As per the title really; we had a few last year at the Oval which weren't bad, although it appears that those who were there are now in 'Southern' territory and all that.
Ideally a 2 hour net (7-9pm) between six people. I'm fairly flexible with dates, IIRC it was about £13 a head. If there's another location that's London based I'm open to a little travel. Lords can do one because the idea of practicing in whites is abhorrent...
About me: I'm awful with a batting average this season of something like 5, and can't bowl for toffee. I do have a Sidearm Pro that is in need of some use, as well as a GoPro to film bits and bobs.
Cheers
Alex

I would be interested. (more insterested to see everyones face when i lug my duffle onto the train in the AM when its rammed!)
-
Me, me, me! Me sir! Pick me! Lets hit the Oval again!
@felix @Chalkie @Buzz @tim2000s @Boondougal and any other 'cockerneys'
-
Yessssss Brucey. Excellent commitment...
-
Lords get's a bad rap sometimes, I love the ground, In fact......i'm going on the tour for my birthday.
But let's be frank, having to where whites for net practice is a nonsence....it's like 1920 or something :)
-
Sounds like a great idea. I'm in London 3 days a week so decent chance I can come along if it's the oval
-
I'm in, I work in canary wharf so can jump on the jubilee.
-
Definitely interested! There are a few midweek nights I won't be able to make but I certainly want to get netting. Lords would be too much of a trip for me tho.
-
Excellent work Malcolm - how is your pussy feeling?
-
I would be interested, depending on the day.

Not in London much these days but depending on the day I might be able to make it...of course I'll be late and have no gear though

Hahaha i was thinking the same with my H4L duffle lol

Click the link, put in your name and then tick the dates you can make. Easy stuff.
-

Haha, Kitty's just fine, curled up next to me fastidiously licking her a***. I can just about bear to be parted from her for nets now :)
-

WTF???????? are you serious??
-
Let me know the date. Hopefully can attend an oval net.
-
As nobody responded to the Doodle thing I've put a poll up here with 4 prospective dates.
-
Can't do the Thurs, any other date and I'm in!
-
Oh dear nobody seems to be able to agree a date... I voted for 17th but could just as well make 18th.
-
Tues (18th) best for me, but may be able to do the 19th
-
I can make 18th
-
I'm assuming this is November? What sort of price we looking at? How many hours?
-
Are you allowed out without @Woodyspin?
-
Net would be October, so a few weeks time.
Looks like we have Tuesday 18th leading, I can do that which would make it 4. Two more people?
I should add I haven't booked or enquired about costs, will only go that far when I know we have the numbers
-

He he, I can get there from work, southern net I need a lift ;)
-
I'm good for the 18th, might need to borrow some pads as just sold my last pair and my new set won't arrive by the 18th.
-
The nets cost £40 per hour. We do our club winter nets there. Unfortunately that night isn't possible for me. But hope it goes well and that there will be others.
-
Anymore development on this guys?
-
So going off the above, for the 18th October we have @MD2812 @Chalkie @Stuey @felix and myself (if you could all confirm it'd be appreciated). If this is the case we need one more person. Anyone up for it?
I've sent an email about an available net and costs, assume I'll get a response on Monday.

I'm confirmed
-
I am going to pass on this occasion, due to work and train strikes, but very down for a London net.
-
I'm confirmed :)
-
Still looks ok for me.
@rickjames any news on availability and cost?
@FattusCattus you up for this, keen to test myself against your evil left arm benders again 😳
-
Cheers @Chalkie
Got an email yesterday confirming which venue I was enquiring about despite saying the Oval. Not heard anything yet but I'll query them first thing tomorrow morning. I'd expect it to be £13 odd a head like last time though.
-
@Chalkie - can't do the 18th I'm afraid - otherwise I'd be down like a shot.
You need to get yourself out to Eversley - nice and humid in there! :)
-
Got an email today; nets are available 7-9pm at £40 an hour, so if you round up nicely it's £13.50 each between six of us. I haven't booked anything yet.
We have myself, @Stuey , @MD2812 and @Chalkie so far. Yay nay @felix ?
-
I'd be up for coming a long if there's any space left - be good to meet you all!

@rickjames sorry I didn't reply sooner - I'm a yay :)
-
Cheers fella. I count six of us! I'll get on the blower first thing tomorrow, looking forward to it
-
Looking forward to this.
Any chance we can bring the time forward as my journey home is 1.5hrs, last time I think they let us book 6.30 - 8.30, or I could even start at 6 if they only allow bookings on the hour?
-
I don't mind doing 6:30-8:30 if it's possible with everyone here and they're OK with it. Could also do 6 at a stretch
-
Yep that works. I could prob do from 6 , just depends on work.
-
I could start 6.30, but 6 is too early for me
-
Either's fine for me!
-
Net sessions need to be booked by the hour, so either 6-8 or 7-9. Think at the moment it'll have to be the latter or nothing at all. If that doesn't work out I'm honest I'm totally fine with organising another one later in November instead.

Hell I can probably make 6 at a push if everyone else can, wouldn't want that to be a deal-breaker.
-
Are you Malc? Don't wanna make it all a manic rush or anything like that for you
@MD2812 and @Stuey can you confirm you'd also be OK for 6PM?
-
Yes count me in for 6pm, work diary looks good so far, worse case I'll rock up 15 mins or so late.
-
Yes I'm definitely OK, my work's pretty flexible, just means I'll work later another day. Was expecting to be stuck in a meeting but fortunately not.
-
Cool, I'm sure @Chalkie shall make it worth your while, ha. Just waiting for @MD2812 then I'll get on the blower
-

Absolutely, I will be gifting everyone my wicket ;)
Or I can bring chocolate?
@rickjames did you book and if so whats the Paypal account for our £13.50
-
Nothing yet, waiting for @MD2812 .
-
Guys, hope we are still on for this tomorrow, I can do 7-9 if we can't get 6-8 to work. Have PM'd @MD2812 as think he was the only one who hadn't confirmed.
I need confirmation tonight as will have to get bag ready so can bring into work on the train and tube - that will make for an interesting journey :(
Cheers,
-
OK chaps.
Net booked and paid for tomorrow for 18:00-20:00. If there's 5 of us it'll be £16 per head, if not then £13.50. With that in mind until we get confirmation from @MD2812 if you can hold off on payment that'd be great.
-
Great, looking forward to it, what name is the net booked under (James?) so we can tell the guard on the gate?
-
A. Wilson. They didn't me a lane number but I imagine it'll be up on the board when you go in.
-
Great, looking forward to it. Considering using my son's youth bag for the tube , lugging my kit bag in rush hour is going to make me as popular as Trump.
-
Chaps might need to borrow some pads if ok. Sold mine last week and my new pair don't arrive till later this week.

The adequate punishment for this is having to bat without pads, surely?

Lol.

Cheers mate.
-
Sorry for delay guys, I'll try for 6, may be a touch late
-
Cheers.
I can tell already by body isn't ready for this.
-
Also now that we have 6 confirmed, if any of you would prefer to Paypal then £13.50 (gift) to alexandertwilson at gmail dot com would be great. Cash tonight is fine also.

Just Paypalled you, thanks for booking it up. See y'all later.
-
same here - see you all this evening!
-
Cheers to the pair of you, much appreciated
-
Don't forget - lots of pictures people!
-
If anybody going is in the market for a Newbery Uzi, I'm gonna bring one I need to sell.
Think it's a 5* 2'11

I don't need anymore bats, but in the tradition of this forum I may be tempted if it is a nice one at the right price (i.e. Cheap ;) )
@rickjames I will pay tonight and also bringing chocolate and lucozade.
-
Might bring the GoPro along and hang it behind the stumps, come to think of it. Sidearm is also in the back if anyone fancies giving it a go.
-
I'll pay tonight, hopefully be there just before 6, probably with a few commuters on by bag.
-
Chaps, really enjoyed the net tonight and putting faces to names.
@rickjames, thanks for arranging.
-
Cheers to all that came, nice and relaxed evening. Nice one.
-
Thanks for organising Alex, really enjoyable net and post session pint. Not aching too badly this morning.
Did you manage to get any good footage off the GoPro?
@Stuey did you get any decent photos?
-
Depends what you define as 'good', hah. If I get a moment in the week I'll try sort a quick thing.
-
My pics were pretty poor, I'll see what Alex is able to conjure from his go pro.
Suprisingly no real aches or pains today..
-
Day 2 stiffness has kicked in.
-
I can also barely move.
-
TRY 4 hours non stop chatting, er no I mean bowling and batting, at the Hampshire net at 50 years old and then imagine the stiffness !! :)
-
imagine the stiffness !! :)
I'm trying not to...might put me off my lunch time chilli :D
-
My right hand through to back muscle have been sore to touch! For 15mph non turning offies, my body has a lot to answer for....
