I was just having a browse over a few brands and I stumbled across the new Solitaire page. As the last I had heard from them that their shop in Worcs has closed down (?). So I'm happy to notice that they've got a new website that looks a lot better than their old one and as far as I can make out by their map on their website that they've moved.
Their standard bats are now £125 which still come in the pink/lime stickers, however now they are offering a premium service where the customer can go and pick their own willow and watch Roger Weston handcraft the bat.

They're also offering a few new accessories such as balls etc.
