News from WATERS
For immediate release: 15TH August 2011
Staff at Waters St Albans have been putting something back into the local community by sponsoring Welwyn & District Bowls Club.
Since being approached by the bowls club, the dealership on Lyon Way, has sponsored the organisation’s events by providing prize money and attending at tournaments.
Waters St Albans Sales Manager, David Carrigan, said the partnership came from a meeting with a club member who had bought a Renault from the dealership recently.
He said: “We wanted to give back to our local community and after one of the members came in we got chatting.
“He mentioned the club and what they did and also said they were looking for some sponsorship.
“So far we have donated prize money for a tournament, as well as going down to some of the bigger events they have had, taking Renault cars down with us.
“It’s all very worthwhile and something we really wanted to do.”
Mr Carrigan explained that the bowls club had also held a barbecue for Renault staff from the dealership last month, to give them a taster of the sport.
Mike Poole, membership secretary at the bowls club said: “It is not easy to get support and sponsorship, so we hope it will continue. Maybe some of the staff might even decide they want to become members.
“We want to try and support Waters St Albans in any way we can, as we are very grateful and feel this is a two-way partnership.”
