You are just behind me I think @cmburns

Are you bald and northern?

Not a bad day considering we were 169/7, please for the love of God can YJB ton up tomorrow

Starting a new job in regent's park in a couple of weeks so lords mid week would be good.

In case anyone didn't know south of the river there's some excellent nets at Kennington Park that are free to use, 98% of the time nobody is there...

I am up for a nets evening or two.

What a lovely start to today

Not bad eh? Btw I’m not bald or northern. Was out with the angles, I was actually more over to the right.

God based Broad has turned up!

Aaaaaandd the comedown. Chinese food and being in Sydney in 12 hours time are the only things saving me from this shitshow of a test winter.

I'm 100% in for that. I work in Oxford Circus so Lords is nice and easy for me. Can bring full kit if people need to borrow.

@c00ps are you up for using your contact to book in some nets then?

Certainly am. Will probably be a fiver-ish each with 5/6 in a lane. Not sure I can wangle a machine or Hawkeye though! Will check what I can sort out and, more importantly, when I can get a pass from Mrs c00ps.

This all sounds excellent

@OneLessCardigan @Amygdala I imagine you both will be interested in the above?

Looking like next Thursday, either 5-6 or 6-7 are available. Let me know and I’ll confirm asap.

(Apologies for radio silence - had the kids on my own yesterday and they were proving a handful!)

I'd be up for 2 hours tbh and can be there for 5-7.
@kidboy @OneLessCardigan @Amygdala @BRM @Ecobeard

ah, ballz. I can't do next Thursday. can we make it a regular thing?

Next Thursday might be a stretch for me (First week back in London after hols etc), but happy to commit to regular Thursday night next from 2 weeks time.

2hrs would be great, but if we have to go with one hr, 6-7 gets my vote

@Ecobeard @punkture @BRM

OK. I'm still good for next week, if we can get a couple more? I have a buddy here at work who will come too.

Will check & see for the week after. Can't offer the lower rate for more than one go though. It'll go up to the standard rate of £50-55 total per lane for an hour (max seven people per net).

They also require whites, not shorts - which caught me out last time.

I also think Middlesex reclaim the nets from some time in May, so I'm not sure we can get a regular slot.

I'm deffo in for next week, might be able to get a couple more but I reckon just book it and we can get at least 4 which is plenty for an hour.

Also up for week after

Cool. Booked one lane for 6-7pm already (just in case). I will confirm whether we have 5-6pm shortly...

Week after looking like it might have to be a different day, as youngsters booked in for evening sessions.

Just spotted this @punkture
This sounds good. I'll confirm tomorrow if coming Thursday is OK for me. I am very rusty.

I think I'll be ok for 6 not sure about 5 though, start new job on Monday so need to figure out hours etc

There's something about having to net in whites that is so wrong

@punkture @Coops @OneLessCardigan
Are we on for Thursday? I'm on a course in vauxhall but should be ok to get over in time for 6, will just need to figure out some whites as all mine are in Kent.

Still on , yes. I think I have one more (maybe two). 6-7pm, but be there for 545-ish. Will see whether I can dig out / borrow a second set of whites.

(Very rusty is good, as I’ve not done more than one game and a couple of nets in 6-7 years)
