*Official* CW English Meet-Up

[Richard]

Exeter to Edgbaston in 2 hours? You've either hired a helicopter or you're a very dangerous driver.

It might be a bit longer than 2 hours TBH, but nah, I'm not very dangerous, just very good.

More importantly, do we want to make it a bit later then? Say 1 o'clock?

 

[James90]

Looking at going abroad in 2009, maybe we can have a CW meet-up somewhere on the continent.

Ashes tour of '09. I'll join you.

It takes me around 2hrs 30 from junction 23 on the M5, and that's on a good day, so from Exeter should be around 45mins/1hour later.

Ashes tour of '09. I'll join you.

Would be interested, course allowing.

 

[Craig]

Kev how long are you in Sofia for?

 

[Goughy]

Kev how long are you in Sofia for?

Another 18 months-2 years

 

[Craig]

There is a chance sometime in '09 I will be heading through your part of the world.

 

[Anna]

Right, the net is now booked! Do we want 1hr30 or 2 hours? I need to confirm tomorrow.

 

[Richard]

Go for 2 hours IMO. Can't hurt to go for a bit longer than we need.

 

[Perm]

Go for 2 hours I reckon, nobody will complain if you have the extra 30 mins, but somebody will if you run out of time.

 

[Anna]

But if we don't use the extra 30 mins, we'll have to pay for it anyway....

Btw football shirts are not allowed, centre policy.

 

[Richard]

It surely won't be that expensive among... 6... of us though?

 

[Anna]

At £22ish pounds a net for an hour, it will be.

 

[Richard]

Wouldn't that work-out at another £2 per person for the unused half-hour?

Go for 1-and-a-half if you think that'd be better - I for 1 am unlikely to manage to bowl solid for 2 full hours - but I think we can play safe without too much danger can't we?

 

[Craig]

At £22ish pounds a net for an hour, it will be.

Get everybody to chip in for it, then it will cost peanuts.

Not batting then? If not, why not?!?!

 

[Richard]

'Cos I don't bat.

 

[Anna]

You'll never improve if you don't try!!!! Everyone has to have a bat, I think that should be a condition of coming to the meet-up

 

[Richard]

Believe me, I can try as much as I want, I don't do this "get better at batting" lark. Top-score of 15 in the last 4 seasons.

I'm happy to bowl, and work the camera (me and my namesake will bring our varied-calibre implements).

 

[Anna]

There is a ban on filming when I'm batting!!
