Title: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford
Post by: FattusCattus on December 05, 2015, 11:31:19 AM
Hello net-fans. Is anyone up for a net at the George Abbott school in Burpham?

I'm thinking of the standard set-up - one evening or Saturday / Sunday during the day? 2 hrs x 6 nerds in a net?

@felix  @Chalkie   @Batbuddy99   @RoCo Da Pixie   and anyone else who might be interested?

That's where we have club nets.
I'd probably be up f'rit, but weekends I'm usually with the family or trying to put things straight in the house we've just moved into.   :-[

Anyone interested in a couple of hours nets in between Xmas and new year to work off some turkey and escape the family?

Sorry for not replying sooner... I'd be up for a net between xmas and new year. I'd prefer an evening really.

I'd be up for that.  Guildford is only half hour down the A3 for me

I could potentially be in for that!

Depending on time and day then I can be up for this.

Sorry guys - instead of winding down for Christmas, the business has simply got busier and busier! So I haven't had time to organise anything.

We're looking at the evenings of 28th / 29th / 30th - is anyone free for one of these at Guildford? Something like 7-9 with a pint afterwards?
Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford
Post by: felix on December 23, 2015, 07:17:49 AM
I'd prefer 29th or 30th, but wouldn't refuse 28th if it suits everyone else
Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford
Post by: RoCo Da Pixie on December 23, 2015, 08:27:01 AM
28th suits me more but could stretch to the 29th
Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford
Post by: charliemott on December 23, 2015, 08:32:28 AM
29th is a no go, 28th works for me...

Bruce thanks for bringing some order to this thread.

The wife has organised a very 'social' Christmas period for us so the only evening I may be able to make is the 30th.

So is anyone still up for this tomorrow evening?

Yes I'm in... Anyone else?

Post by: FattusCattus on January 26, 2016, 09:30:00 PM
I have a day off on Friday 5th, does anyone fancy a net on that Friday or even Sat 6th?
Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford
Post by: Chalkie on January 27, 2016, 08:58:20 AM
@FattusCattus I may be able to do Friday evening 7-9pm or Saturday 9-11am

PS can you let me know if you are interested in the Salix

Sat 9-11 might work.  Any other surrey boys up for this?  @felix   @Buzz    @tim2000s   @Warneymonster   @Batbuddy99   or any other locals?

Count me in too.  I assume we want 6 for the net ideally - if we end up short I know a probable +1
Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford
Post by: FattusCattus on January 28, 2016, 09:01:10 AM
Okay, we've got 5 'potentials' - I'll check availability.

If someone could offer me a lift from either Guildford station or any other station on the London route then I would be keen for the Saturday morning - need to give the B3 a whirl!! (It comes tomorrow :D)

I'm sure one of us can do that Al, if the station's not on anybody's way I don't mind a small detour

I might possibly be a late addition if there's room. I'm booked on a boat trip but the weather isn't looking too clever at the mo!

Excellent, just keep me posted with the details and I'll book it in with the enforcer other half!

Anyone got any other venue suggestions?

Tis a shame! I'd obviously prefer anything closer to London if possible - so long as I can get a lift from the nearest station then I'm easy!
Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford

How about Sunday morning instead - i tried a couple of places around Guildford for Saturday and no luck.

Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford
Post by: felix on February 02, 2016, 01:25:34 PM
Shame  :( Did we leave it a bit late, so would we be better off giving up on this weekend and seeing if George Abbott could accommodate us on any other early Saturday morning?  If we're lucky enough to find anything on sunday then I'm fine with that.

That could work for me, what about everyone else?
Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford
Post by: FattusCattus on February 02, 2016, 02:14:10 PM
I'd be willing to travel over to Cricket4 change - desperate for a net. Could club together with some of you western Surrey boys if it's a bit too far away.

They told me that Saturdays at George Abbot are all fully booked for kids coaching courses I'm afraid.

How do people feel about travelling to Eversley (including you @Batbuddy99 ) - http://www.eversleyindoorcricket.co.uk/contact.html (http://www.eversleyindoorcricket.co.uk/contact.html)
Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford

Cricket 4 change would obviously be very handy for me.
Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford
Post by: Neon Cricket on February 02, 2016, 02:48:27 PM
Eversley is too far for me I'm afraid @FattusCattus - don't let me hold you guys back if that's the only available option though.

It appears I'll be moving companies to the Chandlers Ford area in the next 3/4 months so we can net to our hearts content then, I'll probably be needing a new club too!

Post by: felix on February 02, 2016, 04:50:36 PM
@FattusCattus did you still have 9-11 this Saturday in mind?  If so then either location works for me, however I couldn't do any later than 11.
Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford
Post by: Chalkie on February 02, 2016, 05:01:02 PM
I'm also desperate for a net, but both locations are going to be too far for me on Saturday due to other commitments. Should be able to do Sunday morning at  Eversley though.
Title: Re: Southern Net Chums - Net at Guildford
Post by: FattusCattus on February 02, 2016, 05:29:48 PM
Nope - I can't get Eversley either. We might have to think a week or so ahead for the West Surrey massive.

@charliemott  or @trypewriter , could one of you enquire at cricket for change on Saturday - we'll see who could make that.
