Hello all,
It is time for more forum sponsor events, and I believe we are first up!
6th of December which is a Saturday, similar format to our previous events, the details of which can be found here:
http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=26891.0 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=26891.0)
http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=26893.0 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=26893.0)
Similar format to last time i guess. Turn up around 11ish (or before, we will be open at 9am) and have a natter etc. Our in-store net is there for anyone to use as and when they wish throughout the day. The event will go on for as long as everyone wants to hang around.
The shop is there to browse and there will be in store offers/discounts along similar lines to last time. The rest i guess is up to who/what i can organise. If Stretton Fox George can come then he will no doubt bring his bag of goodies for anyone who hasn't had a go with his guards, if Ryan is coming again he can talk to anyone about his products which are available in the batmakers shed. I can probably organise someone from Hunts to do a similar Q&A session to last time, i guess it depends on how many new/different faces we get compared to last time. There will be a similar spread to last time in terms of beers (sugary soft drinks for Simdog) and a cricket tea supplemented by plenty of cakes made by my other half, they seemed to go down well last time.
This event is all about the people there, rather than solely about a net and some bats we want to sell. If anyone on the forum wishes to attend and bring/talk about their product in a similar capacity to the way George did, they are more than welcome.
We will have 2015 GM Test bats available, and the new B&S range, hopefully most 2015 stock will be on the shelves too. I'm working on a few other cool bits and bobs, but nothing is confirmed yet.
Just like before, we are happy to collect a few of you from the train station which is about 5 minutes away. It would be good if you could arrange arrivals to be close to each other, saves you waiting around like a lemon and/or multiple trips for us. :)
Looking forward to seeing you all again :)
-
Will be there :D. Look forward to a cracking day as last time Jake
-
Ooh – now I'm living a bit closer, I'd like to pop down.
-
Yep myself and redders will be there
-
Why do you have to be so far away from me! :(

Live by Royal Victoria on the DLR but can easily tube it over to Wimbledon!
-
December 6th you mean Simmy?
No forum sponsor has requested a December event yet, so I am OK to move it believe, but will need to confirm with the admin.
If most others are happy to move to December 6th i would like to accommodate Simmy as he has been to many of our events in the past.
-

Hi Jake
Hope you're well!
What time does the event normally run too? I'm in Munich that week and subject to not getting Bayern tickets on the Saturday I'll be passing on the way back from Stanstead at around 1pm so it'll be good to pop in and make a forum event at last.
Cheers
Andy

Just got the wrong date mate.
Going to the dogs on the 29th so wouldn't have got back in time if you was driving ;)
-
Shame i cant make this, really enjoyed the last one and had a good play with the GM stuff and very nearly bought a six6, would have done if my student loan was big enough!! hope you all have a good day out, it really is a fantastic facility down there

Gotta work saturday clinics mate (Need the OT and it gives me extra leave!). I do all the ones in the winter so I don't have to do any during the cricket season...
-
Confirmed today. Stretton Fox George will be at the event, no doubt with his usual box of tricks, and also potentially a very cool new mainstream product :)
-
I will be attending after work! Anyone need a lift from Bury way?
yes from Braintree only about 40 miles out your way lol
-
Just confirmed, the GM 2015 range of bats across most/all grades will be available to have a look at and try out in our net. :)

Vitas - what happens to the test bats at the end of the season?!

They get refurbed and sold to Soulman for the £100 challenge I think! ;)

Bury, Greater Manchester? ;)
-

Softs will be yes, luggage timescales I am not entirely sure of but hopefully the duffle will be here too :)
Vitas - what happens to the test bats at the end of the season?!
GM test bats are here with us for a few days, then they will go onto another retailer who will have booked them for an event similar to ours or perhaps a tie up with a retailer at a school or large clubs nets session. They spend most of the pre season doing this.
In the case of something like a Six6 (which was in the range last year and is in the 2015 range too) i imagine they get cleaned up and re-issued as test bats again for the following year. I have no idea what happens to a discontinued model or a bat deemed beyond the condition where it can be presented as a test bat in decent shape. To my knowledge they are not for sale.
The demo bats that we have permanently here in our net will occasionally go up for sale. The SF sold to Soulman recently is one such example. We no longer stock SF so having a demo seemed a little pointless.
-
Bury, Greater Manchester? ;)
I second this question...
-

George has just sent me an email promising a 'stonker of a surprise' for everyone attending our forum event. :)

Jakeus, will there be any softs on offer on the day?
-
There will be quite a few offers on the day Brucie. We have a few softs from 2014 left over which will be discounted to clear. As usual there will be a shop wide offer on all equipment too.

Sorry to hear you boys can't make it. Good to see you recently Chris, hopefully your haul of goodies will feed the addiction for a while ;)
Ian you are welcome anytime. :)
For anyone definitely coming, or currently sitting on the fence. Here are some reasons why you should
Unlimited use of our net/BOLA. A decent spread of snacks, cakes etc, beers and soft drinks. GM demo bats to try. B&S launching their 2015 range. George from Stretton Fox launching something that is honestly amazing. Plus many more things to see and do.
To top it all off, we are rammed to the gills with 2015 gear, and there will be a few inviting offers for forum members in attendance.
-
Im on the fence but I might have to come without my wallet, happy to drive if anyone needs a lift?
-
Do you think my wife would mind if I miss my son's 5th birthday party (and the 40mln invited kids- not sure how that happened) to attend?
-
Ian you are welcome anytime. :)
I'll defo try and get up before the season starts
-
Any list of who is going?
-
If anyone needs a lift from Bury St Edmunds way, PM me
-
Hopeing to go if my misses get back from midlands on Friday night as it her nans wake
-
A week to go now.
If anyone plans to travel by train please let me know so we can arrange to collect you from the station :)

Im sorry bro please can we still be friends :( :( :(
-
Only if you spend the same amount as chris, simmy. Jake's had to issue a profit warning :-)
-
Chris came to see us a little while ago and i took him to Hunts for something special from Tony. Would be great to see as many people as possible on Saturday, but as Chris couldn't make it he has already made his move to see us, some lovely willow lined up for him that will be posted to the forum over the coming weeks no doubt.
Still no definitive list of attendees, but based on what happened last time, a few who are definitely coming according to the topic will pull out or be no shows, but we will also get a few people turn up without ever saying anything on the topic.
If it helps, we can do what we did last time, which is post a list that you can add to if you are coming. I'll start us off with the people i know are definitely coming, just copy and past the list and add to it :)
Jake
Robin
Gary from B&S
George from Stretton Fox + Special Guest

All is ok Nick, I phoned Jake this evening and bought a few items and reserved a few more, vitas will continue to trade for another month at least :D
-
I can't get down on Saturday so had a ride down today, picked up a Carbine, Polaris, Omega LE custom and a GM six6 for one of the club lads. I'll post some pics over the next week
It was great to meet Jake and Robin and have a chat, just a shame I couldn't make Saturday

Popping to Hunts for about 9 ish, will get to Vitas for 10 ish.
-
Will still be madly tidying up at 10, but you are more than welcome to arrive whenever you like chaps, will be plenty of stuff in the shop to keep you occupied :)
This event is entirely free guys, there is no charge to use our net on the day, and we will put on a little spread of food (including cake made by my other half) as well as a few beers.
There will be plenty to see and do throughout the day. Looking forward to seeing you all :)
-
Looking forward to the banter if nothing else!!!

Looking forward to Saturday.

Eurgh, so gutted I can't make this... Hope everyone enjoys themselves, had a cracking visit to Vitas last Summer, and would have been great to meet folk in person. (The cake also looks amazing!) Can only imagine what it will be like now, with a huge amount of new gear in! Top top store, my favourite out of all the stores I've visited. :)
-
You talking about your driving or your batting mate!!
Well I didn't make beyond 50 last season so could be either :-[
-
Hopefully this will happen next year too, as ill be able to drive myself this time next year (hopefully), as I will be able to learn to drive in March!

-
Sorry to have missed it chaps, played rugby and paid the price :(
-
I know the rules by now. Unless there's photos it didn't happen or doesn't exist. ;)

Always lots of porky-pies when you lot meet up - normally about playing ability! :D
Anyone get to play with the new B&S gloves?
-

Ooo err! I wouldn't want you blocked with a 'back-log' mate!
-
The look on everyone's faces when the bat with a diamond mounted inside it was revealed was a great moment.
-
None from me Bruce you know I'm crap
Dean was showing off a bit with his running skills
-
Were there any takers Jake?
-
That bat is the most outrageous thing I've ever seen relating to cricket.
Makes the zebra bat covers look like a ordinary!
-
Oh I forgot the bats got baby Italian bull leather grip!!
-
The look on everyone's faces when the bat with a diamond mounted inside it was revealed was a great moment.
I'd be terrified every time I hit one near the splice that the diamond had popped out!

Could have used a real batsmen there to show us how it's done and to help eat the lovely lemon drizzle cake

Very nice gloves will post pics tomorrow...
-
So how much for a luxury cricket bat? Looks like a smallish diamond so it can't be much more than a few monkeys!
-
Very nice gloves will post pics tomorrow...
Little taster before Jamie does his stuff. Very nice I've ordered the blue splits for a mate, may keep them for myself lol

More like 18-20 monkeys just in the diamond mate
But no price was set for the bat as there not sure
-
10k for a bat?
Anyone else but me think it's a backward idea and not needed??
-
George and rob can explain better but......
This is meant as a show piece not a mass produced thing
They are not sure if they are even going to make another let alone put them on sale
It was something George thought would be fun and interesting to see what could be done with a bat that hasn't been done before
I thinks it's outrageous but fun
-
As roco has explained this is to be aimed as a high class show peace rather than to be used.
Think of all the Rich people into cricket that just want something to show off with this will tick the box! lots of rich Arabs and Indian buisness man where money is no object
-
Little taster before Jamie does his stuff. Very nice I've ordered the blue splits for a mate, may keep them for myself lol

They're better gloves pics than mine! I'll post the bat and pads pics...
-
Split finger and sausage finger versions will be available in both the Assegai (light blue) and Impi (maroon/purple) ranges. The Impi sausage samples were lost during shipping (probably customs)
GP 274 softs are more place holders in terms of design/logos, they were there to show the quality of the product rather than a final design.
-
Maroon gloves :o I don't need any more gloves... must resist. ... must resist....
Just out of interest how much are they?
-
Another great day! Another sneaky one before the season???
-
Some pics nothing of new kit or anything exciting just a few of the bats and the lads batting

Happy to do another one pre-season.

Love the photos mate, top marks.

Who is the chiselled young man in the blue UnderArmour zip up top?
That's my mate Matty and he's not chiselled nor young.

No - but he clearly fancies Redders!

I did see them go to the loo holding hands
-
Hanging round the loos again Basset?

No - but he clearly fancies Redders!
A man of good taste some may say then ;)

Looks like a good day was had by all and a good chance for some to shake the cobwebs from there willow. Wish I would have been able to see the RPC with the diamond in it. And catch up with a few of you guys but hopefully another before season starts somewhere.
-
Awesome pics ! Thanks again everyone !

Wow, that bat. Did someone say it's £10,000?
