I don't think we need sponsors, and we have no ambitions that would currently justify taking sponsorship.
Maybe that will change in a year, maybe people want support to do more stuff.
But I'd rather just make things fairly lean, and PAYG for events. This way the events can mostly carry on being ad-hoc organised things by various people.
I suspect that the jerseys will make a slight profit (a couple of quid per jersey), and what profit there would be I'd put into prizes for events or beer or something. If I took sponsorship all I'd do is give it away immediately... but why compromise a nice club strip with a sponsors logo when it's not needed.
Ask again in April/May when we do the next club strip order. But I doubt we'd need to seek a sponsor for a long while.
