Is it one a pro didn't want? Any in the DW2 profile should sell well!!

If you can put me a 5 to one side I'll ring up and pay for it on Saturday if that's is possible?

Details are firmed up just not sure on the details for people who are not coming down on their discount.

The forum is very much in my mind I shall be taking a few pictures for a few forum members who can't make it and reserving the stuff they want.

Yes we do have quite a number going yet I will remain loyal to why I brought B3 to this forum and the people who have asked will get what they require.

As for you internal training I will get the exact discount for the overseas buyers as it is a bit harder to do with vat and so on but will get it to you for no later than 0945 so you can to order your discounted bat.

I can't be fairer  than That I will also try and get a few pictures of the auction bat so people I have previously known to be trust worthy I will also take bids from via pm and a few people mobiles I have

Hope this suits people if you have any other request please pm me and I will do what I can where I can..

Once again to all the people who have supported us over the last 2 years thank to it is greatly appreciated

Ps the discount for bespoke for people who are coming or can't make it yet filled in the questionnaire through survey monkey will be announced at around 0945 hope this is fine.

Unfortunately can't get into Notts due to family stuff, but Dave et al sounds a really interesting day planned hope you all enjoy yourself! And I'm sure the discount willow will be selling like hot Cakes and turning up on the forum in a matter of hours! If there's a 'B3 goose' bought I'd be interested to see the specs etc

Am I right in thinking this is going to be the bat up for auction?

If so how do we go about bidding for it?

And finally what weight is it?

Thanks in advance.

Hello the auction didn't happen well we changed it to a 3 stripe bespoke secret auction which was thought more appropriate.

Thanks to the forum members who attended and to anybody who is not a forum offer i had no time to even sample the bbq.

CricketBadger Mrs got the bargain of the day with 2 bats for 60 quid one which is a right looker.


Had a good few chats today apparently somebody on the forum has made comments that all our bats go through the shoulder. Interesting returns do not show this and our returns policy is top class.

As for the pictures i got what i could the auction bat will be coming up for sale as will a couple of other pro bats.


We showed off our new showroom and office spaces and our capabilities.

The paddle bats we have 8 of them and i will be getting photo of all 8.

JB their are 5 size 5 at £40 quid all decent.

I known Nick has a few photo to put up i didn't even get to see the Talks i did not stop at all no drink or bbq...

Back in from gardening so i can now say a bit more about the day. Many thanks to Dave for inviting all the forum guys and to all those that didn't attend, you missed out. Some deals on £40/£80/£120 bats. A good look at pro bats. Excellent BBQ and some good chats with paul Johnson and chris broad. Some good deals on softs to boot. Well worth it.
