Sporting Expertise:

Motor racing

Sporting Experience:

Started racing in the Kent County Formula Ford 1600 Championship in 1998. Achieved best results of any rookie drive in the series including a 3rd place at Croix-en-Ternoisin France and a second place in a L&HCC FF1600 race at Lydden Hill. I was the early championship lead in the 1999 Kent County Series, with two 2nd places, a 4th and a 3rd in the opening four rounds. After missing nearly half of the season, I took a win in a Single-Seater Trophy race at Lydden Hill before competing in the FF1600 Winter Championship. I won the Championship title by a 12 point margin with two 2nd place finishes and a win. In 2000 I am trying to raise the sponsorship to take advantage of one of the many offers I have received. I could race in Junior Formula Ford Zetec, the Slick 50 Zetec Championship, Formula First, Formula Renault or the higher prestigious Euro Formula Palmer Audi Championship. In June I took part in the Kent County Formula Ford Championship at Brands Hatch and was part of the PowerTour package that date. I claimed 3rd place, after starting 4th (and ahead of the Championship leader). I have now finished on the podium at each racing circuit I have raced at, and also had a podium position in my last four races.

What can I offer a Potential Sponsor?:

In Formula Palmer Audi: Exposure: ITV, Sky Sports, Eurosport and in US, Speedvision all cover this championship, and it receives substantial coverage in the national press, as well as blanket coverage in motor sport press. The meetings take place at every major track in the UK, as well as in Belgium, Germany and France. On Car: Over 80% of visible surface of car is available for corporate branding - all on a Formula 1 style car. The EFPA cars are regarded at the best looking outside Formula 1 and Formula 3000. Race Meetings: The meetings are very high profile, with a strong bill of races for the crowd to enjoy - the EFPA races are the headline event at each UK meeting, and are second only to a Sports Car Race (featuring Le Mans cars) at European meetings. The EFPA also present a major opportunity to treat major clients or staff to a special day out that will raise a company's standing in their eyes. It offers the best race day hospitality outside Formula 1 - sponsor visits to team base at Bedford Autodrome, opportunity to race cars on circuits (eg Lotus Elise, Caterham, Audi TT), meetings and lunch with ex-Formula 1 driver Jonathan Palmer, drive and race the Formula Palmer Audi cars yourself at Bedford Autodrome, "SuperRides" in the 2-seater Formula Palmer Audi, car use for corporate events/exhibitions, British Grand Prix hospitality.

Sporting Expertise:

Racing Car Driver

Sporting Experience:

I have been competing in saloon cars since 1982, more recently at National level in the UK where success has only been limited by sponsorship funds. Despite this I have achieve a lot for my sponsors and gained a lot of racing experience along the way. My work as a consulting automotive engineer has also given me the opportunity to test a wide variety of machinery in many countries. I now hold an International Competition Licence.

What can I offer a Potential Sponsor?:

I am well educated, articulate and have the ability to communicate with people of all levels. I am also fit and well presented. I now have the opportunity to compete in the UK's premier Sports Car Championship as well as some of the world's most famous long distance races in Europe, Japan and Australia. All of these events offer excellent exposure for a company or brand. As a business man, I understand that there is more to sponsorship than having a brand name or logo on the side of a racing car. I have a PR agent who works with me to ensure maximum exposure for each individual sponsor.

My photograph appears around six times each year in such articles, with my name mentioned most weeks. Any sponsors name could be mentioned each time my name appears. If a potential sponsor was interested in sponsoring one of the teams or clubs with whom I compete, that club or team could be renamed to reflect or incorporate the sponsor's name, thus ensuring maximum publicity. Most of the events in which I take part are as a member of a team, so sponsoring of the team may be most appropriate. I would obviously display the sponsor's name on clothing or with banners etc as appropriate

Sporting Experience:

As I am studying for a Sports Science Degree, I believe I have a very good understanding of all sports but in cycling I am aiming for top level coaching in the future. Ultimately though I would love to be a professional cyclist and with a small amount of help to allow me to give up my part time job and train more, it is a possibility

What can I offer a Potential Sponsor?:

I feel that for the small level of support I require I could bring lots of local and national press (specialist cycling press). If a local company were to sponsor me, I would endeavour to train in the areas that would give the most potential customer contact, so they could see my sponsors' logos on my kit. I would also show them on my personal web site and wear any clothing or use any equipment lent to be by my sponsor.

Latin American Dancing with my partner, Miss Emma Hogan

Sporting Experience:

Emma has been dancing for 17 years and I have been dancing for 11 years. We have just recently formed a partnership together which we hope will further our expectations and take us another step closer to achieving our goals. In the years that we have been dancers, we have both achieved a tremendous amount of success with previous partners. These include British Junior Finalist, International Youth (U21) semi-finalist, former Scottish and Northern Ireland Champion, City of Liverpool and London Youth Champion, Junior All-Ireland Champion, member of the winning Ireland team at the British Championships and many more. We believe that with the right kind of sponsorship, we have what it takes to compete in the many important European and World Events as representatives of Northern Ireland. Future events we will be participating in: May 2000 - Northern Ireland Championships - Belfast 26 May - 2 June - British Open 2000 at WinterGardens, Blackpool 3 June IDSF World Cup Latin Championships - Szombathely, Hungary Mid June - All Ireland Dance Championships - Mosney Holiday Camp, Ireland 9 September - IDSF World Latin - Miami, USA 6 - 8 October - IDSF International Open Latin - National Sports Centre, Papendal, Arnham, Holland 11 November - IDSF World Open Latin - Slagharen, Holland

What can I offer a Potential Sponsor?:

We can offer a potential sponsor publicity for you and your company which will be displayed in the form of your logo or name being printed on all baggage, clothing allocated by country of representation (N Ireland) and at all International events, your name or logo will be displayed in all programmes as our sponsor. Many of the European competitions that we hope to go to are very well televised throughout Europe, mainly on channels such as Sky Sports and Eurosport. Basically, if you sponsor us by paying our travel costs, then the more competitions that you pay for us to go to, the more publicity you will receive. Our partnership is also helping to develop relations with Protestants and Catholics in Ireland. Emma is a Catholic from Dublin and I am a Protestant from Belfast. With your help we can also promote this type of cross border relationship and make it a lot more acceptable not only in our sport, but others too

International 400m runner

Sporting Experience:

Last year was my break through in athletics. I started running at Christmas time and in June I made my debut for Ireland in the European Cup, where I helped break the national records for the 4 x 400m relay. On 13 June, I won the Belfast International on a cold and wet day with a time of 46.73 seconds. I went on to run in the World Student Games where I injured my knee. I missed a few weeks training, but was still selected for the World Championships where I ran the anchor leg. I am based in Stoke and Belfast over the summer. On 28/29 April I took part in the 400m at the British Universities Sports Association meeting, and broke the Championship Record with a time of 45.92 secs, a new Personal Best. The 'Road to Sydney' meetings start at Loughborough on 21 May and the venue for the next 'Road to Sydney' meeting on 3 June has yet to be advised.

What can I offer a Potential Sponsor?:

I have recently joined Border Harriers and will therefore be competing in the Division 1 National League and Cup events this year. I will almost certainly be competing in the Olympic Games this year for the Irish Team which will obviously gain a lot of media attention. If everything goes to plan, I will run in the low 45 seconds and get onto the European circuit.

I have won local races and a Bronze Medal at the South African Championships two years ago, won Gauteng Championships last year and North Gauteng Championships the previous year. Internationally I have recently raced in Holland in May in a Powerman event ( big international series competed in 12 countries). It is an ultra duathlon where distances must be at least a 10km run, 60km bike ride and 10km run. Holland's distances were 15km/62km/8km and I got 33rd place and a Powerman World Ranking, but I have slipped outside the top 50 due to lack of racing through funding. Recently competed in the Miniman short Course Duathlon in Centurion, Pretoria and got an 8th place. The next race will be the World Duathlon Championships in France in October.

What can I offer a Potential Sponsor?:

I get certain TV coverage from Races - I have been on Eurosport when I race there. I get local TV coverage in South Africa. I can wear company names etc on all kit.

Sporting Expertise:

I am an active kayak coach and competitor as well as an aspirant PE teacher

Sporting Experience:

I used to compete in Freestyle competitions. These are competitions based on weirs or specific hydraulic features and points are scored for moves performed during two timed runs and an aggregate score is then calculated. I have performed in three ranking events and the last published ranking that I was included in placed me at 101 nationally. More recently I have competed in the Student National Freestyle competition at Holme Pierre Point, Nottingham in which I came third in my heat, missing the cut for the finals by 1 point. I have been kayaking for over ten years but the last four at college have given me access to Britain's leading kayak surf coach and general guru (!) Ian Coleman. This has lead to my development in the discipline of surfing and I am currently an aspirant Level 4 surf coach. In November 1999 I competed in an open kayak surf competition at Widemouth Bay, Devon and made the quarter finals, again being knocked out by a narrow margin. This year I am seeking to compete in many more surf competitions, chasing the so far elusive number one spot. As this discipline of paddle sport is still in its infancy, there is currently no ranking system. I envisage that I will be a prominent figure in the discipline of kayak surfing within the next five years.

What can I offer a Potential Sponsor?:

I am offering a potential sponsor the opportunity to be seen to be supporting a discipline that is still very much in its developmental stages, but is growing all the time due to the increasing lack of water in British rivers. This will also give potential sponsors an opportunity to place their name on several beaches across the British Isles and abroad, reaching kayak surfers, board surfers and general members of the public community, reaching audiences that it may not otherwise reach as well as the opportunity to maximise on the publicity associated with sports sponsorship, including local, national and kayak related press. I will also be in a position to promote the company's products or services and offer my loyalty to them.

Sporting Expertise:

Professional sled dog racing. My team was placed 2nd in the world in the Junior World Championship Sled Dog Race run by the International Federation of Sleddog Sports and Piena (the national Spanish Club)

Sporting Experience:

I have been sled dog racing for the past four years, two have been professionally. My father and I own a kennel of 50 top racing Alaskan Huskies as well as co-owning a business called "Ice Fire" (www.icefire.com). Over the winter months we participate in an average of 7 - 8 races and then for the rest of the 350 days, we feed, train and car for our huskies. In the future I would like to become the best female musher in this sport and would like to take the sport and promote it into the Olympics. To give an over-view of our success, during the 1998 season, we won over five total kennel medals. In the North Star Sled Dog Club (the state wide club for Minnesota) we won the following: Gold in 4 Dog Professional, Bronze in 4 Dog Professional, Gold in 6 Dog Sport, Silver in 6 Dog Sport and Silver in 3 Dog Sport. This season we tallied up over 45 first, second and third place finishes. During December I travelled to Viehlla, Spain in the Pyrenees Mountains to compete in the Junior World Championship Sled Dog Race where my team and I were placed second in the world. I plan (if I get sponsorship) to go to a junior mushing camp in northern Poland and then also go back to Europe more this next winter to race, possibly even Australia.

What can I offer a Potential Sponsor?:

In gaining a sponsorship, we can offer recognition when doing interviews and general PR speaking, seminars, etc. We can put logos on our "dog truck" and also promote it via our business and web page.

What can I offer a Potential Sponsor?:

An inside track into an enormous level of contacts at various levels within the sport from grass roots to International. My involvement in my sport involves a lot of travelling and probably do around 20,000 miles a year just for my sport. (I also work with Sussex business community and so add the travelling from that as well!) I have used the various medias to raise the profile of hockey from local radio, local to national press and now Internet. I have contacts with Sports Development people and believe we all need to put something back into the grass roots/mini hockey and so a lot of my spare time is providing free coaching at this level. Would like to negotiate best deal for sponsor and myself - a symbiotic relationship.

I am currently ranked second in the UK and am also second on the UK all time performances list, having jumped 4 metres in January. I have also played hockey at national level for some years. April of this year I will be going to LA for six weeks to train and compete. This will hopefully stand me in good stead for the upcoming Olympics in Sydney

What can I offer a Potential Sponsor?:

I can offer a great deal of local and national exposure in the press, as well as specialist magazines. Because of my self employed nature, I am available for PR work at most times. I am an enthusiastic and dedicated athlete who thrives in a competitive environment, and can transfer this easily into any sponsorship opportunity that I am presented with to form a mutually beneficial relationship between sponsor and athlete.

Sporting Expertise:

I play hockey to a high level, in defence and midfield. I consider myself to be a solid defender with good vision who is capable to play the ball out of defence. In the Men's 2nd XI I am currently playing sweeper

Sporting Experience:

I have played for Chichester Hockey Club for nine years. I have captained my age group at U12 and U14 levels and am currently Captain of the U16 team. At the age of 13, I started to play in the Chichester Chipmunks (a colt side playing in a Men's League on Saturdays). Two years ago, I was promoted to the Men's 2nd XI. This was a huge jump and I am now a major player in this team, and hope to be playing in the 1st Team within a year. I have represented Sussex at U13, U14, U15 and U16 levels. Indeed, most recently at U16 I was Captain. I have also played for the South (East) of England at U14 and U15 levels. Unfortunately I did not get into the U17 team this year, but hope to next year when I am of the correct age. Following the 1998 divisional tournament, I was invited to an England U16 trial but failed to progress further than the first round of trials. It did however show me a number of things I could improve on and was a valuable 'coaching' experience by John Shaw. I also enjoy coaching and umpiring. At school, I play a major part in organising the Year 7, 8 and 9 teams, and often umpire their games.

What can I offer a Potential Sponsor?:

I feel that I can offer a potential sponsor publicity on a wide scale, through three key elements: my team mates - at school, club, county and divisional levels, my friends and family, and the general public - through spectators. I feel that being a young, hopeful prospect for the future, I can offer a potential sponsor long term publicity and support. This will hopefully be at the highest level.

Hockey

Sporting Experience:

I play for Lewes Hockey Club in the National League Div 1, have played County hockey through the age groups and was part of the Championship winning side last season. I also play for South U21's and have been involved with the England U21 squad since I was 17. This year I have been to Barcelona with the U21's and have been selected for the European Cup in Madrid in July. I am also aiming for selection for the U21 World Cup in Tasmania in 2001 and to break into the England senior set up. Last summer I played for a Premier League side in South Africa. Coming up for England we have a match against Wales, several training camps and a weekend of matches in Holland against the Dutch, before we go to Madrid for the Europeans. It is vital we do well in the Europeans as they are also the qualifier for the U21 World Cup next year in Tasmania.

I would use every opportunity to display and carry a sponsor's logo on clothing and equipment while training and competing in Britain and other countries

Dressage. I am currently in the British Pony Dressage B Squad and the British Pony Dressage Quadrille Team. My dressage pony is Risinghoe Scarlett Pimpernel (in photo)

Sporting Experience:

I have ridden in Pony Club competitions for 8 years. In 1996 I qualified for the Ponies UK finals for Riding Club Pony of the Year, after gaining the title "Riding Club Pony of the Year 1996, Surrey, Sussex and Kent Champion". In November 1998 I started to specialise in Dressage. Through the last season my pony and I have gone from strength to strength earning a place in the British Squad. I have competed in many national competitions, including last year, and the beginning of this year's Premier Leagues, with ever improving scores. I ended last year being 13th out of all the British Dressage ponies, and through competitions this year I rose to 8th position. I have also competed in the U21 Elementary Championship where we came 13th. I competed in the Ardingly Area Festival coming 4th in the Elementary Championship and then 2nd in the Medium Championship. In September 1999 we were invited to take part in the Pony Quadrille at the National Championships at Stoneleigh. I have competed in many affiliated dressage competitions throughout the season. I have won and been placed in many Medium and Elementary classes gaining 46 points throughout the season. I have also upgraded by rider group from 8 to 5. We ended last season in mid December at Catherston (Hampshire) where we came 2nd and 3rd, gaining our highest score in a Medium class. This season has started on a good note, as we gained the highest place we have been in the FEI (International) team test. We were also chosen for the FEI test riding practise at Addington (Buckinghamshire) On 28/29 April, I took part in the FEI Pony Preliminary test on two ponies, Virginia and Risinghoe Scarlett Pimpernel (Percy). I came 5th on Virginia, and 8th on Percy on 28 April and on 29 April after an early start, competing on Virginia at 7am and came 7th , with Percy coming 8th. Following these results, Emma and Virginia gain 9th place in the Pony Rider Rankings. Since competed at Ardingly on 20 May in another Premier League where we came 2nd in a Medium test and then 5th in the Pony FEI team test. From these results, we have also upgraded our Pony Rider Ranking to 8th. Recently shortlisted for final selection for the European Pony Championships, the final selection will be made on 2 July.
