The standard of playing amongst its members is improving year on year, whilst the aims and aspirations of the organisation to encompass all levels of banding in the USA and Canada makes this such an exciting partnership."

We have seen a large rise this year in orders from north America, so to firm up our commitment to this emerging market through this partnership is exciting news for all involved."
