Hello Chaps,
I'd love to do one more Southern Pansies net, as I enjoyed todays so much.
I was thinking of 12th or 19th March at Eversley Cricket Centre-
Bob Schofield Way
Fox Lane
Eversley Cross
Hampshire
RG27 0NQ
Is anyone interested, and I will book it up and organise.
-
Yeah, count me in

Put me down mate can do both dates
-
It's a fair drive for me. But date depending I'll see if the old 1 litre will make the 168 Mile trip haha
-
That would be great, 19th looks possible for me.
-
Yup 19th works best for me - I'll see which of the Southern Sexy Cricketing Banditos respond over the next day or so.
-
Can't do 19th but 12th should be fine for hanky dad and i

139miles for me and just over 3 hrs! Would love to attend a southern net though. See what the hype is about......
-
I'm not sure we could let you in, as you sound suspiously Northern and dangerously working class to boot. This would upset some of the Pansies, so I'd have to think about it.
Plus there is the chance you might actually be quite good, and that's never going to work with my bowling!

You can't say that! I have dreams(nightmares) about taking you on. You are my nemeisis!
Plus I talk a good game, doesn't always come off in the nets......
-
Should be able to make that too, even tho I'm very northern and extremely working class,hailing from sunny Burnley
-
I'm will be able to get a day pass for either day whichever suits the majority.
-
I have family stuff on the 12th, and being a soft southern pansie I'll have to go!
So the 19th works best for me too
-
If you wanna go @procricket B3 we can share a car down. I don't mind taking mine and being an estate can get a few bags in
Same for @wilkie113 to if you wanna jump in.

Cheers bud appreciate that! Especially as my cars (No Swearing Please)
-
Any flat clappers from north of Watford get a free pint for making the effort to drive down
We are on a mission to bridge the north south divide
:) :)
-
Yes, but we can still coral them in a separate net. I've heard they smell of gravy.
-
Any room for me Chris :D
-
May be easier to organise the north vs south game in the Deep South as us northerners will travel
@SRH there's room, happy to get the car full of we are going(all depends on date and time if it's worth it), just chuck a bit of petrol money in and all good.
Only issue I foresee is parking! If you dave and Wilkie drive to mine, not sure where I'd put the 3 cars till we come back. Lol.
-
With 4 of them potentially making the trip we best inform border control!
-
Looks like there is a pub called the Frog and Wicket in Eversley
Which is the best named pub I've ever heard of!
-
Thanks Chris! :) I'm in Derby so hopefully not too much of a detour. Happy to chuck in whatever is required. I can show them southern softies some heat ;)
-
If someone can pick me up from Farnborough station then I'm up for the 19th! Count me in.
-
Excellent work Ad's - and you are of course, Southern!
-
Count me in for Eversley
-

Northern at heart!

This isn't quite southern enough for me, put it nearer Southampton next time :D :D

I begrudgingly do the 40 mile round trip to the ageas bowl for my club nets, 120 mile round trip is definitely pushing it!!

I am very jealous of the views there though, ill give you that!!
It's 43 miles away from Southampton! That's really is sod all.
I'm another 15 miles out of Southampton really, in a little village called hythe. So 60ish miles each way :)
-
@SirScottiod genuine offer - if you meet me somewhere en route I'll drive, you're in a posh area on the wrong side of the water for me to come and pick you up. As nice as I'm sure you are; I don't fancy adding 25 miles each way to the trip, just because you can't be bothered to drive! ;)

this is a legendary offer from Walking Wicket37. Are we the friendliest bunch of clubbies in the Country?
:) :)
-
That's because we're Southerners!! :)

WHERE IS THE LIKE BUTTON !!!!!!

@neoncricket I can't believe you're even considering a different club to me! :(
I thought the whole idea of moving further down South was so you could be closer to me ;)

Haha I was going to message you again, managed to delete your email out of my inbox and couldn't for the life of me remember the club! I'll drop you a line now.
-
What time of day are these nets?
-
Usually on a Saturday they are 11-3 or something similar.

Any idea of the Wednesday night one?

Errr - I think you misunderstand. I'm organising nets for us as a group that just happen to be at Eversley, I have no idea what the centre itself is doing I'm afraid.

Sorry, that's my bad!! I seem to have made up a date :) for some reason I thought the the 2 dates you mentioned at the start were a Wednesday and Saturday!! Ignore me ill just stay quiet :D
-
Okay chaps - quick update on this - and this may be a little controversial!!!!!
The only thing I can get at Eversley on March 19th is 5pm - 7pm, with 2 x nets including 1 with a bowling machine. I appreciate that this is getting into sat evening, but those who need to get off could probably be home by 8.30 at the latest. However, those who wanted to stay afters, could all go to the pub for a pint - OR EVEN a curry!!!!!!!
I'm not sure geographically who'd be interested, but if you are, can you let me know ASAP - usual rules apply, PAYPAL in advance, I would assume no more than 8 people @ £11.50 each.

any Northerners are welcome to join us, but it might be a bit of a trek for just 2 hours?
Anyway - if you are deffo up for it, let me know ASAP as I don't think he'll hold it for ever.
-
Can't I'm afraid now, missus has booked the Ideal Home Show without my knowledge. Cannot. Wait.
I will however be very interested in any nets once I've finally moved come May
-
Net, beer & curry... Sound perfect!
Count me in Brucey baby! :D
-
Yes can confirm I can do this, controvertial indeed !! perhaps a swift pint afterwards in the 'Frog and Wicket', with any luck I won't get in before Casualty finishes on the TV so she can watch that in peace.
I wear the trousers in my household and no mistake....
:)
-
I cant justify the journey for just 2 hours of net. Ill definitely be interested in further adventures though :D
-
Count me in mate
-
Whilst I will be unable to join you in partaking of the grape afterwards, please count me in for the nets on the basis they finish at 7pm (hopefully my back will have eased up by then after last Saturday :( )

Count hanky dad and I in!

Remember Si - there is nothing wrong with some healthy manly competitiveness.....but above all the net is for chummy willow stroking and bouncing our balls around the place! Not for someone trying to take our heads off with 80mph bouncers!!! :(
-
To be fair if it was at Dummer you would need a step ladder and a pair of stilts to reach anything
I've never played leggies before that bounce over your shoulder(Pete!)

-
Not that I wish to demand money with menaces, but I'm booking this today if any of you feel the urge to pay :)

Just a reminder this is next Saturday folks - 5pm start.
Is anyone planning on hanging around for a pint or a curry afterwards?
Neither is compulsory, you can simply shake hands in the car park and shuffle off, either flushed with success, or withered by failure!!
-
I'd been meaning to send you a message actually, Bruce.
I'm up for finding an Indian or a Chinese afterwards, not sure about anyone else though.
-
Lets see who puts their hand up - although a curry sober is going to be a new experience!!
-
I know - lets all get reall p*ssed, get rowdy in the curry hose and kip at the Eversley Travelodge.
I'm looking at you HankyDad - you look like you could put away a curry and get rowdy!
-
I am up for it mate be a good evening I going to Asad in the morning and he has said we are all welcome to have a look round his bat cave
-
Let's get practising!
It's nearly the cricket season!
Let's roll into Eversley on the CBF nerd practice tour!!
Let's have a pint afterwards !
Fail to prepare,prepare to fail. GA Gooch. :)
