Title: Local bat makers
Post by: tommo256 on April 05, 2010, 09:46:09 AM

Hello guys,
I went into my local sports shop and he has all his new 2010 stock in now. I picked up this new bat that he had got and asked what make it was and he said my friend makes them and he is local to the area. The area is Bury St edmunds and wondered could anyone help me in finding out the batmaker please?

Cheers tommo x

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but did the bat have any branding on?? failing that, why don't you go back to the shop and ask for more infor??
