Evening chaps,
There is a chance of a fixture becoming available during our cricket week, believe it might be the last week in August.
And I thought I would see would it be possible for a CBF team to be able to ful fill this potential fixture,
I would hope it would work in similar way to that of the stone game, with us supplying a lunch, tea and probably a bbq after, obviously at a small cost to you boys to cover it a bit slightly!
It would be at woolpit, suffolk. So could be an easier one for some of the northerners on here as its not to bigger journey,
Comment below if interested and any questions and will see what happens
Cheers

I can discuss the matter with other admin if it helps. Ultimately it comes down to somebody organising it. If you can up with specific dates and costs then we can discuss internally.
-
I will find out for definite dates tonight, costs would be very similar to the stone game as obviously getting 3 meals!
-
I should be available to play, happy to help out organising it if no one is keen.
-
always available for cricket during the week. defo count me in

Hi All,
Subject to some admin discussions, we are looking at availabiity for this fixture. To avoid all the normal questions here's a quick FAQ:-
Q - Where is West Suffolk?
A - waiting for a google map link (Tommo)
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 - TBC
Q - Any nearby batmakers to visit?
A - Tommo to answer that one
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.

I am planning some sort of curry for lunch, a normal cricket tea and then a bbq for supper with salads and the works!
No real batmakers near by, but B&S are only up the road and I could have a word with Gary and see what can be done!
There is also a travel lodge around 5 miles away so, and around 25 quid a room!
-
I'd be up for this one chaps - a bit of a trek but far more doable than the south coast. Would be happy to meet up with fellow cbf members to share a ride locally or on the way.
Cheers

Looked into this (ie spoke to the Missus after putting up with her mother for the whole evening) and I have permission!
-
Happy days, i have spoke to my meat supplier and he should have a good spread available for bbqing
-
I will see if I can get David at Norfolk Bats or Chris from Blenheim to pop by if this goes ahead.

Awesome news, I look forward to it.

Evening gents, I have been asked by Tommo to organise the CBF team for this fixture. If you are interested in playing, can you write in this thread stating if you are a batsman/bowler/specialist fielder etc. :D I realise that a few people have confirmed an interest already, can you do so again please.

Eh?
As I recall any game was subject to us getting availability, which we failed to do based on this thread. Jumping ahead and confirming a fixture without a team seems a little presumptuous.
Secondly, the dates of the Stone CC game may be moving, until the dates are confirmed and availability taken, I don't think it's wise to commit to another fixture. If its the same day we are stuffed!
Lastly, any communication should be with myself and other admin first. I believe we are the point of contact for CBF matches, to avoid the issues mentioned above and to ensure the organisation (selection/monies/off pitch) is done in a appropriate manner. Maybe you could drop me a PM and explain why you have bypassed Admin tommo?

Hold fire please.

Topic is locked until I get an explanation.
-
Topic unlocked now I have established the Stone CBF game is not going to clash. @tommo256 if you can let us know what is happening with this fixture I would be grateful. Please note this is a call for players by tommo and organised by himself. This won't be an official CBF team as such.
-
This is being played at the the club Tommo and I now play at. If someone (maybe your self mate) captains the. I believe it will as it's penciled in the fixtures with the groundsmen I believe.
Also a stunning ground with one of the best pitches I have played on, fast, hard true with great carry, lovely smooth outfield and decent facilities.
Just needs someone to be captain and take forward. I would be I'm on holiday unfortunately.
-
I thought Tommo was arranging it all mate?
-
I have spoke to Jake at vitas, and had provisionally pencilled them boys coming over so, if @Vitas Cricket was a few short in coming, would forum boys fancy filling in>
-
I'm up for playing in this, I would consider myself an all rounder, those who came to nets at Dotball a couple of months ago can vouch for me (Steve).
-
Still need any help organising this @tommo256? I'm still available to play.
-
We have provisionally agreed a game as 'Vitas Lions XI'
That being said, beyond me and Robin and a couple of others, we haven't actually looked at playing numbers as it is still a fair amount of time away and we are currently concentrating on organising teams for the immediate future. From Sat we have 8 games in the following 11 days!
If a few are required i will approach those i know/trust from the forum first, but may venture out to the wider market if needed.
-
Evening chaps,
Just came to my mind today, jake has kindly said he is gonna bring some lions down to play against the wolves of woolpit, I obviously wouldn't mind getting a couple forum members involved to play for myself as this was the original plan, so anyone who would be keen to play please message me
Cheers
Tommo x
