*Official* CW English Meet-Up

[Nate]

It`s too cooooooooold for cricket.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

ARE WE GETTING ANYWHERE YET?????

Neil seems to have been absent and given that no-one else can possibly do anything useful that means things have stagnated.

Time and time and time waits for no-one... sooner we get things sorted 4certs the better...

Bit hard to organise things from Norway.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Christ Dicko it's January. Something will happen somewhere in the Midlands on that date. I guarantee it.

 

[PY]

Welcome to England mate.

 

[Neil Pickup]

It`s too cooooooooold for cricket.

Well it was lovely and warm today on the top of Dartmoor so I can't imagine what your problem is.

 

[PY]

Warm mean utterly different things when you're talking about Sydney in summertime and the UK in winter I'd imagine.

And it's worse up here by a good few degrees. Though today, I agree it was pretty darn nice and warm, only the one jumper under my coat and single footy shirt for my game at uni.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Haha, Nath, we've just come out of the first cold spell of the year. Not that it gets that cold anymore anyway.

 

[Richard]

Christ Dicko it's January. Something will happen somewhere in the Midlands on that date. I guarantee it.

I thought you were supposed to be a good organisor?

That attitude is precisely the anthesis.

If you want something to happen you have to make it happen.

A new suggestion: is a game of cricket to be played by us an ABSOLUTE MUST?

 

[Richard]

Bit hard to organise things from Norway.

A poor excuse if ever I heard one...

"Dear Mr IOwnACricketClubInThePerfectLocation,

My name's Hakon Moerk, I'm a long-time member of the CricketWeb.net forum community, I actually live in Norway but as I'm good at this sort of thing it's fallen to me to arrange a game. I don't know a thing about the geography of the area and I've never had the pleasure of playing a game of cricket before but I sure can stick a pin in a map and you are the lucky recipient.

YS, HM"

Sorry if there are a few incorrect details in there, BTW... But you get the gist.

 

[Anna]

I can book a net (or however many we need) at Edgbaston at any time, you only need ask I'm sure I'd get discount, seeing as I work there...

 

[Richard]

Well after Tarick's genius there last time I certainly think we need someone else to take the responsibility next time we want a net booked at said ground...

 

[Matteh]

It`s too cooooooooold for cricket.

Indoor nets.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Even if I had wanted to get much going, there would have been no point doing anything before this weekend as it was not possible before the Worcestershire Sunday League fixtures were published. I had no intention of boring you with this useless rubbish but seeing as some people don't shut up otherwise then I have to.

When teaching practice finishes on Friday and I get my life back I will make alternative enquiries.

 

[Richard]

Some people seem to have their sarcasm radars turned-off of late...

 

[Kweek]

cold weather, the radars are frozen!

 

[Richard]

Pickup can use that as an excuse but the Indians certainly can't...

 

[The Baconator]

Aside from the game, anyone fancy a smaller meet-up? I was thinking I might head down to one or two of the tour games in the summer, not like I'll have anything better to do. Would anyone (probably Midlands) be up for it?

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Maybe, after exams. I'll be (hopefully) going to a fair bit of county and minor-county stuff, so I might be able to make something.

Anything of that sort would rarely be a problem for me long as I have decent notice - and can transport up to 4 from Exeter in a line to wherever the destination is.

Would be interesting to meet JJ...

Which tour games are you thinking of?

In terms of accessability, Edgbaston is a good ground to get to
