It should be noted that items listed here will attract postage costs
of £2.50; thereafter any order for multiple titles is posty free. My
usual practice is to send parcels at the cheapest rate, but if anything
faster and more expensive is required just let me know.
I do not have
permanent shop premises but a large part of my stock can be viewed at
all Sussex County Cricket Club home matches, at Hove, Horsham and
Arundel. I will also sell at Eastbourne and Hastings as and when first
team cricket returns there.
