Title: February Southern Net
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on February 05, 2017, 10:50:14 PM: Evening all

Anyone up for another net at Eversley this month.
To give us a couple of weeks to arrange it how does the weekend of 25th/26th suit everyone?
Title: Re: February Southern Net
Post by: Bwcc on February 05, 2017, 11:00:34 PM: I would be interested
Title: Re: February Southern Net
Post by: edge on February 05, 2017, 11:01:52 PM: It suits me badly unfortunately, see what everyone says but would be keen for the weekend after?

Post by: Woodyspin on February 05, 2017, 11:15:16 PM: Saturday would be better for me! Dont think i could do a CBF net then go to my club nets on the same day!
Title: Re: February Southern Net
Post by: Bwcc on February 05, 2017, 11:16:25 PM: @Woodyspin I second that
Title: Re: February Southern Net
Post by: petehosk on February 05, 2017, 11:17:29 PM: 25th for me personally as I will need to test a very special brand new bat ;)
But 26th would suit as well, whatever works for majority I guess.
Need to see what my partner-in-crime (aka @Northern monkey) can make so we can do carpool karaoke and brownie/flapjack picnic on the way to nets!

Post by: FattusCattus on February 06, 2017, 09:56:07 AM: Yo, I'm down with that shizzle you funky mofos! (although I think I would really rather prefer the Saturday).

Can Pete 'n @Northern monkey Monkey please not eat all the brownies before they get there - and if @jblowe can't make it, can he FedEx in some more Samosa's please?

Title: Re: February Southern Net
Post by: petehosk on February 06, 2017, 03:06:37 PM: I suspect that Saturday 25th Feb could be the best day for those wanting to attend?
But as there seem to be a couple of people who cannot attend, this could be a good time for Si to start a "March Southern Nets" topic? ;)
Title: Re: February Southern Net
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on February 06, 2017, 03:46:48 PM: Okay, Saturday 25th February it is (or Sunday 26th for @uknsaunders)

Who's definitely able to attend? I;m thinking 11am-2pm
3 hours, number of lanes dependent on attendees.

We can sort out final payments on the day when we know how much we have to pay each

Guys - is this the current list?
No worries if this is the case, but I think we need to get this moving so that the nets can be booked. So if this is the final number then just 2 lanes (1 of which with bowling machine) for 3 hours?
This would equate to around 20 mins of batting against the bowling machine, 20 mins of batting against real people.... and a short break for snacks, drinks and general willow stroking?
Please confirm or speak up if anyone else is up for it?
Title: Re: February Southern Net
Post by: Bwcc on February 08, 2017, 01:14:11 PM: I'm happy with that

Title: Re: February Southern Net
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on February 11, 2017, 05:43:14 PM: Can people please confirm their attendance?

Nothing booked yet, as since I said when the net will actually be I've had 3 say yes and a maybe. Doesn't seem worth booking 2 lanes for 4 people...
Title: Re: February Southern Net

@Dunamis Cricket ? (possibly)

So is this the status?
I think the best idea could be for everyone to paypal a deposit over - I will discuss with Cam and we can call Eversley to see what's available.
Then we will look at taking a booking deposit chaps...this will probably on Monday/Tuesday once we chat to nets.

St Pirens School in Maidenhead / Great Marlow might be worth looking up.
Title: Re: February Southern Net
Post by: petehosk on February 15, 2017, 11:21:22 PM: Thanks Nick - will look.
At the moment it may be better to look at March date instead as there should hopefully be more choice and more notice.
But will update topic this week :)

Would work for me, but think it gets pretty busy this time of year
Title: Re: February Southern Net
Post by: petehosk on February 20, 2017, 10:32:08 PM: I suspect most nets are too busy at this time of year!
I suggest i ask Si to use his direct batphone to Eversley and find out which Saturdays or sundays are free for us to get dates and go from there? Hopefully in march?
Title: Re: February Southern Net
