Ulster Rugby would like to invite rugby clubs within the Province to apply for the Match Programme Sales Team Bursary.
Available Opportunity
The bursary totalling £1,400 is available to four clubs within Ulster who wish to provide a match programme sales team.
Ulster Rugby is committed to supporting the development of rugby in Ulster and works to give local rugby clubs the opportunity to raise funds vital to the provision of their services.
Each club will be allocated four matches during the 2018/19 season at which they will take over the sales of the official match programme in return for a bursary of £250.00. The bursary will be extended to £350.00 per game if the programme team sell out.
A minimum of 10 members will be required for each game.
This is a fantastic opportunity for any club to generate additional revenue whilst raising their profile at Kingspan Stadium on busy match nights.
If you would like to express your interest on behalf of your club, please email sara-louise.bowman@ulsterrugby.com by Monday 2nd July at 5pm. You should include your club details, the details of the main contact or future programme team manager, along with 200 words describing how you would utilise the potential £1,400 bursary on offer for your club.
