I might be in if it is on sunday

No idea yet, haven't heard back from HH yet...

No nets, still haven't figured out how we're gonna put them up...

We didn't get a massive turnout, apart from phone pix I don't think there's much else about...

I'm trying to find out if we can get a slot down at HH this weekend... £2.50 per player per session, if it happens...

Who's in?

yep

Tenatively in for Sunday, although I'm 'going to Peckham' on Saturday if you know what I mean.

crosses Tim off list

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I might be in. Possibly with two others...

I might have to work, otherwise I'm in

Still haven't heard a thing... Will probably ride up tomorrow and do a face to face...

Saturday or Sunday?

Oops assumed it was Sunday, in for Sunday afternoon only.

No dice this weekend...

They're getting back to me later today with some other slots, will post them up here when I get them...

mierdaaaa

OK, here goes... Until we can get the nets up (which IMHO should be our #1 prority as far as the court is concerned) HH have offered us a 12-2pm slot on Sundays until March...

I know that's a really short slot, but it's all we can get 'til those pesky nets are up... Once they are up there'll be nothing stopping us playing all day and all weekend...

I know, a-ma-zing...

We can start this Sunday, 17th and 24th of November are already booked for something else...

Cost will be £2.50 per person per session...

That's it... Feel free to shrug/flame/jump for joy/cry/etc, below...

^ Nice...

BTW HH have given us this slot at the expense of their track sessions... It's only cuz of the floodlights allowing them to push sessions back that this has been possible...

And yes, they still train at HH in the middle of winter... Nutters...

in!

Is anything happening with the nets at the moment, what's the plan?

I'm trying to get a meeting set up so we can discuss the best ideas... Looking at next week...

There's an email list for people who expressed an interest/are good at this type of thing... Wanna be on it, Dave?

yep please

I take it with only two hours a week, people would be unimpressed with teams trying to play league games down there! :)

#veryexcited!

Very unimpressed...
