WEST MERSEA CRICKET CLUB

In (2021) we celebrated the 100th year that cricket as been played at its current location, The Glebe West Mersea, history says the Cricketing Mussetts - Mersea Cricket Club is allegedly one of the oldest established in the country. At one time the whole of the first team were Mussetts.

We believe sponsorship of our club will deliver value based on a marketing investment for financial return, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), or for the love of the club.

Whatever your motivation, find out more below. Thank you for visiting our profile.

WHY SPONSOR US?

As a successful, self-financing club, West Mersea Cricket Club's only source of income (other than holding fundraising events) is by relying on the generosity of local individuals and businesses to provide funding.  Providing quality opportunities and experiences for players, does come at a high cost to the club and, without these contributions, the club would not be able to exist in its current form or be able to achieve the goals it has set for itself in the medium to long term.

The club is not-for-profit and reinvests all monies raised back into the club for the good of the community.  

Being part of the Two counties division and our links with Essex Cricket Club, means your marketing investment can be focussed to maximise value to your business.  With matches every Saturday throughout the summer we have lots of exposure with players from north Essex visiting.

The club has a flexible approach to sponsorship, with perks ranging from, but not limited to:

- company logo & link on social media posts and website's sponsors' page

- physical advertisement on club assets

- opportunities to advertise at club events

- invites to club events
