SPONSORSHIP AT PENRYN RUGBY CLUB Dear Prospective Sponsor and Partner, Hello and welcome to Penryn Rugby Club. Approaching the 150th anniversary of its formation in 1872, Penryn Rugby Club is the oldest rugby club in Cornwall. As of 2018, Penryn has two men’s senior teams, a strong ladies’ squad and well over 200 mini and youth players. In addition, the club has over 100 volunteers. Penryn owns its substantial grounds and facilities on the edge of town, close to the Falmouth University and Exeter University shared campus. Also known as The Borough, Penryn Rugby Club promotes “The Borough Way” of teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline, sportsmanship, loyalty and friendship across the whole club, providing a positive and safe environment for rugby players irrespective of age and gender. The Penryn Memorial Ground is a focal point for the town, bringing together people and businesses from Penryn and neighbouring villages. Penryn RFC already has a network of sponsors who provide vital support to the club, ensuring that we are able to provide rugby to the highest possible standards for the community of Penryn. However, we are an ambitious club with an aim to be the leading amateur club in Cornwall. This is why we need sponsors to join us in supporting our four priorities: to protect what makes rugby and Penryn RFC so special; to engage with the Borough of Penryn by keeping in touch with the community; to grow the Borough through more opportunities for more people; and to achieve success on and off the pitch. Penryn RFC has designed a number of tiered packages which will give businesses and individuals the opportunity to support the Club at all levels. Our packages offer our sponsors brand exposure media, print, signage, membership database, competition naming rights and much more. In return for your investment, Penryn RFC can help your business increase brand awareness and image, gain new customers and develop relationships with existing customers. If you have any queries regarding our sponsorship packages please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Penryn is a rugby club with a rich history and a bright future, and I hope you will be a part of it.

Men’s 2nd XV: Penryn Saracens After a break of several years, Penryn bucked the general trend in Cornwall last season by re-establishing their 2nd XV, known as Penryn Saracens.
