One of the things we are looking into is brining out Handled and machine shaped cleft where the shoulders and toes are cut so you can kind of try your hand at finishing a bat. Would come as a little kit maybe with some twine as well.

That sounds excellent. Then someone like me in Australia can sand and make final minor weight adjustments before stickering. It truly makes the bat a fully customer spec'd bat that is truly a B3. You'd need to call it something new as its not the same as a bespoke and you'd want to distinguish it from other bats. Warranty would be interesting too. Great idea.

A little bit off topic, sorry. I nearly ordered a bat today from yourselves, especially when I seen this " All orders in the UK are subject to 20% VAT which is included in our pricing.
All other orders are VAT free"

Went through the checkout process and the VAT was still applied even though I live in France???, So did not go through with order.

@Stumper do they even play cricket in France? 

[Stumper]

The surprising answer is yes http://www.cricket-sw-france.org/5.html

I play for Toulouse, standard is not so bad, although pitches can be ropey, full of expats, Indians, sri lankans, Bangladeshis kiwis, Australians and of course Brits. We get around 4 or 5 touring clubs a season mainly from the UK, and sometimes the Netherlands, Belguim etc. 1 of our young players is in the French full squad although that is no big deal lol.

We ourselves tour every year, normally to the UK, last season we went to Nottingham and played a game in Derbyshire against a club called Belper on the Saturday, then a game in Nottingham forget the Clubs name but was a great tea and a lovely ground.
