Oh my God!  Stand by for the stampede from anyone in the area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a bat made there years ago and James and Bill's enthusiasm shone through - I was there for ages, stroking the dog and talking cricket and kit.

I wonder who'll take this up?

[Andythomo21]

What a great offer, I'm sure you'll get a fair few interested parties!

If a similar offer came up in Yorkshire or the North East I would snap their hands off.

[ProCricketer1982]

I'd love to. Cheltenham based but could only do one day a week and weekends

[WalkingWicket37]

That's only a 3 and a half hour drive for me... 

Excellent offer and I hope whoever takes you up on it has a wonderful time

How to relocate to Crewe. I'm sure there is a way I could do this

[Seniorplayer]

What a great offer it also shows how passionate about batmaking Bill  is by giving his time equipment and willow for free .

[wayward_hayward]

That's one hell of an offer!  Gutted that it's not near me otherwise I would take it in a heartbeat.

[Nmcgee]

Great work Bill. This is a wonderful offer and it's so good to see someone giving something back to the industry, the art of bat making and the game we all love.

[Nmcgee]

....and no $400k, crowd funded 'centre of excellence' mentioned. Bravo.
