The aim of our annual sponsorship of local sporting clubs is to assist, develop, promote, and encourage all sporting and community activities in and around the Tumut region. 

We sponsor local teams each year including the Tumut Bulls Rugby Club and Tumut Plains Cricket Club. 

We are proud to contribute significant sponsorship funds to assist local sporting organisations and are constantly looking at new ways to engage and support.

It’s important to give something back to our community.
