Game for Toads

Why toads?

Brass on lead.
Made by hand in Sussex.

Honestly? I got bored playing darts. My first ‘perfect eight’ later I was hooked, and I’ve been turning toads and building tables in Sussex ever since — the one stop shop for anything toads related.

Why toads? Honestly, I got bored playing darts. A desperate plea to make up the numbers in a division three league game and my first eight later, I was hooked. I made my first table the following weekend — and the rest is history.
