Cooma Cats set to acknowledge sponsors
The Cooma Cats AFL Club will be thanking their sponsors at the annual “Sponsors Dinner” on Saturday, 20 August.
Following the success of the inaugural Cats’ Sponsors Dinner last year, the club will be again inviting its valued sponsors to a meal and update on how the club is progressing.
Cooma Cats club president Dave Paterson said it was important for the club to provide a forum where it could update its sponsors on what the Cats have been doing throughout the year, and what the plans are for season 2012.
“We rely on a great group of local sponsors who support us in many ways, and help keep the AFL dream alive on the Monaro and across the Snowy Mountains,” Dave said.
“So we believe it is of great importance to get all our sponsors together to thank them for their support, and provide them with an opportunity to meet and chat with club officials and players,” he said.
The Cooma Cats continued to grow stronger each year, along with the strength of the AFL Canberra competition in which the team plays.
The Cats play in Division Four of the AFL Canberra competition, which comprises of 12 teams from Canberra, Goulburn, Yass, Cootamundra and Cooma.
“It’s a tough competition, and it’s a healthy competition,” Dave said.
“And we are extremely proud of our progress in that competition and pride ourselves as being a community-based, family-focused, professionally run amateur football club of which the Cooma community can be rightfully proud.
The Cooma Cats also have a junior side – the Snowy SuperCats - playing in the Under 14s competition, which is providing youngsters the chance to play competitive AFL.
“However, to continue to do this, we rely on support from community-minded businesses who share our dream,” he said.
Dave invited any local businesses interested in finding our more about the Cooma Cats to contact him about attending the dinner.
“We welcome any potential sponsor to our Sponsors Dinner if they want to find out more about who and what the Cooma Cats are all about,” Dave said.
“If you are keen to share our dream of bringing AFL football to the community and are interested in discussing the relationship further, we would love to meet you.
“These are exciting times for AFL football on the Monaro and across the Snowy Mountains and we look forward to you joining us on our mission to bring our great Australian game to the community,” he said.
The Cooma Cats Sponsors Dinner will be held at Dodds Hotel at 7pm on Saturday, 20 August 2011. For any inquiries, please contact club secretary Rob Barnes on 0425827130.
