Just an idea I had whilst browsing the forum. Perhaps it would attract more custom if the sub forums for each manufacturer had where they are based written somewhere prominent, such as in the title. Even though I'm not looking for a new bat if I came to realise that there was a workshop near to me, I'd probably go there just out of interest and a chat and knowing me, probably end up walking away with a new bat.
Just a suggestion.

I think a google map with all the locations was going to be produced. I remember seeing one from sometime ago but it needed updating. Not sure if the new one ever got produced?
-
Map was made by me for Custom Bats...
Its here... if anyone fancies adding to it let me know and I can give you access :)

Definitely a good idea, gotta be a lot of brands not on there.
Could get the specialist retailers on there too?
-
Right think I've changed the settings so anyone can add to it - feel free to contribute if you want to add shop locations or brands

Well that is very helpful. Shame I live inside the M25. Wish I had aksed this last week though, I drove past two on the way back from cricket tour!
-
Top effort Leo. Think that was the one I've all ready seen. Plenty more that could go on. Good idea about the retailers also.
-
I have an action to update it. Watch this space.
-
Thanks to whoever added the cricket shops onto it, have changed them to a red coloured marker and have brands as blue
-
Also found this one of UK Cricket Clubs. Only Middlesex is really done at the moment so feel free to add to it...

Can we just add the shops/batmakers we know about or do we need their permission first?
-

Glad I am not the only one...
-
All done i think :)
-
Click the Red EDIT button on left sidebar. The click the PIN button to add a pin (Top left corner of the map)
-
If a shop/brand already has a pin/google place listing, you can find it on the map and click on it, this automatically adds it to the map.
-
I've added some cricket shops onto it, will add a few more brands on there soon.
-
Is it just for forum sponsors or should other notable batmakers be added?
-
Anyone can be added to it, definitely not just forum sponsors
-
Was doing some but will leave for now as duplications were occurring, good facility to have though. Will come in handy when I've got an hour or two to kill in some random location around the country

Does anyone know where Black Cat Cricket is based? I've seen that they are in London on their website, but I can't work out where exactly!
-
Could we try make the map for all locations? Not just the UK?
-
No Warrior listed in Wakefield or Rob Pack in Northants....

I believe they are somewhere near Tonbridge/Tunbridge Wells
