As I've mentioned in threads previously my club have had a long standing relationship with Charlie French, stemming back to the club tours that used to go to Nottinghamshire in the 90's. He's also previously sponsored the team, and has quite often given our club members generous discounts.
A couple of our lads are now working as agents for him. Was speaking to one guy tonight who said that he can get the best discount if he bulk buys. An order for 5 Premier Cru bats works out at near enough £160 each, as opposed to the £240 advertised on the CF website. So I asked if he was comfortable with me sticking on something on here to that effect - he is!
The Premier Cru description is as follows:
The Premier Cru bat is made from the very best pieces of premium willow, put to one side by the willow merchant for the finest elite blades. The bat can be made in any of the shapes in our range, or to your own specifications. These really are exceptional bats!
Available in weights above 2lb 8oz
Each blade is tested for moisture content
Natural burnished finish
Pressed to perfection, tested throughout the pressing procedure with a mallet
Long, short and super short handles
Hand crafted
So if you would like to take advantage of this, please get in touch. If there's more than 5 of us then I'll co-ordinate it through my contact.
