 Last
year Wollongong solicitors McGuire & McInerney
generously became sponsor of the Wollongong
Sevens at the last minute. McGuire & McInerny's
Mark McDonald has sportingly given organisers
the go ahead to seek other options for 2004
and may either return as naming rights sponor
or aid the (University) club and tournament
in another capacity, depending on our ability
to attract alternative support.
If
another company and McGuire & MacInerney
offer the same amount of money, then we will
stick with the incumbants due to loyalty.
However, if another company were to offer
more money, we will accept the bid with McGuire
& McInerney blessing. Again thanks to
Mark and Teague McDonald, and of course mcGuire
& McInerney.
BENEFITS
This
tournament is an event that gets countless
mentions on an array of media outlets and
websites. The local media in Wollongong has
a great track record in promoting local rugby
league. Even the announcement of a new naming
rights sponsor will be covered on WIN TV,
radio station 198fm (who have their street
fleet at the event with live plugs throughout
the two days), the Illawarra Mercury and Rugby
league review magazine. It will also be plugged
on both the World Of Rugby League, Web Of
Steel and Leagueunlimited web sites that get
thousands of hits a day. Even before a ball
is kicked, the dollar value of the advertising
we can offer equals the amount contributed.
Then
there is of course signage at the ground,
which will have around 3000 fans through the
gates over the two days, with plugs read over
the PA. A great chance to network whilst enjoying
a great weekend of sevens footy before enthusiatic
crowds who produce a wonderful atmosphere.

interested parties can contact Chris Bannerman
