We are proud to have the goodwill and enthusiasm of so many club members boosting us as we edge closer to our objective. –

Here are details of the two clubs and what each of them offers ...

The Quicksilver Corporate Club is tailored primarily to the requirements of the business community, although about one-fifth of the membership is made up of private individuals. Membership of the Quicksilver Corporate Club provides the opportunity to have your name (either company or individual) on the Quicksilver craft, enjoy corporate hospitality for you and your guests - be it customers, suppliers, personnel and media representatives, or simply family and friends - at special events, as well as receiving news/information packs and a framed membership certificate, and obtaining 20% discount on the team's SilverWear merchandise range.
This supporters' club is geared primarily to the requirements of owner-managed companies, although its membership comprises a broad spectrum of organisations and individuals - from companies, large and small, to professional organisations and private individuals from many walks of life.
At special events held at regular intervals, the Quicksilver Corporate Club provides corporate hospitality and networking opportunities for members and their clients, suppliers and personnel - and other guests, such as media contacts, friends and family.
These activities are conducted alongside the speed-record project as it unfolds, providing a unique level of access to this exciting international engineering and sporting adventure.
A target of 100 members was set when the club was inaugurated in March 2002. To date we have far exceeded that target, with over 300 members already joined - and the number is growing steadily!
Membership of the Quicksilver Corporate Club is obtained with a one-off enrolment fee of £395. There are no further charges.
The rights and privileges of Quicksilver Corporate Club membership are as follows:
Corporate hospitality For members and their clients, suppliers, personnel and other guests at special events held at regular intervals at the Quicksilver team's HQ at East Midlands International Airport. There is the opportunity to view the Quicksilver craft, currently under construction, at close quarters, with ample time to ask questions. Numerous technical team members are present at these events.
Our HQ is situated just one mile from the M1 motorway, between Nottingham, Derby and Leicester. Access is straightforward and there is ample parking space.
Name on the Quicksilver craft The name of every club member (either company or individual) will appear in a prominent position on the craft, in the team's distinctive house-style Arial bold typeface.
Framed membership certificate Customised and colourful, for office reception area or home. The certificate is imaginatively illustrated, individually signed by Nigel and individually numbered, and bears the member's name (company or individual).
Laminated wallet-sized membership card Individually numbered and bearing the same name as the certificate, a card is issued to every member and a replica of each card is exhibited as part of a permanent display at the Quicksilver team's HQ.
News/information packs These are colourful and informative, and are issued at regular intervals. Members can hand them out to clients, suppliers or media contacts, or place them in their office reception area.
20% discount on Quicksilver merchandise This may be useful if members wish to purchase items of Quicksilver-branded merchandise for employee incentive schemes, or for promotional purposes - such as for competition prizes.
Networking opportunities Club events provide opportunities to make useful contacts. Members are from many professions. Media representatives are often present at these events, or can be invited by members if they so wish. Membership of the club, standing at 300 and counting, offers many possibilities.
