I big thank you and big welcome from me I'm sure Richard and The Doctor will say more in the days to come...
For people who have not come across B3 this is who we are
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd2T0f0DH0MWe have a few plans up our sleeves including product testing and ask the Doctor and Russ night and time to find out more about the 3 Directors and the 2 makers who make B3 one of the most innovative cricket company's around.
I can guarantee from me you will get passion it will not be sales pitched either i have a keen passion for cricket and for B3 and in fact all good cricket equipment.
I will also be a customer liaison i will get to the issue with any issues people have and plan to get the issue sorted the same day as the issue arrives.
We will have a few specials of course we will and plan on showcasing equipment that has been designed by a man who has been designing top international players kit for the last 20 odd years and a man who has been called The leading willow technician of his generation but The Doctor's head might not fit into the forum if we trump him up any more.
I'm also here to answer any question about B3 you will find we hold very few secrets in the smoke and mirrors we deal in fact and not speculation.
The main reason i joined B3 is there passionate like me, for years i thought i was just a Hornby trainspotter with my kit fetish but i have found my cricketing home because they share the same thoughts that the best cricket equipment should be available for all.
Thank you for your kind wishes i hope i can deliver interesting at times funny, and at time informative things most of all I aim to deliver passion about equipment.
Also thank to to the forum powers that be for allowing us to share the passion.
