No-one near bristol :(
-
Solitaire for me - From Bristol too
-
No-one really near me in Surrey, which is a shame as they would probably have all my money in a very short time.
Might have to check out Mr Vantage man though - does he have a workshop you can visit or anything like that?
-
Redback is in teighmouth so def closest to Cornwall crowd then M&H in Taunton....prob would have been Phoenix if stu was still making his in bristol!
wonder if he's still got tools wouldn't mind giving one a bash with the right kit

Probably, they have a shop. And there are vids on their website in a workshop...
-
Crown Sports is indeed East Boldon, think chris really needs to sort that site out though

Didn't he make some for last season, or did he stop a couple of years ago and buy some in?
-
Not sure tbh mate wellsy had one of his Phoenix bats but I had my newbery so never got hold of one to see what they were like
-
Yeah Clarkey and Reggie had some of his. Seemed nice.

SAF???
Pete did you not know SAF was me :-)
Leo, I'm out in the sticks almost, near a Town called Witney in Oxfordshire
By the way my nearest bat maker is Solitaire but only by five miles, so I would go off to see Dan at Vantage
-
I stayed in Whitney and toured the surrouding clubs in September 09. How far out of Whitney are you?
-
About 7 - 8 miles out of Witney, what team were you in Liam
-
the UK kookaburra hq is in corby in northants, 45 mins away from me
-
what about Bullfrog bats (hearn bay), Chase (somewhere in hampshire) and Stac - should any of them be on your list?
-
Island cricket?
-
Island don't make their own. Used to be Warsop/RNS.
-
Are Ace cricket still going? Or is that now Chase?
-
ACE batmaker (Alf Evans) retired, so no longer around.
-
Remember having one of his bats when i was 16 was a gun! Did he ever make for any of the 'big' brands?
-
Definitely ex-County and maybe even Warsop. (Or was that Chris Farrant?)
-
Just noticed there is not a single batmaker in Wales . . .
-

Chris Farrant!
Max Warsop [Warsop and Stebbing] trained Chris Hext Farrant [was making, not sure if he still does, for Premier Bat Company New Zealand] http://www.cricketexpress.co.nz/
Hunts was from Warsop but a different warsop lot...
Benjamin Warsop & Sons [B. Warsop & sons] - George Hunt [Formerly of Stuart Surridge] - Norman Hunt [Hunts County]
-
Not sure of the name of the company but im sure Vernon Philander is a partner/owner, a south african company?
-
Not sure but aren't Lords bats in Wales?

Mine's SAF - 30 mins drive or so!
