Hello all,
So after a lot of work behind the scenes, and persuading Paul and Amos to agree to let me run this whole thing (terrible idea!), I've finally got some concrete news for everyone.
The IJC Christmas Event will take place on Tuesday 15th December, starting at 5PM, and extending to 11PM.

We are going to be having the usual fully stocked beer fridge, and some nibbles too, as well as the new ranges from nearly all of the new 2016 brands.
Further to this, we wanted to make it a little bit different, and so we have 5 speakers lined up on the day who will give talks, to help make this something more than just beer and bats!
Phantom Cricket
Phantom have kindly agreed to come along and talk about their brand, and how they are so, so much more than just a stickering company. They will also have some very special deals on bats and gloves for Christmas, which I will announce over the next couple of days. Aftab is such a passionate guy, and the quality of his stuff so high, I think a lot of people who see Phantom for the first time will be blown away!
Charlie French Cricket
Charlie has been presenting at cricket clubs for a while now, giving talks about exactly how he makes his bats from hand, and explaining in detail the processes he uses. He also has some pretty revolutionary analysis on sweet spots, which Paul himself said "could change the market" - high praise indeed!
BatFast
BatFast is incredibly cool. Essentially it is a pop up luxury net, which can be transported around to the needs of the client, with state of the art bowling machine technology in. I would never be able to explain it so well, so have a look on the website here - http://batfast.com/. (http://batfast.com/.) It really is something special, so check out the website!
GripGrip
As we head towards Christmas we are all looking for the perfect stocking filler. GripGrip is exactly that. Mike, the inventor and creator of the ingenious little product, will be coming along to talk about it in more detail, and we will have plenty in stock for that cricket mad person you know (yes, buying stocking fillers for yourself is absolutely acceptable!)
Stretton Fox
Now, this might be the one the Forum is interested in. George and The Platinum Lounge have agreed an exclusive collection for 2016, and he will be unveiling some of this on the day. Certainly the brand new luggage range will be on display, for the first time ever! He will also endeavour to bring some other (secret!) things down, but come on the day to find out! We all know what an enthusiastic guy George is, so let's support him and see him hit himself with a mallet once more, no doubt!
Anyway, any questions or requests let us know, we will also be doing some special offers for IJC stock on the day, so come on down and make an evening of it!
