Hornets Race Night
The successful 'Kit Builder' scheme is back, renamed as 'Squad Builder'
Members, supporters and sport enthusiasts alike have the chance to get their name on the Hornets kit for 2015 whilst supporting Ian Talbot get the best squad in place for the 2015 season.
For £20 you purchase a place in a draw which takes place at the end of season presentation.
Three winners are drawn at random to get their name on the collar of the playing and replica kits.
This year, all of the people that enter the draw will receive a 10cm x 10cm (approx) 'patch' on the away kit which will feature a photo of choice sublimated onto the design of the shirt, with three winners again selected to feature on the collar of the away player and replica jerseys.
The money raised from the 2014 kit builder was used towards funding flight costs for Fiji international Ryan Millard to join up with Hornets as well as providing funds to purchase dietary supplements for the entire squad.
