U.S Sponsorship for
WGI Tour 1999

We are pleased to announce that Mayflower
have obtained a substantial sponsorship deal
from the US. We can now confirm that the
forthcoming WGI tour will once again be
heavily subsidised, enabling our members to
not only compete at the Championships in
Dayton, but to also take in a holiday prior
to the WGI Finals, possibly this year in
Florida. After the success of last years
tour our Guard are eagerly looking
forward to 1999, and with such an exciting
programme for '99 we are all convinced
that the '99 show will take us
even further into Finals.

Membership News

With so many Corps struggling to retain numbers,
and Mayflower having been in that position so many
times in the past, it is encouraging at the moment
to see the growth of Mayflower. In the past few
weeks we have picked up an extra 12 new Corps
members, bringing our Corps membership to 36. Our
Senior Guard continues to grow with more enquiries
coming in all the time, it would seem that a 20 +
Guard is certainly on the cards for next season,
and with an early start to the Winterguard season,
it looks like Mayflower will once again be in strong
contention with an extremely powerful show.
