Beer Festival Sponsorship
The Rotary Club of Warrington is now arranging its twelfth annual Beer Festival, to be held from 16 to 18 October 2008 at the Parr Hall, Palmyra Square, Warrington.
All the profits go to charities and the running total raised to date is close to £110,000! We need businesses to sponsor the event by contributing towards the considerable cost of hire of the Hall, publicity, brochures, glasses, helpers T-shirts, purchase of the casks of beer, cider, bottled beers, entertainment during the Festival and so on.
The following companies and Individuals have already committed to sponsoring the beer festival this year

For the second year running, the Dusanj brothers of Robert Cain's Liverpool Brewery are the main sponsors of the festival,
providing our glasses and selected beers, but we also need other sponsors to offset the cost of the rest, so we ask for £80 from each sponsor. This covers the approximate cost of a barrel of beer. Each year we have around 70 barrels, representing over 65 different beers, and we anticipate needing a similar number of barrels for 2008.
In return for sponsorship, we invite the sponsor plus a guest, to join us on Thursday afternoon before opening to the public, to meet representatives of our chosen charities, and sample as many of the beers as they wish, before we start charging at 5.30pm. We also provide 10 complimentary entry tickets for use by sponsors, their colleagues or friends, so they only need to buy beer tokens.
The name of each sponsor is shown in our brochure, and any advertising material that sponsors want to put in the Parr Hall will be accommodated (within reasonable limits). In addition, the name of each sponsor will be shown on the front of a barrel of beer or cider, or alongside the speciality bottled beer bar. We can also add a link to your website from our beer festival pages. If you have a particular beer that you would like to sponsor, subject to sufficient notice and availability, we will use our best endeavours to get a barrel, and add your name to that beer. However, we cannot accommodate lagers, because of the extra equipment and space needed for each keg in the form of gas canisters and coolers.
We can offer sponsorship to many companies, and if you know of another individual or organisation that may wish to help with this large charity event please contact the club via email or post.
In 2008, our charities will include the local charities: Warrington Schools Brass Band, Fife Rangers Football Club, Woolston Eyes Conservation Group, Making Space, Warrington Hospital League of Friends, Life Education, and two international charities: Life Straws and A Cambodian Hospital Project.
If you are able to sponsor the event, please send a cheque for £80 made out to “Rotary Club of Warrington” with your contact details for the brochure and website, to Rotary Club of Warrington, c/o 4 Chalfont Close, Appleton, Warrington, WA4 5JT and you will be sent a receipt and/or invoice for your accounts.
