Hi everyone,
As many of you will know, CH has, over the past few years, sponsored players and staff at the Club - starting with Daniel O'Donnell and then Matty Mainwaring, before supporting Alan Lord in the last six seasons and also Jim Gannon, jointly with Lordy, for the last two.
The cost of the 'fan' sponsorship package is, this coming season, £275.00 including VAT. And for 2019/20, Lordy - who remains attached to the Club, albeit now in a joint role with Stockport Town - and/or Jim would be available to us, should we wish to act as Sponsors again.
However, the Club has also very kindly repeated its offer from last year, whereby, given Lordy's limited presence at Edgeley Park, we can sponsor him at a reduced rate, alongside Jim at the full price - a total cost of £330.00 including VAT.
With this offer in mind, please could I ask that any Heaveners who feel able to contribute towards the sponsorship cost - including confirmation, please, of the sum that you are realistically willing to pledge - send a private message to Epworth Hatter as soon as possible, and ideally by Monday, 15th July.
Our ability as a forum to enter into a sponsorship arrangement will, as ever, be determined by the total sum pledged - so please be ready to follow up with payment of the sum that you indicate. (Send no money yet, though. Arrangements for that will be confirmed as and - hopefully! - when we hit our target.)
If you have any general questions, please feel free to post them on this thread.
Cheers,
Macc

Hi all,
Quick update for you. We've made a good start this week and many thanks to those who made pledges so far. We've still some way to go to meet our target and a reasonably tight deadline, so could I encourage all those who want to contribute to the sponsorship costs to PM me this week.
A reminder that it is just a pledge at this stage - we'll make payment arrangements one we (hopefully) meet out target.
Cheers.

As Eps has already said, many thanks to everyone that has pledged so far.
My pledge has now been submitted, so hopefully we can attract enough support to continue our sponsorships of two absolutely legendary club servants!
Cheers, all!

Hi all,
Just a quick note. I'd forgotten that I have two accounts on CH (long story involving my terrible IT skills). My user name is Epworth Hatter (old school, none of this modern lowercase or underscore malarkey).
If you've sent me a PM and not heard back from me, it might be worth checking where you've sent it to.
Cheers.

Hi Gang,
Great news, we have almost reached our target, with one or two more promised pledges to come in.
A huge thank you to all who have contributed - a magnificent effort. Truly, amazing.
Anyway, now it's time to show us yer money!
Sandy has very kindly agreed to act as the banker* and the plan is to make payment to him so he can then pay the club. A huge thank you to sandy as it will make this process so much easier for us and the club (but not sandy, obviously).
Please can you PM sandbachhatter to agree the best way of making the payment - probably via BACS. If you PM sandy, he can provide his bank details. If you have done it this way before, it is still worth checking with sandy that you have the right details before making any payment.
Please can you agree payment with sandy this weekend and make any payment by the end of Sunday so we can pay the club early next week.
Anyone who still wishes to donate to the sponsorship fund can still PM me until the end of Friday.
Any questions, post them on here, or PM sandy directly. (It's the first time I've done this, so if any one want to add clarification or extra information please do - I won't be offended!)
Thanks

Good morning all,
Great news! We’ve met our target and can continue to sponsor both Jim and Alan for the 19/20 season.
A phenomenal effort, Heaveners!
As you know, sandy has kindly offered to act as the central point to collect all our pledges to pay the club.
We’ve got about half the money in so far, so could those who haven’t paid to do so now.
Please contact sandy via PM to make the arrangements. Sandy will make the payment to the club this week, and remember he is acting as banker in the sense of transacting the money, not providing a credit facility!
Thanks

Hi all
On the basis I've received a little over 75% of the amount due to the club, I've now settled their invoice rather than risk forgetting to pay by the deadline (as I have a busy few days at work before going away on Friday for a few days).
That does mean, however, I'm a little out of pocket now, so if anyone who hasn't yet paid could do so asap I'd appreciate it!
Cheers everyone!

To be honest, it was more that I'd rather have a balance that looks lower than it should, than one which looks a lot higher than it should! |

I'm happy to confirm that all the donations are now in and we have secured sponsorship for Jim and Alan for 2019/20 season again. A fantastic effort of which we should all be very proud.  Thanks for all who donated and a huge thanks to sandy for managing the payment to make it happen. |
