Post by: Buzz on December 05, 2011, 04:02:38 PM: I really like they shape of the bat they have created - lovely.

Who wants a CNC machine anyway, or a bat with 40mm edges.

Does anyone know when and where this was filmed?? It's funny to see people working in ties and jackets. Can anyone hazard a guess as to which year this was filmed???

The fella at the end reminded me of Alex GN. Lol

Given it's Little Baddow, I was going to say Warsop, but I thought that Surridge made a Perfection. Then I had a quick Google, and I think the Surridge bat was a Perfect rather than a Perfection. Then I found a Warsop Perfection old ebay listing.

I think Warsop remember black twine on some old warsop's that were lying around at some point.

Like the bat in brown paper bag touch
