Kings Announce Membership Scheme
Following the recent fdrive to raise sponsorship for a new kit, Kings have decided to adopt a simlar approach to Barcelona by asking for member donations. Not only will this provide the new kit but help the charity Faith in Football.
Heres a message from the Gaffer:- Dear all, This is an invite to become a member of MVC Kings Football Club. What I purpose is that much like Barcelona we have "members" of the club who pay an initial fee to the club and we do not have a sponsor but instead sponsor a charity. Half of every amount donated will go to the charity Faith & Football. Faith & Football is a Christian charity set up by professional footballers Linvoy Primus and Darren Moore which seeks to serve needy youngsters and their families in cities in the UK and provide support for Christian projects abroad, at the same time sharing the Christian faith with those who have a common interest in football. This also ties in well with the club(s) we run and the league we are in. The other half dontated will go towards the new kit we need fot next season and we will have the Faith & Football Logo on the front of the shirts (instead of a sponsor). Any money donated over and above what we need for the kit will also be donated to the Faith & Football charity. We need £350-£400 to pay towards the new kit (£700-£800 in total donations) Please got to www.faithandfootball.org.uk for more information. It would be really amazing if we could get as many members as possible, raising money for the charity and really get this idea out there so that other football teams could do it and instead of having corporate businesses on the front of their shirts they too had some kind of charity, like Barcelona have with Unicef. Any amount whether it be £1 or £100 will be appreciated. A list of members and their donations will be set up on our website and we will also set up a group on facebook along with a link to the league website - www.solent.leaguerepublic.com (Solent Churches League, we play in Division 2) Being the Manager of the team I need to set an example so I will start off with a donation of £50(£25.00 for Kit, £25.00 to Faith and Football) Please please pass the message onto anyone you think maybe interested, friends/family/work colleagues/church groups etc, please spread the word about faith and football. Let me know what you think of the idea and any amount you wish to donate. MVC Kings have their first friendly on Saturday 26th July at Shedfield Recreation Ground (opposite "Samuel's Rest" Pub) SO32 2JB Kick Off at 10:30am. Please feel free to come along and watch. Kind Regards Rob Sanders
