[Neil Pickup]

Or as Goughy puts it, Pickup to organise.

Is there is interest in getting a side together for a match this summer?

I'm going to throw out a date as Sunday July 26, and see where we go from there.

 

[Goughy]

Great work Neil.

I was only pulling your leg, I didnt think you were contractually obliged to organise

If Im in Europe Ill play. Dont know for sure yet though.

 

[silentstriker]

You know, I was just thinking about something like this - I'll be in Paris during that time, so I would love to come by if at all possible.

 

[Jarquis]

Have you ever done anything like this before?
And where would it be?

 

[Manee]

If it is in South London, I'll see what I can do.

Ideal timing.

 

[PhoenixFire]

I have loads of time this summer so I'm up for it.

 

[Kweek]

potentially up for it...

 

[Jamee999]

I'll umpire.

 

[Nate]

Unlikely that work will give me time off at that time, but will push for it on Monday.

 

[GIMH]

You in England this summer Nath, or taking the piss?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Given Nathaniel's track record for knobbery, I would suggest the latter.

As to other questions - we've done large scale meetups before but not full on matches (though those things really aren't hard to organise if you have the players, I've done that countless times), I reckon Southern/Central England is probably the likely location (Warks/Worcs/Oxon/Northants) but genuinely it will be derived from who wants to play and who I can find to host us.

Jamee, I do not trust (a) your knowledge of the rules, (b) your ability to avoid intimidation from gob****e wicketkeepers or (c) your likelihood to give decisions based on what is most amusing rather than correct.

Jamee will be our star

[Burgey]

We should form a club and have various chapters, like some of those wonderful English clubs like I Zingari.

Keen as, but I don't think I'm going to England until next summer, and thats only for a working holiday.. Best of luck with the organization, wish I could make it

 

[bagapath]

Do you guys ever get around to actually doing it ?

I have been willing to come all the way from India but have never heard anything beyond the original enthusiasm. Or maybe you feel a sixty year old is not of much use to the side.

I might surprise you, you know

I will come if this is firmed up.

 

[roseboy64]

They've had meetups in the past. None recently though I think.

 

[Goughy]

A game should be a regular thing. Once the first one is done (this will be the tough one) then Im sure we can do it frequently.
