Good idea captain, although the pitch might not be in usable condition if the school are not using it from july.

Yep that is true, hadnt really thought about that...

It might just depend on the school really. e.g if a private school might be more likely to have the pitch in match condition as they are more likely to have a specialist groundsman and also boarders may use it.

Best of luck if you go ahead with it, but from experience of arranging fixtures and the reliability of cricketers, I'd have a pool of 30 possibles before you even consider arranging anything. That way you might get lucky and end up with 11 players on the day.

the problem with a school pitch is there will be alot of restrictions on what you can and can't do so i doubt it would be appropiate and needs to be on a weekend as people have work

Just a question when you find out where the best place is what are you going to do clod call all the grounds to see who is willing to let you have their ground?

Doubt many will let out the ground for free... but a £15 match fee would probably be enough to cover ground hire cost, ball and tea (Unless Fattus Cattus hoovers up all the battenburg)

All that could be sorted out as would not expect a ground to do it for free but let's find a ground that's willing then go from there as this could be good if we don't go off on loads of tangents

well it gives an idea of where to start looking for grounds. theres no point in finding a ground then realising no-one can get there is it?
from the people who have put their locations on the wiki so far, me and jimba101 are pretty much smack bang in the middle - so if the people on the map already were the only ones playing it would make sense to start enquiring about grounds in our area to start with would it not? as then everyone has a roughly even distance to travel.
so effectively, yes.

I agree its unlikely any grounds would let it out for free leo, but as you say a match fee should cover it. I think my club hires out the ground for £50, but theoretically £15 or so each should create £330 which should cover costs

Well I'd ask our groundsman but it's generally a softer wicket than others and we will probably have a blind game on seen as it's bank holiday. Sorry.

Well getting there is half the problem from the last time we talked about this most people willing to go were from the south so near to there would be good to guarantee participation but how will you look for grounds by looking for people you know in that area or call clubs up ?

exactly, getting there is half the problem. if we know where everyone is then it becomes a lot easier to guarantee participation.
we could ask the people from the forum in the chosen area to ask their club/ other local clubs about it?
or search and enquire using play-cricket and cal clubs up?
