, c/o York City Football Club, Bootham Crescent, York, YO30 7AQ. Alternatively, visit the Supporters Office, next to the Club Shop, at any 1st team home game between now and the end of the season.
