I belive there is one at Twickenham in October as well that I'm meant to be going too?!?

[procricket]

I only know the lords one been asked to help a mate run his bit

[Ayrtek Cricket]

what date is the lords one? missed it last year due to being manic

[tommo256]

Can general public go?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

dont ask me mate iv never made it down yet think its meant to be for the trade though to showcase the new products and get retailers interested in purchasing stock etc to sell in their shops

[norbs]

Can general public go?

Lords nope, it is trade invites only.  I have seen some people trying to buy some show bats though which is quite amusing and a bit embarrasing for them at the same time!

[tommo256]

Oh Right, What about the other ones?

[procricket]

I going to go to learn a thing or two for the future

[Ayrtek Cricket]

blimey perhaps I wont be going if its invite only! not sure we cut it in the elite stakes yet

[SillyShilly]

Piri Piri was there last year......so i definitely think your invited Tom!!
You would be silly not to go, quite a few of the larger sport shop owners are there deciding what to stock for the next year, good chance to pitch to lots of people in one place rather than going around to them.

Ah right will see what happens as im sure the london office mentioned at least one show weve been asked to attend....

I'm going Tom I hope, lets sneak into a Premier Inn but dont tell Talisman and SillyShilly until they are drunk we are staying in Londinium

Ah the big smoke where the lights are bright and the cider is scarce! sounds like a good plan mate be rude not to have a gathering the night before to swat up on sales pitches such as "look at the girth on eeee mind!" which will be my west county chat for selling a bat as well as hittin people over the head with one when they have a helmet on!

you wont find those techniques in the sales bible!

[hicko]

has anyone got any dates of the next shows, the ones where the general public can go. would like to get a look at new makers and products!

There are no shows for public as far as I know, there's 5 I've got in my calendar for trade.
