Cotswold Airport signs 3 Year Sponsorship Deal with Fairford Rugby Club

Michael Wrona, Fairford Rugby Club, and Suzannah Harvey, CEO Cotswold Airport, celebrate the signing of a sponsorship deal at Cotswold Airport.

Fairford – 2nd October 2024 – Fairford Rugby Club today announces the signing of a Major Sponsor deal with Kemble based Cotswold Airport. The three-year sponsorship deal will see Cotswold Airport as main kit sponsor for the senior teams along with pitch side signage and advertising.

 

Fairford Rugby Club, founded in 1994 by George Ellis, has its grounds at Coln House in the picturesque Cotswolds town. The club fields men’s (The Badgers) and women’s (The Vixens) senior teams in the Dorset & Wilts North league. In addition to being an active sporting club, Fairford Rugby Club also hosts a successful summer festival weekend that sees an additional 3 thousand visitors to the club’s playing fields annually.

 

Michael Wrona, Sponsorship Secretary Fairford Rugby Club commented, “We are a small club with a large heart, so support from local businesses such as Cotswold Airport is key to the success and growth of the club and really means the world to us. Sponsorships like this help us to continue to build the club and drive us towards our goal of establishing our own clubhouse at the ground.

 

“We are fortunate to have such a thriving aviation hub nearby that is willing to support the local community. As a team we have always had a strong connection with aviation with members from the RAF and nearby Airbus. We look forward to reciprocating this sponsorship by making the most of the great facilities at the airport especially the AV8 restaurant for those all-important breakfasts!”

 

Cotswold Airport, formally RAF Kemble, is situated 15 miles from Fairford and provides a convenient aviation hub in the heart of the Cotswolds.

 

Suzannah Harvey, CEO Cotswolds Airport said, “We are really proud to sponsor both the women’s and men’s senior teams of Fairford Rugby Club over the next three years. Grass roots sport is such an important part of our community, we are happy to get behind this. I look forward to providing further encouragement from the sidelines and we can’t wait to welcome the club’s members and supporters to the airport, and obviously anyone wanting to fly in for the weekend for a match is also more than welcome!”

Cotswold Airport, Europe’s largest privately owned airport, announces 3-year sponsorship deal with eminent Cirencester Park Polo Club for the principal polo tournament on the UK circuit, The Warwickshire Cup.

Cirencester Park, one of the oldest polo clubs in the world, is a regular haunt of royals and celebrities and has an action-packed schedule of events lined up this summer under the new command of polo club Director Mark Hayden-Kellard.

The Warwickshire Cup is the most historic tournament of the UK polo calendar and the afterparty, well, is the pinnacle of the summer party season and the UK’s “be seen at” event. It will be a day of world-class polo with public enjoying summer cocktails, ice cold beers and cool tunes long into the evening.

“We’re very excited about the new partnership with Cotswold Airport. Many of our visitors and players utilise the facilities at the airport which is only a few miles away. Their infrastructure and service delivery is world leading. We have an international DJ booked and a guest list of the UK’s premier “jet-set” says Hayden-Kellard.

The event will be raising money for The NFRSA (National Foundation for Retired Service Animals), a charity recently established by Countess Bathurst and visitors will be treated to a demonstration by our furry friends.

Attendees flying into Cotswold Airport are offered free general entry to the tournament on the Saturday 18th June with corporate VIP hospitality and picnic spots available at additional (discounted) cost by contacting +44 (0)1285 653225
