Cheers all for the comments!

Lee: As the break is on a nice angle through the wood Im just using powdered wood glue and relying on the large surface area of the break and a good join from the glue (fingers crossed). If it were a more perpendicular break then i would probably use biscuits, or even 2 small biscuits at the sides and a steel dowel through the middle

Will update with pics tomorrow if I get 5 minutes
