ViVien KylesChief executive

A very warm welcome to our 2011 season. i do hope you will come through the gates at the racecourse this year and see what a great programme we have planned for you. The team has been busy putting together a super array of racing and entertainment to interest everyone, young or old, for business or pleasure.

We have a couple of new dates for 2011, including the local Holiday Monday at the end of september, and we also have some new dining offerings created from your feedback both in our fabulous Dukes Restaurant and in the marquees. i’m sure there is something there to fit your budget, whatever its size.

i am also very pleased to welcome some new sponsors on board this year who will be helping to make our racemeetings even bigger and better than before. We also have some fantastic music acts booked to complement your visit to the races and allow you to dance the night away after the last race has been won.

Hamilton Park really has become “more than just a racecourse”. in 2010 we welcomed record numbers through the gates to events beyond the racing season; from concerts to weddings, to private parties and school proms. Keep up to date with what’s on via our website www.hamilton-park.co.uk.

i look forward to meeting you at Hamilton Park in 2011.

Kind Regardsco

“The Tote’s association with Hamilton Park extends from the opening racemeeting to the closing Autumn Finale. As such our relationship with the racecourse goes well beyond that of a traditional sponsor. With Hamilton it is a true partnership and we work very closely with the management team to ensure that our commercial objectives are met, not just in terms of getting a return on investment through race sponsorship, but also by driving real value for both parties with a range of joint sales and marketing initiatives throughout the season.”

Jason Brautigam, Director of Racecourse Business, Totepool

awareness, promote their products or simply add that special ViP experience to their guests’ day out.

Among the benefits of sponsorship are highly visible branding on course, on screen and in the race programme as well as

the opportunity for you and your clients to present prizes to your race winner in the Winners’ enclosure; the very centre of the

day’s action.

We offer a variety of packages to suit everyone’s budget starting from as little as £750 for a support race to full raceday

sponsorship which includes full course branding, inclusive hospitality and multiple race sponsorship guaranteeing maximum

exposure through all media outlets.
