NU-SS is the official snow sports club of the University of
Newcastle.
The club operates according to its two key values
• To bring students with the common interest of snow activities
together to network and socialise.
• To provide a platform for students to excel at a competitive
level in snow sports events.
Although Newcastle is considered to be particularly far away
from any form of snow the club is extremely active, holding
many social events as well as two large snow trips.
The following pages provide an insight into what the NU-SS is all
about.
What is NU-SS?
NU-SS Activities & Events
Every year NU-SS stages a variety of events both on and off
the snow. This is a general outline of the style of events which
organisations can become involved in through sponsorship.
Australian University Championships
The Australian University Championships (AUC) are the hallmark
event for the club. Each year around 600 students from
universities all over Australia come together for a week of
competition at either Mount Buller or Thredbo.
Social Trip – New Zealand
In 2011 the club held its first social trip to the snowfields in
southern New Zealand. After a large amount of success this trip is
already in the planning for 2012.
NU-SS Activities & Events
Rail Jams
One of the more unique events the club runs are rail jams.
Essentially a man made snow park for our members to
demonstrate their abilities, these events are always popular and
provide for spectacular viewing.
2011 saw us hold two rail jams in unusual locations, King Edward
Park and at the universities ‘Bar on the Hill’
Social events
Aside from our on snow activities we are also hold a host of social
events including our registration party, AUC and New Zealand trip
reunions and an end of year winery tour.
What the NU-SS can do for your organisation
NU-SS has a clear sponsorship philosophy, to provide
maximum value to our sponsors on their investment in a way
which is relevant to their organisation.
In order to create maximum flexibility for your organisation the
NU-SS has created a simple sponsorship structure.
The following pages outline what the club has to offer and the
benefits derived from each opportunity. We are able to create
a customised package based on the opportunities which would
be of most value to your organisation.
We are also open to other innovative ideas which you may
have in leveraging your products, services or brand.
Major Team Sponsorship
Becoming a major sponsor of the team is the highest form of
NU-SS sponsorship. This involves complete integration of your
businesses marketing messages with the activities of NU-SS.
Not only will your organisation enjoy the benefits listed below,
we are also able to create further unique marketing activities
which will aid achieving your organisations objectives.
Some of the benefits included are:
• Large exposure on all club apparel for 2012 including
Australian University Championships uniform
• Exposure online via our website & social media outlets
• Naming rights to one NU-SS event in 2012 (Includes all of
the associated benefits of event sponsorship)
• Unlimited use of NU-SS media items for commercial
purposes
• A number of call-to-action marketing opportunities
throughout 2012
Sponsorship Opportunities
Event Sponsorship
If major sponsorship is not the most suitable option for your
organisation you may want to consider event sponsorship. Event
sponsorship offers similar benefits to a major sponsorship on a
reduced scale. One event will be branded as per your instruction,
with associated exposure flowing on from the event.
Includes:
• Naming rights to a NU-SS event
• Signage at event
• Exposure online associated with the event
• Opportunities for further marketing presence at the event

Online Advertising
Online advertising is suitable for organisations who would like to
support NU-SS on a smaller scale.
For 2012 the club has an entirely redeveloped website which aims
to facilitate member interaction and content exposure. We are
forecasting in excess of 400 unique visitors to the site each month
during the year.
With this targeted growth online we are able to offer your
organisation the opportunity to capitalise on web traffic through
exposure.
Also not to be overlooked is the growing base NU-SS is developing
on social media, a medium which we are also able to offer the use
of in delivering messages.
Includes:
• Website exposure & integration with your organisations
marketing activities
• Social media exposure
