How Much Does It cost?
The Premium Member scheme costs £15 for a one year subscription. Thats £1.25 per month. From the day you subscribe your membership will last 365 days.
What do I get?
Each premium member will be given their starter pack consisting of:
1 x Grip (Of your choice, dependant on avaliability)
1 x Quality Anti-scuff
1 x Quality Bat tape
1 x Custom Bats bat sticker
Although the main benefit of becoming a Premium Member is the discounts from various manufacturers... we have negotiated many offers exclusive to Premium Members from companies such as Uzi Sports, SAF and Mongoose.
A full list of offers will be published in around a weeks time.
Oh and did I mention exclusive premium member competitions? We already have a guaranteed competition to win a top quality grade one cricket bat!
-
that sounds cracking everyone's a winner id be intrested
-
will be interested to see what mongoose etc offer there are...
-
were and who do i pay iam in
-
Ill be doing it, I think the grip, scuff sheet and bat tape would cost me nearly as much anyway!
Mongoose offer is free knocking in which they usually charge £25 for.
SAF offer £10 off each bat I think - ill have to check that one tho cant remember it really.
Ayrtek offer free ti grill with every helmet ordered or 20% off all soft goods
Cant remember the rest
-
Any discounts for existing premium members ;)

Will Ayrtek give you a free ti grille if you already bought a helment?? ;)
-

No all premium members will return to normal members
And no to Roco's question
-
Is the mongoose offer only if you buy a mongoose bat?
-
No send them any bat you have they knock those in for free to... *sigh*
-
I'll hapily pay, just let me know when and how...
-
how do companys know that you have become a premium member?
-
Your title says Premium Member under your name? Also I suppose each company has a rep on this forum to check?!
-
Yes once you become a premium member, you get a flashy title and 5 green stars under your name.
-
oh great does it also mean you can not get banned always helpfull

I dont think it saves you from being banned...

Will Blackcat be offering any discount?
-

good stuff leo like i said money when due bud
-
Bulldog offer: 10% discount on any purchase for Premium members. Also free postage on any order over £100.
-
SAF have said they no longer wish to give a discount to premium members
-
good old kieron!
-
Black Cat: £200 for Shadow (Save £40), £240 for Custom (Save £35).
Mongoose: Free knocking in (Save £25)
Bulldog: 10% discount on any purchase for Premium members. Also free postage on any order over £100. (Save £10-20)
Ayrtek: free ti grill with every helmet ordered or 20% off all soft goods (Save £15-£20)
-
Are they the only offers?
-
whats up with saf pulling out? now they have sold some bats do they think there too good for us? ;)
-
Andy alwways seemed like a nice guy, not sure why he would make an offer and then retract it.
Ill b signing up guys, like the sound of free bat stuff
-
Perhaps he doesnt need to offer a discount after his sucess in the AOC review if orders are coming in at full price......as relatively small brands we have offered the deals to give something back to people opting to become Premium forum members.
We ourselves are having to pay each month to sponsor the forum and are still willing to give a discount whilst paying for doing so at the same time........perhaps you may look on the deals more favourably in light of this?
-
fair point helmet man! ;)
-
All companies who offer a deal are being featured on the actual custombats.co.uk site.
Bat Refurbishments: Refurb for £17.50 and a free grip (Save £6.50)
Two refurbs for £35 (Save £5)
-
Can I just check who we pay and via what method?
-
Paypal to pay@custombats.co.uk
Although Im sure cheque payment can be accomodated
-
It isn't about the review or thinking I'm to good for you guys. The bat and willow choice are there to be used by and selected by anyone who wishes to own one. The same bit of willow could be used by recreational cricketer or a 1st class player I don't differentiate between them.
I'm snowed under and have a waiting list at the moment, when it all calms down a bit there will be offers but in the short term not via the premium membership scheme.
-
Andy all seems fair to me mate....Glad uv got a waiting list shows the bats are in demand!
-
Can we pay now?
-
Can we pay now?

Yes you can pay now but there are more offers to come
-

What I am saying is, can I pay now and still be eligible for the offers still to come?
-
Of course you can, it isnt being run by bankers
-
Paypal gift is preferable please. Otherwise account for fees when making payment.
-

that is a fair question tbh as some people might just want clarification i would've thought so but always better to get it from the horses mouth so to speak
-
Yes we will constantly be trying to get new offers, and premium members will be eligible even if they signed up before they became avaliable. As long as you are still in your 365 days as a premium member you can use it.

i knew you would ask that, the answer is NOTHING.
I am only joking, you have to wait, there will be something from us

-
I have sent the money today, will await my package eagerly.
-
Have just sent my £££. Happy to support the forum
-
Thankyou guys, cant check the paypal myself, but will ask the owner to give me a list of people who have paid.
May be a week or two before we can get everybodys packs off to them as we are still awaiting delivery of the custombats stickers... typical printers!
-
excuse me for being a nosey so and so and dont worry if its a bit complicated or hush hush, but how does the forum ownership work, i always thought that you owned and ran it leo?
-
What kind of stickers are they going to be leo
-
Like the sponsored stickers pro's have, you stick the sticker on the back of your bat... it just says custombats.co.uk on it.
I just admin the forum someone else owns it, but its a secret who
-
All sounds very Dan Brown to me.....will we ever know the secret???
-
i think that leo is a pro, maybe dirk nannes under an alias
-
Loving the cloak and dagger does the owner post alot
-

we should run a competition to see who the secret owner is, I'll go for the guy who owns CSF. I think he set this up so all the decent posters had somewhere gather, leaving CSF for all the guff posters!
-
scott boswell gets my bet, lurking in the undergrowth shying away from the light!
-
I think it is Ian Willis
-
Wrong Ashvir... but this isn't a topic for guessing the owner its a topic about the premium member scheme please stay on topic! Thanks
-
can i start a new topic entitled "geuss the mystery owner" ??
-
No :)
Next person off topic is banned 8)
-
u'll only get one chance Rich
What do you think the odds of me being correct were, fairly high lol but back on topic and i wont be joining the premium members scheme.
-
And I will win but iwill never reveal it to anybody

Banned for 1 day

paid my money on paypal
-
Also paid - now lets get my stars green again please.
-
As Leo is no longer admin, im assuming whoever is the current owner of the forum will be sorting out the grips, tape, anti-scuff and sticker sets that will be sent out to premium members - if not, will we be issued a refund and be stripped of our beloved green stars?
-
Premium member scheme will continue, you will recieve your gear aswell
-
Is this offer open to non-UK residents?
-
I would assume so, however i wouldnt waste your money - it has taken nearly 5 months (and waiting) to print some stickers and send them out with a grip and anti-scuff!
-
Who is in charge of it now Leo has gone?
-
I've just paid mine today. How long has the process taken for the other premium
Members??
-
I have just paid my premium membership
-
Who do i contact about doing this, Leo?
-
I'm up for this but before I send my money into the ether, I'd like some assurance that the scheme is still in operation and the giftpack/offers are still in effect. There seems to be some confusion as to who is now dealing with this. Please clarify :)
-
I am still dealing with this, you will have to ask individual companies if they are still honouring the specific deals or whether they have changed. I know Ayrtek still honours the ti grill one.
You also get:
1x antiscuff
1x bat tape
1x grip
1x custombats sticker
So really good deal imo
-
Ok thanks Leo, I will do a bit of digging to see if the offers are still applicable.

I'm all over this leo. did pm you about it, let me know details of where to send payment etc
-
Payments to pay@custombats.co.uk please via paypal. Please include an address to sent the pack out to and also what colour grip you want! :)
-
Grips in any colour?
-
There is a list of grips somewhere in one of the premium member topics, we have most colours...
Pink, red,blue,white,black ,green etc
-
Done, but forgot to put grip details in so pm'd you too
-
Thankyou sir
-
No worries, any idea how long it will take to be sent out?
-
Varies... would say 2-12 days as a guide
-
No worries Leo, thanks!
-
Is this offer open to non-UK residents?
I'm interested too. Open to us Aussies?
Cheers.
-
I'll find out, I would imagine it is, but you may have to pay the postage charges to get the "premium member pack" over there.
-
I would like to become a premium member. I spend most of my life on here so may as well pay for it!
What do you get for joining again, has the offer changed?
Will
-
You get a number of offers from a few small brands. There is a list of them somewhere but I remember one of them was a Free Ti grill with every top of the range Ayrtek purchased. (Offers subject to change)
You also get the "Member Pack"...
1 x Grip
1 x Scuff Sheet
1 x CustomBATS sticker
1 x Bat Tape
Payments can be made to Pay@custombats.co.uk via paypal
Please leave your address and also state preferred grip colour
We would probably be better posting stuff out after xmas now though otherwise knowing Royal Mail there is a strong possibility they will get lost!
-
I was going to suggest that anyway Leo, I'm nearly snowed in as it is and Royal Mail have done sod all for 3 days, will send you a PM after Christmas and get it done then.
Cheers
-
Leo, the list if offers is in the section for premium members/sponsors/admins and mods I think...
-
I take it I cannot access that part of the forum, or can I?
-
No Johan the list is here:

-
Spotted. Thanks chaps.
I will send payment on Friday mate via paypal and then we can arrange postage when things have calmed down a bit. That OK Leo? I will send you a PM when payment has been made
Cheers lads
-
Worth paying the fee + postage for the Ayrtek deal alone if it's still valid. Looking forward to finding out. Cheers Leo.
-
Any update as to whether the offer is open to non-UK residents?
-
I'd like to become a premium member... Is the offer still open?
-
In light of some of the posts tonight, could I suggest this topic be made sticky so people are aware of the existence of Premium Membership..? 8)
-
Is the following still included in the Premium Member Scheme?
1 x Grip (Of your choice, dependant on avaliability)
1 x Quality Anti-scuff
1 x Quality Bat tape
1 x Custom Bats bat sticker
Thanks
-
Hi Elsi - yes this is correct. Please PM if you want to go ahead and we can send you PayPal details.
-
Interested in becoming a premium member. What do I have to do???
