What sort of time do you guys have in mind? If it's Forward Drive then I think they're open from 11am to 10pm.

they will open earlier. 11am?

[Big Mac]

I live 10 mins from there so any time works for me, 11am is fine.

How are we letting that Southern mob organise a net session with more success than us? This is shameful

Yep, you Midlanders want to pull your fingers out and get it sorted,  we've had about 23 nets in the time it's taken you to discuss one. You lot couldn't organise a brew-up in a Bovril factory.

Perhaps you should mix with us unclean, outcast Southerners and have a net?  We could meet in Oxfordshire and have the cricketing equivalent of a 'dance off', it would be like the Sharks and the Jets.

We'll keep the Oxfordshire boys as honorary Southern Softies - @Northern monkey , @petehosk , @jblowe  - but you can keep @uknsaunders and his unnatural relationship with the bowling machine!

Can't make it Stourbridge town F A cup.

Southern Softies - @Northern monkey

Some how I don't think so

You'd have to surgically remove my flat cap ! Ha

Right guys I went forward drive on Saturday and had a look at timings. 7th is looking tough but we can manage times on the 14th if people are up for it. Obviously we can also look at setting up one with the southern guys. Just wanted to let you guys know for those who maybe prefer somewhere a bit closer in the Midlands. Obviously completely down to who wants to go. I will call tomorrow and get timings and prices. I will let farukh know that I want to book a few slots and he should hold them for me. Final booking will be made Wednesday so whichever timing slot people prefer the most will be picked

For those that see this message just reply how many hours you would like for a session. My vote is 3

Please come or else it's going to be quite lonely

[Tailendfielder]

Three hours on the 14th, good with me

[jwebber86]

i'm back to work wednesday and will check the rota hopefully im free

[Big Mac]

I should be in Brum on the 14th so count me in.

[rockymoghal]

 I called forward drive about a 3 hour slot on the 14th and they have given me 4-7 as the only real slot that isn't too late.

Obviously if this doesn't work I can look at booking earlier. Just let me know what you guys think. I haven't booked a bowling machine and only done the one net for now. Obviously if there is interest then I can look to add a bowling machine and extra net.

[Big Mac]

I might not be able to get there until 4:30-ish but that works for me. If we need an extra body or two as we get closer to the 14th then I can try and rope in my nephews as I've recently been trying to teach them cricket.

Should Be ok for the 14th will confirm when I get home

[rockymoghal]

Thanks for the replies @Big Mac and @alexhilly1492 . I know there were other people that showed an interest. Please could you guys let me know ASAP so I have rough idea of numbers. No deposit or money needed, just let me know and then turn up so we can just split the cost with whoever shows up on the day 

[alexhilly1492]

No can do @rockymoghal I'll be at Chesterfield vs cov :/
