Guys
If you've known SAF for a fair few years you know Movember is one of the charities closets to our hearts
I'm starting this up early this year because I want a bigger take up and therefore money raised for this cause!
I think this is a one off in the bat market.......
We are offering a chance to be a bat maker for the day.... The day will consist of the following
In the morning we will pick out a cleft from a choice of at least 20 - 30 clefts.
Our supplier only gives us Grade 1++++ clefts ;) so there are no low grade clefts and you'll have me wittering on about choice at the same time
We will then press your cleft. I will try and explain, based on the cleft, why we are pressing the cleft in that manner and you will defiantly be asked to pass the cleft through the press at some stage if not all the time....
The bat will then be spliced, you can run the jig if you like and the handle placement done..... Handle selection, cutting and placement is up to you... Set forwards, backwards or Straight!!!!
Whist the glue is setting...... hmmmm
Lunch in my local, that is on me, no beers though we can do that later!!!!!
Ok back to workshop...
Drawknife, planes and profile shaping all to be explained as much as you want. So really done by yourself with as much guidance as you like... [This is optional but I'd love you to work on it as much as you can]
Then sanding, all done by you :D Ok we'd finish it together with a polish... Binding, stickering in a bat cover and done...
Well almost.... back to local pub for a beer...!!!!!
-
Norbs how much this going to cost mate with Christmas coming this can be my present
-
I'm not sure Dave, I might raffle it for £10 per ticket
-
How about a raffle for us cheap skates and an auction for those with cash to flash? Means you'd have to do it twice, but you can also raise extra cash
-
Maybe Johnny but I want it to be accessible to everyone...so I might have run 2 offers..
Prostate cancer hit me closely this year, so I want to gain as much as I can so we can raise awareness for all of us blokes that say "Ah it is alright"
-
Norbs I am in...its for a good cause plus we get to grow a moustache :D...let me know when you have your donation page setup
-
Yes mate Im in!
-
I'm in
-
I'm in... :) only thing is I am a really bad drinker so if I win I might need to snuggle up next to some willow after the pub... :)
-
Count me in!

Perhaps one draw with raffle tickets for those who want to contribute and another for those who sign up, join movember and raise cash. The overall forum cash raised will be much higher
-
I think you will raise more by doing one experience by raffle and one by selling the experience to the highest bidder.
-
I'm in!
-
Like every year with this i will donate and even raise money for the cause.
-
I'm in.
-
I'm in, charity close to my heart too!
-
I'm in, and may even sport some lip fur this year!
-
I just have to say that I have done this and it is an awesome experience!
It will also help realise that it's not easy to do what these guys do! ;)
-
I'll also be doing it, will be my 3rd year of mo'ing up for Movember. Great experience.

Hi Andy,
Quick question. Are you still doing the 'highest auction' aspect as well as the raffle donation - if so I cannot see where to bid! Might help to drum up bids if we know how! :D
Or have I been blind and just missed the details!
-

Got a few things to sort out but this is waiting the workshop move in a few weeks and then doing it... Getting asked a lot from Club members as well
You both get the same answer ;)
PS: Before you ask going back to the old workshop barn thing if anyone ever came there!
-
Looks like I'm almost in the new workshop..... Thanks the gods, all them and yep that includes you!
I will to the draw this weekend, possibly a vid to!!!!

the winner of day out was Mike Sambaty who put in over £200 towards Movember for me this year
and then K Ohm for the £10 prize....
If that is any of you guys email me
andy@safbats.co.uk or I will email you tomorrow
Thanks to all of you that have entered, a close relation passed away this year because of prostate cancer so everything raised made a difference to me and makes a difference to those dealing with it at the moment
For that I am truly grateful
If you are interested in SAF and you entered this [and havent won] I will waiver postages costs to all those that entered and possibly a bit more for this email us at
