I stayed in Whitney and toured the surrouding clubs in September 09. How far out of Whitney are you?

what about Bullfrog bats (hearn bay), Chase (somewhere in hampshire) and Stac - should any of them be on your list?

Chris Farrant!

Max Warsop [Warsop and Stebbing] trained Chris Hext Farrant [was making, not sure if he still does, for Premier Bat Company New Zealand] http://www.cricketexpress.co.nz/

Hunts was from Warsop but a different warsop lot...

Benjamin Warsop & Sons [B. Warsop & sons] - George Hunt [Formerly of Stuart Surridge] - Norman Hunt [Hunts County]
