The Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks are proud to announce Oporto as the Official Partner of the 2012 Sharks Membership Program.
Joining the Sharks family as the major sponsor of the Oporto Mermaids this season, the popular restaurant will return to the Club next year in an extended capacity. The Oporto partnership marks a positive and important step for the future of the Sharks Membership Program, which will undergo a series of changes in 2012.
"We feel that it is important to enhance the Membership experience for our Members by providing better value for money as well as second to none customer service. Teaming up with Oporto provides us with a fantastic springboard to achieve both of those goals" explained Jardian Ormsby, Membership Manager of the Cronulla Sharks.
The Sharks head into the next Membership drive with new goals and a new Membership team from years passed.
"I believe people would view Membership differently if they were properly informed of its significance. Educating the average fan to understand the importance of Membership will certainly be one of our goals heading into the new season.
"With the exception of Jessica Ciccia, who knows the Membership game as well as anybody in the NRL, we have a new Membership team and a have set up a new Membership structure to carry forward our goals."
Although many of the details surrounding next years Membership Program are being kept under wraps, the Club did release a few details and dates to remember for Membership.
"The Members Jersey will be back next season. We're the only Club in Australian sport that does this and we look forward to carrying it into the future every year. It's one way we can show our Members appreciation for their sacrifices to the Club and we'll definitely keep it going.
"We're keeping the jersey design a secret for now, but it will be unveiled at a Membership Launch Party in late September that will kick start our 2012 Membership drive and be free for all to attend.
"We've carefully selected what to include in each package, with the 'value for money' factor weighing heavily into our planning."
The Sharks will also be incorporating Club Icons, Legends and Immortals into their 2012 Membership Campaign.
"We've had a few tough years on field and we felt it important to remind our Members and Fans of the good times that we had here; and that they're not too far away from returning. We contacted Gavin Miller, Cliff Watson, Greg Pierce, David Peachey, Les Davidson, Mitch Healey and a handful more - including members of the original team of 1967 – who were each more than happy to lend their time to help our drive. Like so many of our Members today, these gentleman have continued to bleed black, white and blue over the years."
Membership will officially go on sale on September 27th at 9:00AM
