The 2015-2016 season is shaping up to be a big one
for Newcastle University Boat Club (NUBC),
marking the 55th year since the clubs foundation in
1961. In the coming year we look forward to
participating in a number of exciting events
including Australian University Championships, to
be held in Adelaide in September. We also look
forward to co-hosting the Head of the Hunter
Marathon, with Newcastle Boat Club. In order for
the club to continue to grow and be able to take
part in these endeavours, we are looking to the
community for financial support to help achieve
our goals over the coming year.
This year NUBC faces a number of large expenses
that present considerable challenges for a small
club. These include a variety of new equipment
purchases to keep pace with the clubs expansion
and the extra requirements that are associated with
a more competitive squad.
The recent interest from club members in rowing
smaller boats places a large demand on the few
doubles and pairs we have, and NUBC is seriously
lacking options for elite level rowers. A major goal
for this year is the purchase of new riggers to allow
flexibility in the use of our elite small boats, at a
cost of up to $1000. NUBC are also very
interested in the purchase of a new double, which
could cost up to $12, 000.
We also face considerable expenses in maintaining
our existing fleet and turning over equipment to
facilitate competition and training at all levels.
Contained within this package is an outline of our
events and the possible marketing and advertising
opportunities they present, as well as an outline of
the sponsorship packages we have put together. We
are more than willing to discuss any ideas you
have, and are happy to be flexible and put together
a package that best suits the needs of your business.
If you have any questions, or wish to discuss
further any details of this prospectus, please do not
hesitate to contact us. We look forward to your
support in 2015-16.

Thank you for taking the time to view our 2015-16 sponsorship prospectus.
Founded in 1961 by Godfrey Tanner, Newcastle University Boat Club (NUBC) represents an important part of the
University's history. As a student run club NUBC prides itself on its innovative and fresh approach to rowing. Within
this environment students have the opportunity to enjoy a team sport, gain skills through participation in the running
of the club and boat maintenance and maintain balance in university life.

President 2015
In 2015, NUBC is looking to build on
seasons past and perform even
stronger this year. The most highly
anticipated event on our calendar is
the annual Australian University
Rowing Championships. Competition
is immense and members invest a
great deal of time in effort in their
preparation. 2013 was NUBC’s most
successful Championships ever,
coming away with two silver and one
bronze medal. We had a solid
performance in 2014 with some
highly commendable results, however
we are hoping to build upon these
results come October when we head
down to Adelaide.
Local regattas run by
the Central Districts
Rowing Association
(CDR A) p ro vide
excellent competition
and are a great
o p p o r t u n i t y t o
introduce our new
members to racing. We
plan to field strong crews to claim the
Sweep Oar Point Score Championship
and The Throsby Gift Relaying
numerous other CDRA Championship
events.
NUBC also has a strong presence at
Rowing NSW regattas and travels to
Sydney regularly throughout the
season. A testament to the quality of
the club, NUBC have attended the last
five National Championships, with
fantastic results in A Finals including
a gold and silver medal in 2013.
Each season, NUBC hosts two
regattas attracting competitors from as
far as Port Macquarie and Sydney,
providing a great opportunity for
sponsors to market their brand. This
coming August, NUBC, Newcastle
and Endeavour Rowing Clubs will
host the annual Hunter Marathon, a
fantastic off-season event and great
training tool in preparation for
University Championships.
Competition aside, we
are a very active social
club and hold a number
of events throughout
the year. Our trivia
night and annual dinner
are club favourites and
well attended by club
members, family,
friends, the rowing
c o m m u n i t y a n d
NUsport dignitaries.
With our continued growth and strong
performances on local, state and
national stages, NUBC presents a
fantastic opportunity for sponsors to
support a community club and gain
exposure through their sport.

As you receive this sponsorship prospectus we are well into our pre-
season training and preparation for the racing season, which begins
in September. NUBC will be hosting the following events over the
2015-2016 season:
This year will be a particularly busy one
for the club as we work hard to
fundraise for the University Games
team. We are hosting a
range of events, as well as our usual regattas and have
included some details to give a better idea of what NUBC does.

HEAD OF THE HUNTER MARATHON The Hunter Marathon begins in Newcastle Harbour and winds its way 46.5km up the
Hunter River to finish at our shed at Berry Park. Re-introduced to the region in 2011,
this has been a very popular event over the past four years and is seen as a great
introduction to the racing season.
PRE-IV REGATTA Hosted by NUBC in September as a warm up for the University Championships, Pre-
IV is the first regatta of the racing season . This event usually sees a diverse range of
rowers competing in over 50 races. The event is attended by not only Central Districts
Rowing Association affiliated clubs but also a number of clubs from Sydney and other
districts.
NUBC REGATTA In October NUBC hosts our second regatta. With approximately 50 races and a raft of
competitors from the CDRA and other districts, it is always an exciting day. As our
regatta with the highest level of attendance, NUBC will be encouraging sponsorship of
races, allowing exposure for sponsors to a large range of attendees from both local
clubs and attendees from farther afield.
NUBC TRIVIA NIGHT The NUBC Trivia night is our biggest fundraising event of the year. It is well attended
with support from families, friends, university students and the local rowing
community.
NUBC ANNUAL DINNER Held at the end of November, this event sees both current and past club members come
together to celebrate the successes of the year. It is a time for recognizing the
achievements of club members and contributors.
