Programmethrower, FR have in the past approached local businesses to sponsor a calendar which we produced for a couple of years, but the club do one so we were asked not to step on their toes, plus the club were approaching the same businesses as well, so they have already given to the club and they don't have the spare for FR. We have done joint stuff with the players in the past for testamonials which generates quite a bit, so our hands are tied and the sponsor a try is now our biggest fund raiser and pays for equipment for the juniors.
As for facebook I have got bored with it, as somebody pointed out SCR's page has over 7k likes but i would reckon less than a thousand actually know who or what SCR are, people just tend to tick like because it gives them access to more "friends" and quite a few of the large compaines who were in the early days paying for advertising on facebook are now not investing as much because they don't get the returns on investment they had predicted.
To be honest I haven't a clue how facebook works i seem to get some notifications on email and other times i don't and i have only ever seen one debate on SCR on it and i can't find it now even I am a "member" of the group.
