Under-15s enjoy trip to mecca of rugby
The Bognor Regis depot of Covers Timber & Builders Merchants is sponsoring local motocross rider Dan Foden as he gears up to compete in the upcoming FIM Sidecar Motocross World Championship season.
Foden, alongside his sidecar partner Ryan Humphrey, competes in his spare time and will represent the UK on the world stage by racing in multiple countries including the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Germany, and Italy between April to September.
Foden commented: "We rely on the support of local companies from outside and within the motocross industry to help contribute towards the costs of racing nationally and internationally at a competitive level.
"Travelling, bike maintenance, rider kit, and entry fees can total up to over £50,000 in a racing season.
“Without the backing of these companies, success would not be possible - and in return, we are able to provide exposure in the form of advertising that will be viewed by those who see the bike and those who follow our social media.
"Our sponsors can also feel satisfied by watching our progress throughout the season and knowing they have played a role in bringing our results to life – thank you to Covers for their support."
Paul Allwright, Depot Manager at Covers in Bognor Regis, added: "At Covers, we are committed to supporting young people in our community who are doing great things.
"Dan Foden demonstrates the spirit of dedication and excellence, and we are proud to back him as he competes on the world stage.
"We wish Dan and Ryan the very best for the upcoming season and look forward to cheering them on every step of the way."

Chichester Rugby Club under-15s were on tour in the Bath area for an action packed weekend of activities and rugby.
The Saturday started with boating on the Avon canal, followed by a series of challenges in Bath historic city centre.
Sunday was a day of rugby, culminating in a chance for Chichester to go head to head with the famous Bath Rugby Club.
The game started well for both sides but Bath had the size advantage and dominated the contact with an impressive set of forwards.
Chichester conceded a penalty infringement near their try line and Bath powered over to score the first try.
Chichester came back strongly and tore them open in the midfield with a well worked try, scored and converted by Will Brown.
The second half saw a truly outstanding piece of play from Chichester, who capitilised on a Bath handling error.
The ball was shipped out to the wing, where Harry Clarke had space to put the burners on and score under the posts.
During the final part, Chichester began to tire, having had minimal sleep over the weekend, and let Bath back into the game.
Bath had the 'rub of the green' from some of the decisions and they were able to power over three times from rolling mauls which Chichester couldn't contain.
The final score was 22-14 to Bath.
This was a fantastic occasion and show of pride by Chichester against a strong Premiership club concluding another memorable tour weekend.
