I wish I could have made it! I have known Asad since 2009 and have been buying bats from him since then, probably have bought nearly two dozen bats of various brands and I can swear by each and every bat. Such is quality of his bats, amazing bloke and amazing products.

Have a great time there guys! enjoy, leave some good willow(s) for me please :D

I may not bring too many bats to net with, as there will be other bats to play with once we're there.
But I may bring half a dozen special bats if anyone wants to admire them? Gilchrist signed match bat? L&W Signature? 30 Grainer? Hick bat? etc? Let me know if anyone wants me to bring some  (but not for netting with)?

And Roco - simply wanting to try on some of the softs for size, although there will be some cash in my wallet....and I could be tempted  ;)

Well its looks a G1 through and through but I have a feeling its not going to be. What extra special bats did Asad have on show today? Any custom GN ones? I was so impressed with the last batch of those I saw. Still wish I'd bought that Dynadrive when I had the chance, think I'll regret that forevermore.

I think Asad has a couple of custom gn in Swindon mate and the Uzi pro range was something else and all pinged very well indeed

Would be better if you had ceiling tiles Asad
Then you could just replace the tiles every time Simon pppppp ping tests those lovely bats of yours
Gotta be cheaper than having to re plaster a ceiling? After a forum visit

And the Salix bats were very nice too
Will be down to Swindon to have a look at those ca,s again ,this week
