OK this is looking promising. Having a look around, Culford school is just north Bury and seems to offer indoor nets. Anyone had an experience there?

I will find out some available dates and prices.

Well...it's a good school but I wouldn't say the nets were fantastic. As Thommo wrote in his response it's a bit dim batting in there.

I think the Bury ones are meant to be quite good and relatively new.

If we want to use Culford, my mate is director of sports so I can get us in there. And I know they have brand new bowling machines

That's sounds like a handy way in, any idea is you can find out when it's free or the cost?

Bury are at burys ground, the only problem is because they are brand new every club wants to use them so pretty tough to get into.
I can give him a text and find out.
Ones in cambridge are still the best though by miles

Agree Culford isn't great but I haven't netted any were also around here but would be good for a coupe, of hours in an evening and then maybe a better net session at a weekend in Cambridge or Bury ST Edmunds CC

OK, how about we give Culford a go (if available)? Would be a good way of getting to know each other and then we can take it from there?

Cambridge is about 20 odd miles nearer for me, but happy to go with the majority.

Wednesday's no good for me, and on call for 7 days from Friday 30th sept..  Should be able to do anything else dependant on start time I guess, but then I figure we are all in the same boat with work finish times??

I have sent an email to Culford about availability for the next two weeks and their prices. I will let you know when I have some idea of dates.
