As the president of NU-SS I am incredibly excited about the year which
we have ahead of us in 2013.
With a view to increase our membership base, events and performances
in competition I believe this is will be a huge year for our club.
I am proud to be able to present to you our sponsorship prospectus for
this exciting year.
I look forward to working with you.
Pat Davis-Meehan
President, NU-SS
Thank you for taking the time to consider sponsorship opportunities
with NU-SS for 2013!
With a year full of exciting events ahead of us, we are actively seeking
support from businesses in conducting such activities and events.
Due to this great variety, there are numerous opportunities to promote
your business and leverage its products through our events.
I would like to invite you to see what we have to offer as a club and ask
you to consider supporting us this year.
Regards,
Hannah Lambert
Sponsorship Liaison, NU-SS
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
slopes. This is a general outline of the style of events which
organisations can become involved in through sponsorship
opportunities.
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. In 2013,
the event will be held at Thredbo.
Social Trip – New Zealand
In 2011 the club held its first overseas social trip to the snowfields
in southern New Zealand. After a large amount of success, the trip
occurred again in 2012, and the dates are now set for 2013.
NU-SS Activities & Events
Rail Jams
One of the more unique events the club organises is that of 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.
2012 saw us hold two rail jams in unusual locations, King Edward
Park and at the university’s own ‘Bar on the Hill’.
Social events
Aside from our on snow activities we also hold a host of social
events including our registration party during ‘Orientation Week’,
AUCs, New Zealand trip reunions and an end of year get-together.
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.
Inclusion on the 2013 Team Uniform
A presence on the team uniform is one of the most coveted
opportunities for organisations. The club uniform is worn by
club members competing at the Australian University
Championships in Snow Sports, to be held at Thredbo in
2013. The uniform is a highly respected item by club
members, all competitors and spectators.
Your organisation will have a presence on the 2013 uniform
as we compete in front of large crowds. The uniform is a
perpetual item often worn for many years by past and
present club members.

Sponsorship Opportunities
Naming rights to our Bar on The Hill Rail Jam
As previously outlined, our Bar on the Hill Rail Jam (pictured
below) is a hallmark event each year for the club. Obtaining
naming rights to the event will ensure that your organisation’s
logo is incorporated into the event poster, event promotional
email and social media posts.
Your brand will also have a highly visible presence at the event in
the form of signage (to be provided by the sponsor). There is also
the possibility to arrange marketing activations during the event.
