Why sponsor an indoor bowls club
Jim Baker Stadium is one of the best indoor bowls venues in Ireland. Members and visitors come through the doors every day from September to Easter, from across Antrim, Down and further afield, and the building hosts national and international events on top of the club's own leagues and championships. That is a lot of local people, week in and week out, seeing who backs the club.
Sponsorship here is designed to work both ways. Members are given the list of sponsors and actively encouraged to use them — anyone who does can put their receipt into a monthly draw at the club. Sponsors get signage, screen time on the TVs around the building, social media and email promotion, and a stake in the club through social memberships and a tab to spend on the day.
There are three set packages, plus extras for anyone who would rather put their name to a league, a tournament or one of the club teams. Tailored packages can be negotiated too — tell us what would suit your business and we will build something around it.
- Monthly sponsor promotion emails to members
- Your logo on the club homepage, linked to your own site
- Social media and website advertising
- An invitation to the dedicated sponsors day

The features in detail
What each line in the table actually means.
Signage at the club
Signage of an agreed size, displayed in a prominent location on the club premises. Design, layout and provision of the sign are yours unless we agree otherwise.
Sponsor of the week
Once in season and once out of it you are promoted as the club's sponsor of the week, aligned to dates that suit you. That means extra coverage in the building — the screens, the tables — plus a dedicated email and social media push.
In-club TV advertising
The club already has promotional screens throughout the building. Through opening hours they cycle every sponsor at this level, and we will use video if you can provide it.
Social memberships
It is a sponsorship, so we want you involved in the club. Gold takes five social memberships and silver two, allocated to staff you choose. They cover social use of the club — and of course they can bring guests.
Club credit on account
Come and spend time here. Your tab covers bowling sessions, the bar and restaurant, and club merchandise — the best way to see first-hand what you are supporting.
Club function room hire
The rooms suit a business function as well as a private one, and your level sets what the booking fee costs. Booking is essential.
Monthly sponsors promotion
Members get a reminder every month to support the club's sponsors. Tell us about a sale or a special and it goes in.
Your logo on the homepage
The sponsors board sits on the club's own front page, grouped by tier, and every logo links straight out to that business's website. It is the first page anybody arriving at the club online sees.
Social media and website
The club has an active social page and a professional website, and there is plenty of room to feature a business on both. We remind people to support sponsors regularly.
Dedicated sponsors day
A day to visit and enjoy the place: a social game of bowls for you, your family and your friends, in a thoroughly relaxed atmosphere.
