Carlton is seeking a main club sponsor for 2012.

In addition, our new women's team is in need of a sponsor to cover their costs in preparing for, and playing in, the Scottish league for the first time ever.

As Scotland's champions, we command a healthy slice of national press coverage. Carlton draws widespread coverage in both the printed and online media, and will be celebrating our 150th anniversary in 2013. Our relationship with local sports reporters helps us to ensure that coverage makes mention of key sponsors and commercial partners wherever possible and appropriate.

The income from the senior club sponsorship is a vital element in the funding of our coaching programme throughout the summer. The sponsorship covers branding on all 1st team playing shirts (white league tops and cup-tie coloured tops) and training tops; ground banner advertising, match programme branding, website front page branding, press coverage (e.g. launch of sponsorship, announcement of new club initiatives); and any other coverage related to senior cricket that the sponsor and the club come up with.

With an estimated 12,000 active cricketers of all ages in Scotland and with popularity rising due to the success of the Twenty:20 game, cricket has a higher sporting profile than ever before. As a leading club, we're naturally keen to attract commercial partners to share in our success and to help us fund ambitious projects vital to the future development of the club and our young players.

Hosting the best quality club cricket in Scotland, Grange Loan provides a prestigious marketing opportunity with convenient parking and proximity to the City centre.

All ground advertising remains in place during the cricket season and is prominently displayed to club members, visiting spectators and players as well as parents of Carlton's various junior teams and their opposition.

In addition to the main club sponsorship, there are a number of opportunities available:

• Team Sponsors (for one of our 4 senior XIs plus our women's team)
• Boundary Advertising
• Match Sponsorship
• Programme/Website Advertising
