ARE YOU INTERESTED IN PROMOTING THE GROWTH OF MTBING IN THE GREATER TAURANGA REGION?
The time has come for the club to start investing in a few bits and pieces, from tools to tents and all the things in between that will help make the club and our events run smoothly and help promote mountain biking in the greater Tauranga region. We are therefore looking for any ideas for sponsorship and/or persons willing to sponsor the club and put something towards this gear.
We recently purchased some tools with money from the awesome guys at the Tauranga Roundtable and we thought the next purchase could be a pop up tent. A sponsor would be able to get advertising printed on the tent which would then be on display at events that our club riders participate in both locally and around the country. We could also offer a potential sponsor some advertising space on the home page of our website. Just think… most people coming to Tauranga to mountain bike visit this site for info and you/your product could be the first thing they see!
So get your thinking caps on and if you have got any ideas or know of anyone keen to help us out with sponsorship, drop Matt a line at
