Sponsorship

The main sponsors of MYJO are currently as follows;

1) UNISON. After a successful period of sponsorship from UNISON, East Midlands, MYJO is now supported by the West Midlands section of the union. This sponsorship has enabled the band to pay for rent of rehearsal rooms, new music stands, new specialist instruments, rent of office equipment, portable staging, upkeep for van, etc for which we are very grateful. This is much appreciated, and will be of considerable benefit to MYJO.

2) The PATIENTS’ AID ASSOCIATION of Wolverhampton distribute our mailing list several times a year. Apart from the savings in cost, we are also grateful to them for the savings in time which this assistance gives to us.

3) MAINLY BIG BANDS. This mail order company specialising in the sale of Big Band CD’s and sheet music for big bands has been a constant help to us over many years, not least in advertising our orchestra on its own website. Many thanks to John Killoch.

4) Other organisations, such as the MUSICIANS UNION, Alan Ogden of INDEPENDENT COMMUNICATION SOLUTIONS and SAGA 105.7FM Radio, have all helped the MYJO organisation on many occasions, and for this we are very grateful. We would also like to thank the many private individuals who have supported MYJO.

5) We also thank our honorary accountant, Mr. ROY CROSBY of Austral Crosby Chartered Accountants for his continued support of MYJO.

The MYJO ASSOCIATION LTD is a company limited by guarantee (i.e. non-profit making), which oversees the distribution of any funds to the three bands. If you are interested in supporting the MYJO, either as a main sponsor or on a one-off basis, please initially contact John Ruddick on 01675 442050 or email us by pressing the button on the left . We will be pleased to discuss any help which you may be prepared to give us, and hope that you may also benefit from involvement with an excellent youth organisation. (See MYJO ORGANISATION)
