Here's my current collection, only thing I think I'm missing is an Affinity Spectre LH which is out on loan! Probably need to thin this down to 12 or 14 to allow for a couple of additions

[smilley792]

Cracking collection jb! And probably all in a weight I can use.

Especially my mull there.....




Loving how everytime wants a cull as they post. Just me that thinks, right I need some more looks, deffo a h4l custom, b and s looks nice, plus if I can find a scat.......

Haha, agreed here! I need to cull big time but am already thinking about bats I'd like to buy. A H4L seems to be something I must add to my collection!

Obviously I agree that a collection should be enhanced and grown. Myself and a few other (Simon, Chad, yourself and a few others seem to have plenty!)
In fact it is quite funny when Simon and I net and both bring a bag or two of bats with us! There is more activity around the bats than in the nets a lot of the time, which shows that we're all bat freaks that find it hard to resist that willow!
And EVERYONE seems to want a Screaming Cat now!

On the scat front. When I bought my laver and wood, I spent a fortnight contemplating which to buy, the laver or a scat.

Went for a laver and then Julian shut scat just 3 weeks later! Definately made the wrong choice!

[petehosk]

Yes agreed! I have several Lavers and they are fantastic quality but often take a while to really get going - but once they do they are insane!
But Scats are very special indeed....right from the off! Plus as you say, Julian no longer makes bats which is tragic as he had an absolute gift!!

[liscon12]

Do you think we could convince Julian to make a special one off batch of bats for CBF?

That would be amazing but his health is more important!

Need a thin out as I'm getting grief for them being laid around the house!

[Woodyspin]

I dont mind taking those b3s off your hands, it will be like giving to charity!

Although I agree.

I'm sure he was denying up an academy/apprentice thing. That would take up a lot of this time for a few years Atleast.

Surely a 25 bat cbf special won't be as hard on his health as 3 years of teaching people.

So after the CBF meeting the follow actions are as below;

Chris to contact 'the Podmaster'.

Unfortunately I'm not staff, and if I tried to organise @uknsaunders would be all "this isn't official cbf, cbf can't back this".

So probably best finding a nice member of the admin team to approach.
