With less than two weeks to go before we end the production of our standard Carrooka board range here in our Staffordshire workshop, we thought it was time for a quick update and some news about where to buy Carrooka boards once we stop selling them.
We are fast running out of boards! Natural birch boards will sell out within days. We have better stock levels of Classic Green and Pool8. There are a few Carrom360 boards left and we also have a Pool8 board in green and natural birch.
On May 29th we will be at UK Games Expo at the NEC so we expect to sell out of all remaining boards while we’re there. If Carrooka has winked at you for a while, it’s time to get your order in for UK delivery!
When we have finished making our boards, we will be continuing to make high-end, hardwood, bespoke tournament boards on a part time basis. These will be available for world-wide delivery. More news on that coming soon.
Our standard range of Carrooka boards, the ones you all love, will be available for worldwide delivery, from a range of carefully selected international licensees. Their boards are all beautifully made and are of comparable or better quality than the ones we have been making ourselves for the past five years.
Two of our international makers have been up and running for just over a year:
www.carrookaboards.com are based in Canada, they make the full range of Carrooka boards for worldwide delivery.
www.woodestic.eu make Carrooka in their own beautiful house-style and also delivery worldwide.
For everywhere else, it is going to take a little while for all the ducks to get in line, so there may be gaps in availability until everything settles. Disrupted shipping routes caused by international troubles will cause some delays.
UK customers! You will be able to order Carrooka boards from Oddballs they will have boards in the UK made by a team of amazing carpenters (trained by us) who work for a fairtrade organisation in India.
Also in the UK, you can order from Masters of Games. They will hold stocks made by a variety of our licensed makers.
We’re very excited to let you know that there is also a shipment of boards on the way from India to The Netherlands. When they have landed, the full range of our boards will be much more easily available in the EU… please watch this space for updates.
Equally excitingly… there is also a small batch of boards on a boat from Canada to Australia, so they will be available very soon.
As soon as we sell out of our own boards, you will notice that this website will completely change. It will become more of a signpost so that you can easily find the Carrooka board that is closest to you for easy ordering. Please bear with us while we make that happen! What with trying to make as many boards as possible before we stop at the end of May, getting ready to attend UKGamesExpo and re-vamping the website, it’s a really busy time for the two of us!
There will be more from us soon, including some sneak peeks of some stunning new tournament boards!
Thanks as ever for all your support, we’d be nothing without you!
