Having sponsored the current and, in fact, first ever tour
undertaken by a Chinese XI, and particularly, of course,
their visit last week to The Hawthorns, Wimpey are
proud to be associated, once again with the West Brom-
wich Albion Club for their Centenary Match against
Ajax of Holland this afternoon.
With recent announcements of sponsorship in other
major sports, Wimpey is contributing in no small way to
the preparations for the Olympic Games in Moscow
next year. The Company would like to wish the West
Bromwich Albion Club every success, not only for
today's match, but also for the forthcoming season.
Completing today's Sponsorship team, alongside
Wimpey, we are delighted to welcome David Gunn and
Dudley Tubes Limited past associates of W.B.A.
We of The Albion hope that everyone connected with
Messrs Wimpey and Dudley Tubes Limited, plus
everyone here today, enjoys the Birthday Party and trust
that you will be supporting us again, and again,
throughout our Centenary Season.
