Its Going To Be A Sizzling Summer! The Barbecue season is upon us with a vengeance. We’ve already had some hot sunny days here in the UK and are promised a sizzling summer. And what better way to spend those sunny days than living the outdoor life camping and caravanning? And naturally, if we’re outdoors in the sunshine, we want to barbecue. Here at First Pitch we have a range of equipment available, the ever popular Beauclaire and Cadac gas grills, the Tabletop Gas Barbecue and, for those who prefer the ease of a disposable, BBQ, we have the Asado Grill Stand and the Asado Camper – just to make it easier and safer. We also have the BBQ Cutlery Set and the Asado Multitool, a great help to those cooking and eating outdoors!

Spring/Summer camping and caravanning. It's been a slow start to the camping and caravanning year here at First Pitch, the economic situation hasn't helped anyone and some inclement weather further dampened spirits but things are ramping up nicely now. Campsites are reporting increased levels of booking as holidaying in the UK, and particularly camping, becomes an ever more attractive proposition and the interest in camping and caravanning accessories is also showing a welcome upturn.

We've a whole new set off offers in our Special Offer section this month. Simple but useful items that help your camping or caravanning holiday be that little bit easier, that little bit more relaxing.

The Easter break is just around the corner - so if you are venturing out in a tent, caravan or motorhome it's a good idea to give all your gear a good check now - nobody wants to arrive on site to find out that this or that little item is broken or missing!

We'd like to highlight some of the items available from First Pitch, firstly the Asado Grill, which is a simple but stylish stand for disposable barbecues, protecting the grass and also making the barbecue easy to use. And if space is at a premium, or you're back packing and want something light and easy to transport, try the Asado Camper - which does the same thing but is even lighter, collapsible and comes with its own convenient carry bag. This item was our best seller in 2008 and it looks popular again, so buy while stocks last. Finally, you can compliment either of these two items with the clever Asado BBQ Multitool to make that barbecuing experience even better!

If you want to hear about future offers and ideas from First Pitch, why not sign up to our Newsletter? It's quick and easy, just look at the lower left corner of any page on the First Pitch website. You get an occasional email detailing special offers and promotions but we won't bombard you with emails every week and we certainly won't be passing on your details to anyone else.

So - here's wishing all our customers a great camping and caravanning time in 2009!
