cue badges

[KeithinFrance]

So you're in the North; 'phone Craftsman or Kevin Muncaster up and order a badge through them/him, it's probably as simple as anything else. They'll have a deal with a badgemakers or they can put you on to one. If you're looking for a reproduction of an antique-style badge, try Tony Glover, his badges are fantastic and he doesn't try and rip you off.

Does Bob Akers still make cues etc? I thought he'd retired. Am I wrong or do you know him really well?

[spotsand stripes]

dont know bob really well met him twice and he did some of this cue for me. not sure as i got the impression off him, it was more about alterations than making from scratch. really nice bloke.

[KeithinFrance]

Ok, good to know as I thought he'd retired. So, about this badge, any better idea of what you want?

[spotsand stripes]

none at all. anything just something that takes me mind off the rest of the cue.
but thanks.

Well, if it's a small flat you'll need a round badge, right? You know those trolley tokens you can get with different designs, like the English flag, that cost about £1 or an old coin from your holidays, or an old 5 pence piece, or a medal or medallion like a St. Christopher; any of those would do! One of the guys in my pool club has an AC/DC badge in the space where his badge fell out! Anything small and round'd do.

cheers will try scouring the net later.

[KeithinFrance]

No worries, pal. Try scouring the attic first! You never know ...

what about getting a small badge of your football team and have it put in to the butt of your cue

[spotsand stripes]

does it have to be round ? have found a footy badge but its not round. maybe just look for a replacement badge then. suggestions on who to call and what to ask for ?

If the badge is not round then it's going to be a bugger to fit!! As for the rest, look at the above in red. Or just ask them to fit one of their badges. I think that with Kev, it costs £10 for a custom badge with your name on it, for Craftsman ask them. I suppose it depends who you're closer too.

It's not difficult, honest. Just 'phone them and ask!
