Hahaha, good luck with that.

Noones going to sponsor you until you can prove to them that you know what you're doing and you've got a fully completed, professional-looking project to show.

Yeah, I second that.

If you had produced a game, and all proceeds would go toward funding your club, you'd get a good response providing that you put some effort into the game.

As it is, you've just joined and you've not produced anything yet. Honestly, most people never really produce anything, so support will naturally be limited to those that have.

Good luck.

You may also elaborate more thoroughly on what you mean by "sponsor us".

And I'm head of a really evil corporation looking to take over your club for our own evil ends. We'll quite happily pay really large amounts for it - say for example 5p...

I think a few more days of mocking this post will do. Then we can evilily lock it with the Lock Of Evil.

What does a HS club need sponsorship for? Can't you all just use the school machines?

I ran a computer repair club back in HS. We met after school for A+ learning. Teachers could create a trouble ticket and send it to the lab. Whenever any of us had a study hall we could check to see if there were any tickets and go fix the problem.

You'd be surprised what I could find inside a floppy drive.

Lordcorm some of the comments in this post do not reflect TGC in any way.
Be aware of scambaiting techniques and pure dry convictions from some as sarcasm.
Have a look in your local government website for funding of the arts and sciences.
your dads friend who owns a company may sponsor you or some larger companies might invest etc..

....and thus it shall be well and truly locked. What was the count again?

@Lordcorm....Welcome. I think that what you will find here is more advice....tons more sarcasm, and like-minded individuals that...like the members of your club - enjoy programming.

I will gladly donate my Timex-Sinclair 2068 with software...or QuickC for Windows, or a metric ton of programming books. Also, I can give you some DBPro code if you need any more of that.

Happy Coding!

@Lordcorm -
In order to get sponsored, you actually have to produce something first. People don't get sponsored for no reason, you get sponsored because you or your group is exceptionally talented. Make a great game then your prospects will be better.
