One of our old pro's was B&S sponsored. His bat was a gun, he scored nearly 2000 runs with it in a year and the guy who he gave it to scored over 1000 runs the next year.

Hi Guys thank you for the very warm welcome I hope we have a long and enjoyable ride .As I am on I would like to just advise how my time on the site will be spent.
1) I will not be using this site for any form of selling.
2) There will be no direct selling to any forum members
3) Apart from my banner being advertised on here I will not be promoting my online site at all
4) As of tomorrow my bat prices on my site will be going up to £260.00 L/E and £210.00 Scorch the softs will stay the same.
5) Now some of you will say well why bother I will explain

I would like to use the site as an information base for  new product up dates, Player signings and any questions relating to Bellingham and Smith product wise and cricket wise.
At present Vitas Cricket and Batting 4 6 are currently stocking my products I would like to thank Robin (mostly Dusty for all the updates on the forum) and Mark in taking the plunge I have no doubt you wont be regretting it.
I hoping in the very near future to be adding Its Just Cricket and UZI sports to this list you will be kept updated my RETAILERS are very important to me and if I can grow the number to eight country wide and unit numbers are up  I will stop selling on line and turn the site into a information site I guess doubling up from this site essentially (thank goodness for spell check).Please use your nearest or most favourite retailer there advise and customer support they give I am sure will be FIRST CLASS
Please any questions or concerns you may have don't hesitate to ask once again Thank you for the warm WELCOME
Gary

Welcome Gary.

I'm not naive enough to think everyone on the forum reads my numerous posts about one of my favourite cricket brands, so hopefully B&S becoming sponsors will help to spread the word.
