We don't set the prices, it's down to the individual grounds to decide.

The grounds you are at decide the price of a product you produce, make and have the intelectual property for? presumably you must give them a guide? Or is this the price of having a stall at the test match ground?

I cannot comment on what the grounds will charge for the goods.

We give a RRP for each item but if the shops within in the grounds want to either reduce or increase it that is up to them.

I can say that this year we will be offering both custom made 5* and L.E bats. These will vary in price.

Or maybe it's a sale made through the retailer at the ground, with them setting the price?

I think my confusion really is that GN have a stall at the grounds and you speak directly to Alex or one of his accomplices - but if the prices are set through the ground shop that would make sense.
Either way I think that having a bat making service at the test matches does add something so people get so see how some of the bats are made.

Yes I was.

Hopefully we are being moved inside the gates this year, rather then outside next to what I think was the university building!

Well I was there, 4 days behind the "Really Welsh Pavillion" and then the final day under the grand stand opposite the food court, I think the 200 or so people that turned up to watch the final day really appreciated me being there LOL! Had a good time meeting some of the T.Dilshan and K.Sangakarra who bought there bats along to be worked on.  It was a good week for us, altough the rain did limit the amount of making and demonstrating I could do. We will be at Lords so hopefully see some of you there

I am sure he will be. I will be there for the Sunday of the India game.
I might try to go up on Monday if I can sneak out of work (will need to ensure I am not spotted in the pavillion by the boss though:))
