Post by: procricket on October 03, 2013, 08:30:03 PM
Although the forum tour never happened and they have just opened this up the genaral public via twitter there 150 pre made bats at super discounted prices and special VIP guests .   The action begins at 11 and goes on till 3 if anybody wants a lift I will begoing from near darlington down the. A1/m1  and willing to give forumites a lift.


Sounds like a good day they also show the full process and you get the chance to press and maybe even put a handle in .

Been to B3 tonight chaps (noticed your bat for refurb Simon), really interesting factory tour and explanation of there process and a good set of guys passionate about there business / product, would recommend paying a visit.

They have a show room full of special priced pre made's ready for Saturday! Could quite stretch to the crown I hadn't hands on! As we had a pre arranged club night tonight I'm not dropping by for the 1st birthday party but the BBQ is on standby!

Hi Simon

Softs are nice - the square gloves are not to bulky and very light weight with the pads finished with calf leather on the inner flap (look good). Still have the current traditional gloves which I have and used the 2nd half of the season. Not sure of the 2013 range but they had keepers stuff and thigh pads too.

They're going to put some pics up

Looks lovely Simon, there is so much subtle difference with there bas tailored to each customer. Think David mention just from the custom option online there's 600 variants yet alone the bespoke version.

Can guys like me get online discount or do we have to visit them personally to get the discount on Saturday? Always wanted to own a B3, would be great if I can find something within my budget.

The marked down prices are on pre made bats in their showroom mate (there's a 100 or so to pick from but there stock shapes on the whole). You'd need to visit and see if anything suits, I suggest getting down early.

If you wanted anything made to your exact specs that would be the website priced I guess unless they are feeling generous.

There's a few special shapes in there too. Granted there not created by you. But there not off the shelf,

Streaky gets bored, so has a play to see what can be created. He was showing me a 60mm edged beast the other day!
Even with a lot of concaving it was still 3lb plus. Lol

So who made it to the factory?
Title: Re: B3 1st birthday party
Post by: moonball on October 09, 2013, 10:37:02 AM
Yes indeed - combined it with our trip to Sheff Wed (come on you Tractor Boys) and travelled down from the North West early doors.

Quite enjoyed it - was for my lad really, having met the guys at the Cricket Expo at Old Trafford and being impressed by the blokes at B3, their products and their ethos. After some serious consideration, he got just what he wanted and at a very decent price, although his mum doesn't need to know the details...
