The Thames Valley Kings made front page news in the Thatcham Observer newspaper with our ongoing sponsorship bid
Kings Head Coach, Jacqueline spoke with Observer reporter Adam Flinn - "It would be really great to have sponsorship on board to enable us to continue to expand as we have done over our history, The sports chairs themselves cost £2,500 each and a lot of funding in the past has gone on the cost of chairs, and we've bought 20 as a club in our lifetime."
"I'd like another couple of chairs, so a couple of thousand pounds would make a big difference But even £10 I would be chuffed with"
