Cricket First hold sale and bat making weekend
by Alan Rowley, 16th January 2007

Cricket First are holding a sale weekend and bat making demonstrations this Saturday (20th January) and Sunday (21st January) at their Mansfield Woodhouse showroom. The shop opens on Saturday from 9:00am until 5:00pm, and on Sunday from 10:00am until 4:00pm. Bat making demonstrations will be held at 11:00am and 2:00pm on Saturday, and 11:00am on Sunday. These are proving very popular and advanced booking is recommended.

For most, this will be a first opportunity to view the brand new range of Charlie French gear, including exciting new bat graphics, all at discounted prices. There are special packages available with many bargain prices at up to 70% off. Cricket First have a new range of Kashmir willow bats, specially sourced for quality, with men's bats from £38 and boys' bats from £15.

Proskins Clubwear samples will also be on display. Proskins are the only company that can match any colour trims to the new style fleece sweaters. Because these are made locally to order, there will be no continuation problems for future years. A club's design is there for as long as they want it and all embroidery and printing is done in house.

Brand new isotherm Proskins will also be available. These use nano technology and keep the body regulated to 37 degrees. Proskins are the only base layer clothing company to use this technology. They are also treated with silver, an anti-bacterial agent which kills the bacteria that causes sweat to smell.

For further details, please telephone 01623 654242 or visit the shop which is only five minutes walk from the railway station, near the White Swan pub. Alternatively, visit the Charlie French Bats website at www.cfbats.co.uk or the Proskins website at www.proskins.co.uk.
