Local companies were invited to enter the annual sponsorship draw for the sum of £25 each.

The winning company will have its name on the back of the club's sweatshirts and overalls, on all of Harlequin's advertising merchandise, and also an advertising plaque on the generator which travels to all of the Carnivals.

Harlequin's sponsor last year was Townsend Garage, of Tintinhull, and the club would like to thank them for all of their help and support throughout the 2007 Carnival season.
