Bursary Opportunity for Clubs: Match Programme Team

A £1050.00 bursary is available to six clubs within the Province who wish to join the match programme sales team...

// Available Opportunity
 
Ulster Rugby is currently seeking six rugby clubs within Ulster to take part in a bursary programme. Each club will be allocated three matches this season at which they can take over the sales of the official match programme for a bursary of £250.00, extended to £350.00 per game, if your programme allocation sells out. A minimum of 12 members will be required for each game.
 
It is our aim to give rugby clubs within Ulster the opportunity to fundraise, whilst also raising awareness for your club at Kingspan Stadium on busy match nights.
 
Please express your interest before Friday 1st July at 5pm by emailing Sara-Louise Bowman on sara-louise.bowman@ulsterrugby.com. 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 £1050.00 bursary on offer.
 
// Bursary
 
Each club will be allocated three fixtures on a rotational basis throughout the season. A £250.00 bursary will be paid to each club’s account upon completion of each fixture (the following Monday). If your programme allocation for the night sells out, you will be awarded an additional £100.00. The maximum bursary for each club this season will be £1050.00.
