*Official* CW English Meet-Up

[Jamee999]

IF we want CW vs CW, my club ground has about 6 squares.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I'm sure we could organise something without the esteemed Ginger One.

The evidence suggests otherwise.

Lots of valid points raised in this thread; I personally would like to organise a proper match against a proper opposing team - being the "CW XI" so to speak, and organising 16 of us to play in a mess-around game just won't feel the same.

My thoughts now are emailing back Cookley and outlining the concerns - i.e. standard isn't likely be an issue as we're primarily in it for the social aspect - but we do worry that 15/16 year olds can be, how to put it, a little over-serious when it comes to cricket when we'll be everything but; and that there ain't gonna be much by way of post-match, um, refreshment.

 

[Kweek]

couldn't we just email some random other clubs? in the same area?

Cookley simply won't have a team to play us I think.
otherwise ask if Cookley has an idea for an opposition?

 

[PhoenixFire]

Come play against the BRCC.

 

[Matteh]

Come play against the BRCC.

Bristol Rovers have a cricket club?

No mate, Ben Rhydding Cricket Club, my club.

Sounds about right, the liquid lunch aspect is fairly important.

All them southerners will complain about how far they have to go.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Pathetic, I agree. To be fair, it isn't really that far up north.

 

[Matteh]

It's in Yorkshire. It's 60/90 minutes north of Birmingham and another hour or so on top of the Somerset lot.

 

[Kweek]

and I need to fly to some other random place.
nope needs to be in travelling distance from Matteh's homebase.
Goughy, Hakon and me have to make a lot of effort to get to this meet-up so please think of us, and where we are staying.

 

[PhoenixFire]

What's the split for North/South people? It's a right bugger for us as well if we have to go to the coast as well.

Kidderminster, that Victorian beach town.

Don't forget Hingston flying in from SA.

 

[Neil Pickup]

There are enough of us in the South and South West to prohibit going to Yorkshire for the day.

My passport's out of date, anyway.

 

[PhoenixFire]

That's a shame then, I guess I won't really be able to make it if it's more than 3 hours away or so. Oh well.

 

[Kweek]

how is birmingham more then 3 hours away? PF?


@ Neil : that had me laughing out loud

 

[Matteh]

Haha, North/South divide staggers me sometimes.

Not for me if I'll be doing the driving.
