Shepherd Neame

You are no doubt aware that we have been extremely fortunate to extend our sponsorship with Shepherd Neame for the 2007 season.

The brewers is also the main sponsor of Kent County Cricket Club and is now the sixth largest in the United Kingdom with over 400 public houses in the South East.

We are delighted that Shepherd Neame are involved with the Kent Cricket League and you will no doubt have noticed the new name of the League on this letter. They also have access to our excellent website and will be inputting items of news onto a number of pages on our site.

Clearly they wish to develop commercial trading links with our member clubs, and for those who do not trade with them at present, you will find their portfolio of their own products and those they wholesale, to be highly competitive. They also believe they can seriously improve your wealth!

We are extremely keen that clubs support Shepherd Neame, as, if all goes well, it may be possible to extend the sponsorship agreement for a further period of time.

To that end, I would be obliged if ALL clubs would supply me with details of whom the brewery should contact to discuss any possible trading links. To show our support would clubs therefore respond direct to me, within 14 days, with details of the best person in their club to whom enquiries from the brewery should be directed. Name, address, telephone number and E-Mail address would suffice.

Shepherd Neame are keen supporters of our game and being our largest Kent brewers, would be delighted to have our support.

I look forward to your reply in due course howard.smith500@ntlworld.com 

Yours sincerely,

Howard Smith
Chairman
