*Official* CW English Meet-Up

[Richard]

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

Not really, there are only 2 things I enjoy more than driving, watching cricket (which I'll be looking forward to doing) and listening to music (which I'll be doing at the same time).

And no-one else has to worry about how far we're going if I'm taking care of 't.

 

[Richard]

You can buy mine for me

That would be unbecoming conduct for a National Certificate For Licensees holder.

 

[ash chaulk]

flying in, in august.

 

[Neil Pickup]

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.

So am I sending this reply?

 

[Richard]

Got the go ahead from me - might have to wait a day or so for everyone else involved's response...

What's the list looking like ATM BTW?

..........

I'll quote whoever I like whenever I like. I'm the one who gets things done. Copying my earlier list:

MJ Pitt: opener
SC Morris: opener
R Hingston: top order
PE Young: top order
KJ Gough: middle order
+A Crampton: middle order
TV Weber: middle/lower order
NL Patrick: lower order
JR Gray: small child
*NS Pickup: lower order/tail
C Hinton: tail
MT Mitchell: tail
R Dickinson: tail

That's 13 so allows for drop-outs.

That's RJE Dickinson to you... so SE Bennett is confirmed no?

I was only joking - no le around at the mo anyway, so not to worry...

I refuse to recognise any more than one middle initial.

And it's SA Bennett, and all I remember him doing is whinging about not being able to play it on the St Helens pitbull fighting rink.

Why?

I thought his last comment on the matter was "I was going to say **** Bradford, I'm coming"?

Well I'm pretty bloody serious when it comes to playing cricket.. I expect Kevin could be as well, just to balance out the totally social element

 

[Langeveldt]

Don't forget Hingston flying in from SA.

Haha, yeah, meeting a bunch of random guys for a knockabout, more important than coming home to see my girlfriend

Hey what isn't more important than meeting a bunch of sweaty anorak cricket nerds like us?

 

[Anna]

[Langeveldt]

Irrelevant, can you hit the square?

 

[Salamuddin]

Irrelevant, can you hit the square?

Hardly think people are going to say no tbh.
