Bedroom brand possibly. Always a giveaway when the royal "we" is used.

Matt, there seems to be some doubt as to the Solitaire address

I'm in the Worcester area this Saturday, so I wondered if you knew Rogers current location?

The last couple of times that I have met him recently he's been at his old location at the cricket club,
Solitaire Cricket
Worcester Norton Sports Club
Brockhill Lane
Norton
Worcester
WR5 2PP

However, it would probably be best to call him on 07725 072 008 and speak to him about next Saturday as he is currently in the process of moving premises.

Here's an update! You can 'fix' a delaminated bat...

So I took the bat to roger at after I had removed the scuff sheet and stickers. It was a fairly simple job, give it a sand down and then lift the delaminated section up and then feed some glue down it which was kept pressed down by a grip and edge tape.

The glue wasn't watered down at all, as the glue didn't reach all the way down the delaminated section however I'm more than happy with it as the majority of this section doesn't sound hollow anymore and all of the cracks have been glued up. Used the bat last night for the first time and it was going well, certainly worth the work to bring this huge bit of wood back to life.

Surprised i didn't see this topic before.

I have repaired a few delaminated bats. There is a risk that the bat will delaminate again, but this can't be predicted very accurately, if at all.

I have messaged him recently on facebook and he replied right away. I had a few questions to ask about buying a new Joker and it arrived in quick time. Looks better than my first one. Much bigger.

A really good effort on the refurb. It'll probably start lifting in places again, so I personally wouldn't put a scuff coat on it. That way you can do a quick repair straight away.
