Announcing the OSA Partnership with Beartown Brewery

We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with Beartown Brewery to be our official beer partner for the next 12 months.

Beartown will provide selected discounts and offers for all Old Sandbachians via the association, with full members receiving the best offers.

President of the Old Sandbachians Association, Mark Bowland, said;

“We have been looking to find new ways to enhance the member experience and increase the value the subscription offers, and this is the first of several ideas in the pipeline. Beartown is an award winning local brewery with which many of our members will be familiar. As well as the discounts to members, Beartown will be the beer provider at the Annual Lunch and any other events where we have our own bar. Our hope is that Old Sandbachians will sign up to the great offers and drive traffic to the Beartown website. We will not be making any profit through the offers, but the benefit for the OSA should be to increase our full membership.”

The initial offering is in 3 parts.
