And thanks to everyone for turning up and making it an enjoyable day, even though Si and Tom seemed to take up far too much room with the refurbs Tom was bringing back and the amazing willow Si always seems to bring with him! There was still room for the countless bats others brought with them though as we did have the entire center.
Special thanks to @FattusCattus for helping to organise this, to @jblowe, @Northern monkey and a few others for the fantastic samosas, cupcakes and mass of other wonderful treats and water - you know who you are and deserve a pat on the back for bringing those! Unfortunately I wasn't sure who brought which other goodies so apologies for not mentioning others.   
From my point of view, big thanks to @roco and @alexhilly1492 for sorting out two phones for me (my son is over the moon and I know Jess will love her present!)
Will be looking at hopefully sorting another Net before Xmas if there is interest.

Great day as always, good to catch up chaps.
Some mental bats to drool over and good to have a net with plenty of bowlers.
Not convinced about the merlin thingy tho

Well done Pete for arranging and Brucie for his droning.

To be fair, Bruce did a brilliant job of ensuring that the batting rotated and ticked along nicely!

He did, and it left you plenty of time to drool over all the bats.

I liked the XP80 of Jaffa's (I think)
