Paul Nixon?

Nixon cricket, by Nick Nixon, based in Malton are still going. He's going strong and just got some nice new bats made for this season with a new shape for one of them.

Also been through to the workshop a few times as it's only about 40 minutes from me. Definitely best to phone! No website, email, social media etc. Nick seems pretty old fashioned and possibly slightly set in his ways! Makes a great bat though. :)

Yes, quite amazing that Collis King is still the Pro at Dunnington at the age of 64!
