DIY chain B&Q have been in discussions with ECB about providing assistance for clubs' CricketForce events at a local level.
Please note - there is no nationwide sponsorship or other agreement between ECB and B&Q. However, B&Q are happy for clubs or CDOs to approach their local stores and make presentations on their CricketForce concepts to see if local partnerships can be forged.
However, clubs should be aware that store managers and B&Q representatives nationwide may not be aware of CricketForce when first approached.
