Father christmas (as he is affecionately known) is still alive, answering calls and making bats (to be proved) as of last month.

I also haven't seen many new wesssex bats - all the more reason to take a little trip down to him, check up on the old man - could even introduce him to nipper

I'll have to come down with you.

In Charmouth as is Devon/Dorset? About 15 minutes from me, where abouts are they there?

The bat I was referring to is about 18 years old, I will see if I can dig it out of the loft tomorrow and take a couple of pics to compare it

Liam - yes, charmouth as in devon/dorset - i cant remember where his house is, so i would have to phone him up and get his adress.
Buzz - look forward to seeing this old beasty!

Silly - as requested (one pic in the my first bat section)
Please remember that this bat is 18 years old and was used for for or 5 seasons!

She's a beaut Buzz!!!! I really like the old hunts bats, just picked up a reflex special off a team mate and it has that massive ducks bill toe - an iconic shape in my opinion!!
For those who havn't seen the Wessex bat then here are the pics, the stickers wont amaze you but i dont think he cares much for that stuff.

I've always been a fan of the old school hunts bats. I had a reflex for a while, am a huge fan of the duck bill toe too, although i'm not sure of the performance value of them! The county laser was the bat I always wanted...
