“I’ve been looking at ways that I could give back to the community that has given me so much support since I started my motorsport career and this works just perfectly. My role as an SS&A Club Ambassador will involve working with the club’s affiliated sporting clubs, schools, the youth and of course the club’s large membership base,” Jones added.
“As part of the arrangement, local people will have better access to me and the entire Brad Jones Racing team. We plan to have my OzEmail Falcon inside the club at certain times of the year and run a number of promotions that will give Border residents the chance to come on a hotlap with me or join the team for a race weekend,” he said.
The SS&A Club are one of the largest financial supporters of the region’s sporting community and according to CEO, Andrew Terry, an association with one of the biggest names was a natural progression -
"The SS&A Club is proud to support Brad Jones and the Brad Jones Racing Team. Brad Jones is an outstanding sportsman who continues to excel at the highest level and we are proud that he has come on board as an SS&A Club Ambassador. The SS&A Club and Brad Jones are both passionate about the region and we look forward to cementing a long and prosperous relationship."
It is believed that Brad Jones’ Ambassadorship will run for a minimum of five years, a deal that shows the commitment to the concept by both parties.
“Just like Andrew [Terry] said, we have signed this agreement with the sole purpose of it being a long term benefit to all concerned, especially the people of Albury/Wodonga,” Jones concluded.
Jones will assist the SS&A Club in its involvement with the many sporting codes it supports including the Ovens and Murray Football League, cricket, hockey and a host of others, imparting on the region’s up and coming sporting stars a level of knowledge that has made him one of the most respected and successful sportsman in his field.
