A New European customer !

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

52_1_b.jpg We have just sold a beautiful Jelks 9Ft Snooker Table to a client in Lausanne Switzerland. This will result in the table being delivered in November. Undoubtedly a more exciting trip than many we undertake. We deliver tables to all over the UK and Europe and if a customer requires it we can even deliver to the USA and fit the table. This table is notable for the size of the legs. Jelks was a London based company that was well known for the production of good quality smaller tables and we believe this table will have been manufactured circa 1920. The pictures that are shown were taken prior to the restoration.

Welcome to the new Elston and Hopkin Blog created by Managing Director Ted Roberts.
The purpose of this Blog is to communicate to as many people as possible the trials and tribulations involved in running a long standing Cuesports business based in rural Lincolnshire. The Blog will also focus on a number of different aspects related to the cuesports business and highlight some of the wonderful people and products that we come into contact with. We will describe the ethos that runs through the way we conduct our business , the relationships we have with third parties via sponsorship and our hopes for the future. You will also see a lot of photographs of outstanding Tables and learn a little about the famous companies manufacturing tables over 100 years ago.
Another topic we will cover is the preparation of your table and equipment. The photograph you can see above is a picture of the first ever Elston and Hopkin fitter working in one of the clubs in the presence of the original owner !
