Just putting this put there - could we, as a group of nerds handle such a cataclysmic event?
I'm talking about a 3-4 hour net at Serious Cricket Dummer, interspersed with visits to the Serious Cricket shop and if we were really lucky, pressing our noses to the glass of Dan Chase's workshop.
Then, down to the local pub for dinner, and quite a few pints. A nice little part of the bar where we can all appraise each others weapons and indulge in a little horse-trading - and some more beer.
After this, some Jaeger-bombs and a bit of dancing on the bar, then a game of tape-ball cricket at midnight in the pub carpark, followed by a bit more beer.
Finally, cigars and port, then we all retire to our luxurious hotel rooms in the hotel next door, and sleep the happy dreams of the willow-obsessed.
Cooked breakfast on the morning, then we all go home to our miserable wives.
Seriously - split the cost of a net, add in the cost of a decent pub dinner and share a hotel room (for £30 a head!!!) this could be a reality for the brave ones!

I'm thinking late January, after pay-day................. could this happen?
-
Sounds great to me!
-
I'd have been for this till I saw the teetotallers bit 😔
-
It could very well happen
-
I am keen but unfortunately I am teetotaller as well
-
looks like a few of us would have to make up for others drinking
-
To Be fair I'm pretty sure Fattuss little list just counted most people out(I am out on atleast 5 points)
-
So - it would seem in the cold grey light of dawn, after my lager-fuelled fantasy last night that we could do it this way:
@simonmay5 and @19reading87 are the designated mini-bus drivers from the South east and the Midlands, and they can pick up as many as they can - we pay for their hotel rooms and a glass of lemonade each.
...and @smilley792 is simply not invited. would anyone care to guess on which criteria he failed on?

You haven't thought that one out very well Brucie!! @smilley792 is teetotal so would be ideal as a designated driver

I'm not in your clique??
Anyway 2,3,5,6,7
And @JB knows me well.

I actually went back to check on those, just in case you'd left one out.
You're not invited because you would antagonise the Southerners (although come to think of it, that might be a reason to include you!)
Anyway, I don't have a clique, I'm originally from Scotland, and nobody likes us (except perhaps Japanese tourists)
-
I'm a tight *rse until it comes to being in a bar. Then anything goes
-
full figured hairy men are not ruled out so im ok I think

-
If this happens surely a nose around dans workshop could be arranged
