Title: Winter Nets- Bristol
Post by: ianbuchanan on October 25, 2012, 03:05:37 PM

Afternoon all,

With my club being around 60 miles from where I live at the moment I'm looking for a club in Bristol where I can come along for Winter Nets, or just a few lads keen for a hit around here in the Winter.

If anyone nearby is keen please let me know :)

You're welcome to come along to ours mate, again Feb time but in all honesty you won't get much out of it. The bowlers aren't quick and the "nets" we use a pretty poor.

Play for Bristol YMCA in the B&D senior div, our ground is about 5 min drive from the downs off kellaway avenue mate.

Globe is good fun not the longest of nets but good lads down there :)

Netted this morning at globe using the auto feeder, bloody dangerous. Kept sticking then firing them out when I was going back to clear it!!

I like Globe nets, will be going down there in December. However I've pleaded that we change our winter nets at Bradley Stoke Community School. The quality is woeful as is the ground our 3s and 4s play on. Such a shame really as it's a hindrance to our team.
