Re: Is this fair?

Sponsorship of sports kits/tours seems to me to be a sensible way of reducing costs (nb. not raising revenue, just cancelling out necessary expenditure). CH gets a good degree of media coverage for a school due to it's activities and traditions, why not make use of this in the most effective way?
