*Official* CW English Meet-Up

[Anna]

Maybe.

 

[PY]

Can make if it's not a case of meeting at 2ish or something, got to drive to Aberystwyth that afternoon/evening so don't want to be leaving it too late.

 

[Richard]

I think most of us would be hoping for quite a bit earlier than that, yeah. 11 or so, for instance.

What are you going to Aber for BTW?

 

[PY]

Christian conference, I volunteer for the charity that organises it. Must've been there at least a dozen times during childhood and since. Enjoyable though ferocious if the weather doesn't favour you.

 

[Matteh]

Can only imagine that it's in order to get bored in a whole new place.

 

[Richard]

Nah, Aber's gun. Especially if you know people there.

Mind it's less good now than it was 2 and 3 years ago, mirroring the similar decline in Exeter.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Should manage it.

 

[Richard]

I'm in the UK for about a month starting today.. Then back to SA, and also will be in the USA some time this year too.. Would be cool to meet some of our USA members.. I'll be based in Anaheim, California

Oh, yeah - post here if you want any of them to notice that.

You not seen what's happened to Rich's US trip?

 

[Richard]

Nope, 'fraid not.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Nope, 'fraid not.

Nasty stuff.

 

[Richard]

And you'd thought the poor fellow had already had enough hardship.

 

[Langeveldt]

And you'd thought the poor fellow had already had enough hardship.

Girlfriend tells me that bad luck comes in threes.. Mine comes to the power three.. Stepdad just collapsed tonight and is in hospital miles away..

Basically I don't know where I'll be, but I'll always be in a country with some cricketwebbers in.. Although becoming a hermit and dune surfer in Namibia seems an attractive prospect at the moment. It's got so bad I'm kind of numb to everything bad happening.

 

[Perm]

Rich - Sorry to hear that man

Sheeeysh... dunno what can be said that I've not already said TBH.

 

[cpr]

Jesus Rich, bad luck really does wanna get you this year (and last, and the one before that....) Hope he's OK.

CAnt see the 9th being too much of a problem here ATM, but then life likes to throw little surprises up every so often.

 

[DCC_legend]

Nah, unavailable.

Really wish I could get to one of these things. The regulars such as Matteh, Richard, Pickup, Hingston are all guys I'd love to meet, throw yourself and sledger in there and it makes me want to do it even more. Maybe next year

 

[Richard]

Definate no for this year, then?

These "wish I could, maybe next year"s are becoming increasingly common, must be said.

 

[GIMH]

If I'd joined CW a year earlier I'd have attended one of these I guess. Wasn't really a proper regular when the 06 meetup happened and since then it's been impossible for me. Have met people from forums in the past, so it's not something I'm against or anything, just not really feasible for me at the minute.

Having said that, anyone wants a pint on the Sunday at Headingley let me know, and if I get to any other cricket this summer I'll say the same again
