February -Ice Cricket World Cup Hits the Headlines!

Hallmark's subsidiary, Baltic Adventures, has successfully held the Ice Cricket World Cup in the Latvian capital of Riga. Yes, that is right Cricket played on ICE!
With players from countries as diverse as Australia, India, England, Scotland, Ireland, Holland, Latvia, Russia and even Ecuador, this was truly an international event, as teams battled it out on a cricket pitch made of ice.
Congratulations go to everyone who participated in the tournament, and especially to eventual winners Brighton CC from England.
Ice Cricket certainly made the news this year, and has featured on BBC, Reuters and NDTV. Ice Cricket in 2009 promises to be even bigger, and for the first time EVER, we will be holding the Ice Cricket in the Arctic Circle!

"Pictures courtesy of MCC"

For most cricket lovers from across the world, the chance to play within the hallowed grounds of Lords, The Home of Cricket, is merely a dream. 
Hallmark's new Lord's Experience allows visitors to fulfil their dream as they join in a net practice session at the world famous Indoor cricket School, before having an Exclusive Tour of this magnificent ground which includes a visit to the legendary Long Room and even the hallowed player's changing rooms.  Contact Hallmark for full details...

Nov-07 - Real Tennis
Hallmark is proud to announce the launch of our unique tennis package, guaranteed to excite all tennis lovers

Real, or "Royal", Tennis is the original form of the game, whose most famous enthusiast was Henry VIII, King of England (1491-1547). The game itself is played on an indoor court with 4 walls, 3 or which are sloped, as well as a netted grille, with a heavy rope bound ball, which barely bounces, and a slightly bent racket head, making it easier to strike the balls in corners or against the wall.  Yes, it is eccentric, but it is also very fascinating.

Your VIP's will not only out try Real Tennis on the original court, having been shown the rudiments of the game by a Real Tennis Professional.  but will also enjoy a Champagne Reception, a Silver Service Meal, and a VIP Tour of the Palace.

So if you fancy trying out your "boomerang" serve into the "poop", then playing onto the "penthouse", before sneaking a shot into the "dedans", then contact Hallmark for more details.
