Hi All,
Been asked if CBF would like to come back to Stone CC for a 3rd successive year. Very pleased to do so but before I commit I would like to know some availability for that date. To avoid all the normal questions here's a quick FAQ:-
Q - Where is Stone CC?
A - in Kent near Appledore - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Appledore,+Ashford,+Kent+TN26/@51.0181555,0.7632759,501m/data= (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Appledore,+Ashford,+Kent+TN26/@51.0181555,0.7632759,501m/data=)!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x47dede47d61d565f:0xa5c2918516e4a700
Q - What type of game is it?
A - An all day game, format to be confirmed.
Q - How much does it cost?
A - £25 per person, including lunch, tea and supper. This is required upfront via paypal to me, no later than a month before the game. Non-payment means being dropped. Non-refundable if you drop out as well (consider it an admin fee/incentive to get a new player).
Q - What is the standard like?
A - Pretty decent. Probably not a game for novices or weak players but if you are a reasonable club cricketer at 2nd/3rd XI or decent Sunday friendly standard then you should be ok.
Q - Can we go and see Matt at H4L?
A - It's approx 2 miles from the ground and we have in the past popped in for a cuppa prior to the game. However, it's is entirely at Matt's descretion.
All this considered, please let me know if you are interested in playing. In the first instance I just want to know if we have enough interest in getting a team together. Further to this, I will have a discussion with other admins over the coming weeks about selection and inform lucky members by PM.

most go for the day, but I think Tomtek stayed over last year. I'm considering staying over the night before this year.
-
5 1/2 hours for me so doubt I could do it in a day
will have to see if anyone stays over as I might pop down to watch for fun
-
If selected, I'd offer lifts, but if non needed, or people want to stay, id prefer a nice premier inn. Breakfast and driven ack in the morning,.
-
I to if selected, can offer lifts and a lot of room for cricket bags!

Don't recall a Lenny Henry being anywhere local. Me, Tomtek and Byo stayed at what we thought was a B&B but turned out to be a golf resort, called London Beach. Pretty nice and decent price. Good breakfast.
-
I'll be staying over probably the night before and after this year. Was a long day with the 3.5 hour drive each way and the game. Plus, beers :) Will have to bring the mrs and new kid though but I can fob her off the day after with a trip to Bluewater
-
Why is this always the week I can't book off work! :(
Bloody mothers booking their time off around school holidays gets in the way of cricket >:(

If the misses can get the day off, she can do the scoring.

Can't make it this year as I am on holiday, shame as it was a good day.

Just seen this buddy and of course yes I'm available mate super day out
-
Yeah I'd probably be up for this. Would be needing a lift from somewhere Essex/London way though.
-
Has this game been confirmed at all - and are any of us able to invade Hell 4 Leather prior to the game?
-
cant wait for this game, great day last year
-
Bit of an update on this.
It appears that we don't have a fixture this year. Long story but I changed phone number earlier this year and passed my details on. At the same time they had planned to move cricket week but weren't able to contact me (for reasons unknown). I have been chasing this via Matt/twitter for a while but finally heard back over the last week or so. Upshot is they have another fixture. Hopefully we can sort something out next season.

I'm going to unlock tommo's topic:-

I don't think this will be an official cbf game as such, more a call for players. If @tommo256 can confirm the status of the game on that thread, it would be useful.
