Post by: FattusCattus on January 03, 2015, 03:02:45 PM: Check how far away Soulman is from you now - he is in Suffolk alot I believe, and likes a good net. He's bound to bring a few bats, and I am contractually obliged to tell you he's quite good!

Post by: SOULMAN1012 on January 04, 2015, 08:58:56 AM: I'm in Suffolk mate so maybe we could arrange something although I havnt lived here long so not sure where there is to net around this area.

Post by: Come in 5 and left a bit on January 04, 2015, 09:26:18 AM: Not too sure where there are nets in the area but I'm in Suffolk to and always happy to net.

Any nets in Thetford or somewhere like that?
Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: wayward_hayward on January 04, 2015, 09:28:55 AM: Friends! I will have a look into it, thinking either Thetford or Diss area would suit all.
Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: tommo256 on January 04, 2015, 09:34:37 AM: I'd be keen for it! With our winter nets, there is culford school but I'm sure one of the norfolk private schools would have indoor nets, if not bury St edmunds cc have just had a big indoor centre put up, would depend if we can get booked in!

That's at Fenner's right? Probably about hour and 15 minute drive for me.

Post by: tommo256 on January 04, 2015, 09:51:43 AM: Its probably the best facility in area I would say, apart from vitas ;)

Used by Thetford CC, could be a good middle ground. Thetford is 30 minutes from Norwich, Stowmarket or Bury.

Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: Come in 5 and left a bit on January 04, 2015, 10:06:06 AM: Diss or Thetford would be great for me about 45 minutes from mine.
Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: tommo256 on January 04, 2015, 10:17:59 AM: There about 20 mins from me so!
Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: wayward_hayward on January 04, 2015, 10:34:31 AM: Ok, when would people prefer to net? Weekday evening or at the weekend?

Saturday's or most evenings are ok for me.
Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: Come in 5 and left a bit on January 04, 2015, 10:50:12 AM: Saturday would be good for me.

Post by: tommo256 on January 04, 2015, 10:57:24 AM: I play rugby most saturdays but, depends what saturday!
Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?

Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: Come in 5 and left a bit on January 23, 2015, 07:10:25 PM: Thanks, should be fun
Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: Cowcorner on January 23, 2015, 08:19:25 PM: I'm near ipswich and am up for a net as well. I'll happily bring a few bats along - it'll probably turn into a gear test!! I work shifts so am free on random days but if I can go I will.

Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: wayward_hayward on February 01, 2015, 12:36:24 PM: I have emailed thetford a couple of times with no luck. Work hours means I don't have time to call at the moment. Anyone else give it a go?
Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: wayward_hayward on February 04, 2015, 05:38:47 PM: Update!

I have finally managed to get in contact with Thetford Academy and should be able to tell you some available times slots tonight or tomorrow. Hour rate is £30 for two nets, are people happy to pay that?

Please confirm if you are interested. :D

Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: Cowcorner on February 06, 2015, 07:47:28 PM: If Thetford is being problematic Culford Hall School has indoor nets as part of a sports complex. It is 10 miles south of Thetford - is it worth me giving them a shout or is it too far for you Norfolk boys?
Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: tommo256 on February 06, 2015, 07:59:55 PM: I net at culfords on wednesday, and IMO they aren't that great but
Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: Cowcorner on February 06, 2015, 08:05:30 PM: I've never been - probably worth holding out for thetford then?

Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: Boondougal on February 09, 2015, 12:08:06 PM: Not a good response from me either i'm afraid. I only working in the area a few days / nights a week so definitely not going to be able to do a friday or a sat. Sorry about that.

I'll probably only ever be available on a mon / tues to be honest.

Post by: Cowcorner on February 11, 2015, 10:00:38 PM: Sorry but I can't make it at all this weekend - it's my daughter's first birthday so the house is on lockdown and I am on a very short leash. I'm not even allowed to say cricket. And the rugby's on.
Title: Re: Any Norfolk net buddies around?
Post by: wayward_hayward on February 12, 2015, 08:50:40 AM: From the looks of it, Friday and Saturday are there only available slots.
