It was brought up a couple of years ago.
I have been in many times and know Clive the owner and his bats are very good quality and pads are the same quality as CA but cheaper.
There website was being designed but when I was in last the lad who was making it had left for another job.
But if you get a chance to go it's worth going as they also stock GM, Puma, Hawk, M&H and a few others. Clive and his wife are very nice people and offer great service
And the occasional pro walks in :P

Do they make the bats there or are they made abroad?

The pics do not work as the site is not finished
They are made in the UK but he will not tell me who makes them :(

Ahhh. Just read your comment on a previous page on them. Did you ever buy the 23 grainer?
