Hi all

Yesterday I broke my Bola cherry. I have been playing cricket years at a jobbing level, just above village to be honest.
It is a Godsend that Aidy has opened this facility and a very professional set-up it is (stumps aside), with scope for development.

A mate and me rocked up after getting a bit lost, and spent a good old hour or so hitting balls. Aidy was great - very friendly and enthusiastic about the venture. I, of course, was a bit useless, but got used to the feed by the end of the session. Aidy filmed me netting, which will obviously give me some pointers to work on once I'm able to analyse it.

So, all in all, a great way to spend a weekday evening. I feel it can only go from strength to strength and I will be back soon to try out an Aldred or three

Good stuff!

cheers dude. Was good to have a catch up last night as well. Defo nice to show that words are becoming actions too.. Jake's on the case with the stumps Poor beach cricket stumps didn't really stand a chance

Any pics boys

got some 'off the phone' ones but wanted to use a decent camera really first. They will come though.

This is a 'short' term facility as I now have planning permission for the main event

I don't own a decent camera (ie, to show the light properly). I'll be borrowing someone's hopefully this weekend so I'll take some decent (ish) ones then (although, I'm no good at taking pics so you'll have to excuse that bit)

Incredible stuff! Great to see a lot of words being put into action.

are you going to raise the roof a bit?

My spinners come down with snow on them so i reckon i would probably hit that roof or maybe i should just give up trying to bowl.

just bowl in the right hand side net with the higher roofline for the right hander doh

The indoor lanes are bowling machine only

[GarrettJ]

you've never seen me bowl, its shocking. They have some real air on them, I have been known to chuck them so high they go 6 foot over the wicketkeepers head.

thankfully i only bowl in friendly cricket matches.

On a serious note, be careful you don't get clobbered by business rates !!!!
