The orders are for mixed grades of cleft so grade 1,2,3 etc. Thats exactly my point and i expressed my feelings to jeremy and he basically said to buy in from abroad. . . . . . . Go figure

When I was there I was never quoted £220 for this cleft or £180 for this one he got about 15 down some finished some part shaped some basically just handled and was told any of them was £180 unless I got the wrong end of the stick

I've messaged you roco mate. Tried to get an explanation from
Rob last night about the actual prices for 2010 and the list price was £220. This is what I was quoted before going down but I paid £180 like the other lads on here. Thos price seemed to stick Whenever anyone has requested a bat since the section opened. When I was there the explanation for the lower price was because simmy also bought a bat and we had chosen almost finished clefts.
Wether rob had decided to charge the £180 overall until January 11 I am unsure, or wether he thought it was a good price for forum members, its a bit of a mystery at present but I will certainly clear this up.

That's fine he most likely forgot as it seemed like he loved what he does so much he prob gets so involved he just went with the standard price plus possibly kept it at £180 till the increase then start with a fresh slate like you said

Right to clear this up the Prices were decided 2010 at £180 stock and £220 for the custom Service. I requested a visit when the original price was still in place. Rob afterwards decided to charge a set £180.
The forum attracted a lot of attention and Rob thought it was a very competitive price for the quality of bats. To sum up the list price was £220 and would have been had Rob not decided to drop it himself. Similar to Matts offer with H4L but nothing official was ever mentioned.
Hope that clears things up and sorry for any confusion caused

I tried ordering some willow from wrights a few back just before xmas i spoke at length with jeremy ruggles he told me the minimum order quantity was 50 clefts . . . I thought about it then decided to go ahead with the minimum order. A couple of days later i got an e mail from him saying that the minimum order had gone up to 200 and Wrights dont like dealing with small operations. To me i find it shocking as their attitude will be the death of small 'boutique' brands
Wrights are running a business to be honest and from what I have heard they manage to easily sell everything they have so its pretty much tough luck to any small batmakers

Yeah i realise they are running a business pal im glad you were here to tell us! But if you take time to read the posts rather than posting useless information then you would realise its UK companies that are at risk especially smaller start up companies which not only puts traditional methods of bat making at risk but the business as a whole in this country. But if your happy to buy indian made imported bats you carry on pal
