Stoke Travel, named for that dangerous activity among teens, not the town in Northern England (watch this video on the dangers of being stoked) are a company well-versed in the art of showing their guests how to party, especially on their Basque Country Van Surfari.

Reflecting upon our experience having started and been part of Surf Club committees not that long ago, we have comprised a few quick reasons why you should apply to take the reigns and ownership of your club.

Almost one year ago to the day, we (SPONSURF) were lucky enough to be involved with the first ever Lost Cove Festival. Below is a brief outline of our weekend which hopefully will encourage you to pile into the minibuses and head down to this years' event!

Here at SPONSURF we take an interest far beyond that of just running surf trips for university groups.

So, with this in mind, we set about trying to find some alternatives to keep you all going during term time. Drum roll please...

How and why to get sponsors for your university club or society 

Sponsors for university clubs or societies are not a new concept. They have been around for years and have supported clubs in many ways from funding to providing team kit and of course the one that none could do without...drink discounts! Getting companies and brands to support you is awesome because you can piggyback off their established reputation to make your clubs look even better. However, it is time to start thinking about this more clearly...
