I wasn't operating the machine at the time.

I've asked everyone whose come in so far and no one has said that. I am going to put up more lighting though before Xmas. Along with a second lane.

It is an evolving creation though, so as I say to anyone using it.. Let me know if there is anything to improve. It's also helpful to start seeing  the amount of people who actually turn up to net and those that say they would but don't. It's giving me some user data for the main event at least.

Went for a second net yesterday at the farm. Once again top fun, this time with the added benefit of some Aldred Butterfly bats to try. They seemed very big for their weight, particularly the Supreme which I had a dip with. Bit bottom heavy, but was a serious bit of kit. The thing that stood out was the handles. Lovely oval shape. Of them all I think the Gold shape is my favourite.

Also, Aidy's spare was nice. A Red Ink in X3 grade. Very good response from that bat.

Great way to spend an evening, chatting and feeding the machine.

Also, discovered I can fit my noggin inside last year's Masuri.... And I thought my gear purchases were done. :o

With us you get 2 chances when it comes to no-shows. We take a name an a phone number for each booking. If you fail to show up twice without contacting us then you go on a list. Anyone on that list wanting to book a lane will have to pay for it over the phone at the time of booking it.

Luckily as it's just mates or people I know using it I've not had any issues. If I actually advertised it etc then I'd not only get more people (too many to handle I think) but I'd probably have no shows too :(

I'll have two lanes soon enough and I'll start actually advertising.

Some good results coming from the training

Myself 2x 50's
George 2 x 100 s
Four other trainers got 50 s

Pretty good going and shows the value of regular decent sessions tbh.

After a really enjoyable net this afternoon, I can definitely recommend popping along, a nice facility and a really nice guy!
