PROJECT 37.png

Project 37. So named in honour of our much loved and respected friend and brother Paul Hutchison, who so embodied the spirit of our club and all we stand for.
Paul stood as an example of a loyal, and generous man and will forever more serve us as a moral compass that reminds us of what it means to be apart of the Bentleigh Community.
Project 37 is a provident fund and by definition stands to care and provide for the welfare of BFNC members and associates, business partners, sponsors or community members who may have fallen on unforeseen, desperate or difficult times.

THE DRAGON CLUB

Coterie Group

The Dragon Club was formed in 2013 by a group of 10 business men, all past players of the Bentleigh Football Netball Club and all passionate about the club. The members, most of whom did not have time to dedicate to the club full time wanted to find a way to support the club in their own time and utilizing their own specialist skills.

​

The Dragon Club does not run the Club but operates in conjunction with the Football Netball Club. The Dragon Club’s focus is on business partnerships, marketing and sponsorship. Building and growing an extensive network of business partnerships, products and services.

​

Through this we seek to not only benefit the Bentleigh Football Netball Club but also create pathways and opportunities for young men and women in our community. We also seek to contribute to the community through charitable donation and our own provident fund.

​

The Dragon Club will be the major driver behind a Season Launch each year and continue the long and much loved tradition of the Sponsors lunch and ever growing Dragon Club business lunch.

2019 BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP PACKAGES

On behalf of the committee and players of the Bentleigh Football Netball Club and the Dragon Club we would like to thank you for providing the opportunity for our Club representative to present a partnership/advertising proposal to your organization. We never take our business partners for granted and understand that without developing mutually beneficial relationships with our business partners that local community clubs like ours would struggle to survive.

Our aim is to achieve long term relationships that are mutually beneficial for both parties, giving our business partners both value for money and promotion of their business. We are aware that business partners seek return on investment and believe we have the network and promotional capacity to ensure this in season 2020 and beyond.

The challenges for the Bentleigh Football Netball Club lie not only on the field, but off the field. Whilst the club provides a great opportunity for those living in our community to both play and support Australian Rules Football there are significant costs associated with fielding 4 football teams (Seniors, Reserves and Under 19’s.,& Women’s ) and 4 Netball teams. Business partnership plays a significant part in allowing the club to meet its costs. We are a not for profit organisation, run by volunteers. This means that your sponsorship would go directly towards the running of the club and support of our community partners.

 

    • We currently have a registered playing list totalling 160, including netballers and women’s footballers,

    • These numbers are supported by off field personnel and social members totalling approx. 40.

    • We have 410 past players registered on our official mailing list and our junior affiliate club, the Bentleigh Juniors, have a list totalling 250 players plus parents and club officials and the Bentleigh Auskick Program has over 170 children enrolled.

    • All of these members added together allows us to provide significant community exposure for your business.

 

Season 2013 saw the introduction of a strategic business plan implemented by the Coterie group. This plan was proven to be successful again in 2014, 2015 , 2016, 2017, 2018 and it is the intention of all of the coterie group to be 100% committed to continuing this plan in 2020 and beyond.
