Click on the front cover to view our Sponsorship Opportunities Prospective Sponsors & Product Donors What is GUBC? Achievements
Why are we seeking sponsorship? Rowing is renowned for being an expensive sport and as harsh the reality is, the clubs with more money in England always have the advantage. Over the past couple of years we have excelled and challenged these better off clubs for their positions and with more funding we can only better our success. We are looking to you to help us reach our goal through sponsorship. In return we will ensure that your business receives maximum exposure on our kit, boat, trailer and website as our sponsor. As a club we feel that we achieve well above what our level of finances and resources should reasonably dictate. This year we have a highly ambitious and talented squad within which it is generally felt a Henley semi final/final crew could emerge. We have an exciting new coaching team who believe that our squad has significant potential to achieve highly in this and the coming years. The faith in the abilities of both men/women’s squads to achieve highly is matched by the willingness of our coaches to devote unpaid hours to coaching the squad on and off the water. GUBC occupies its own Boathouse (on the River Clyde) and a sound fleet of boats and equipment. However to stay as competitive as the rest of our well funded UK counterparts we need help in securing funding to update aspects of our equipment and fleet to ensure we have the best possible platform upon which to reach our attainable goal of a Henley winning crew.
Due to the current economic climate we understand that sponsorship opportunities are few and far between however we strongly believe that sponsorship of GUBC is an investment in developing the future of rowing in Glasgow and rowing in Scotland. Your company will be associated with a crew that achieves especially highly in the coming years due to healthy squad development and an increasing level of success at events. By sponsoring GUBC you will be affiliating your name with an exciting and elite team of athletes who will represent your business up and down the United Kingdom and Europe. We travel the length of the UK many times annually to compete and our trailer and Boats are viewed by many. By sponsoring GUBC you will be able to attain maximum exposure on our travels through our Kit, Boats, Oars, Trailer. Furthermore our Website is an equally effective method for your business to be advertised showing your affiliation to our successful team of athletes.
Sponsorship Opportunities Glasgow vs. Edinburgh Boat Race Sponsorship This package provides an opportunity to be affiliated with the second oldest boat race in the UK. The Glasgow V Edinburgh Annual Boat race was established in 1887 making it second only to the Oxbridge race.
