Title: Bat Repairs
Post by: Rothowl on March 08, 2017, 07:10:23 PM: Anyone recommend anywhere in South Yorkshire for repairs? My lads bat has some feathering of the toe that is starting to split also a few other minor bits that could be sorted with a general refurb.

I've spent far too much time "on the internet"...
By BBC I assume you mean British Broadcasting Company as opposed to Big B... :-[

~~I like to think of it as unpaid voluntary work rather than a hobby...~~

Ahem, back onto the subject in hand!

Jedi may be a good shout, as would Nixon - a good one to ask would be @Ryan on here (Kelsall Cricket) - excellent batmaker and all round jolly good fellow.
