Ali

Thanks as ever for organising the game. Really enjoyed it.

I'm keen to play on 1 July. Happy with the £6 per game arrangement.

I think you know who I am, but will PM you my details.

Hi Ali

My friend Andy said he will come

OK, it's booked. Wednesday 1st July 8pm Kick-off. Lookin at numbers, we will have to rotate substitutes again. We don't have enough people to justify booking two pitches

Maybe some of us will get there a bit early to have a warmup kickabout on the grass piches? Scott, can you bring your ball again?
In fact, can everyone get there 10 minutes before kick-off, so i can collect the £6 and pay the centre? They require the payment before we play

I'm collecting money at the moment on a trust basis as people turn-up at different times and give me money at different points in the evening. An old codger like me finds it difficult to keep tabs on people in this situation.
Just to add that I am logging monies. There looks like there will be a surplus at the end of the season. If this is the case, shall I put this money behind the bar at our final match of the summer? suggestions on a postcard

Hopefully we'll get some more spiffing weather next week so I can enjoy a pint on the pavillion steps after the game.

Thanks to Biscuitman for bringing the bibs and ball. I won't be bringing my camera in the future for match photos. ....unless someone gets smashed in the groin again. In the corridor linking the pitches on wednesday i witnessed a chap get 'bowled middle stump' by an absolute screamer of a shot. It took him ages to get up off the floor. There's something quite satisfying in finding humour in other people's misfortune

I'm back from 3 weeks of travel; available most wednesdays and happy to cough up in advance. I'll be there this wednesday and I'll see if Paul is around.....

ALIB · Post by **ALIB** » 29 Jun 2009 09:01

see you wednesday.

Thomas · Post by **Thomas** » 29 Jun 2009 09:06

Thanks for a good game last Wednesday - I can't make this coming Wednesday but should be around for some future games.

ALIB · Post by **ALIB** » 30 Jun 2009 08:25

As i understood it Thomas, you were dropped, due to a big dip in form (or the rumours about the shower room incident).

Keep up the training and hope to see you in the near future.

Put me down for playing tomorrow night ALIB. Sorry I haven't shown for ages, work commitments.

How has it been going, is your fitness improving.

Columbus · Post by **Columbus** » 30 Jun 2009 20:48

i'm in for tomorrow.

ALIB · Post by **ALIB** » 30 Jun 2009 21:12

OK, for tomorrow we may have a few more people than 10. Can i ask that everyone be prepared to do 'swapsies' at regular intervals.?

Regarding excess monies, when we reach the critical amount I will announce a 'free' evening. Hopefully this will be regular and reduce the amount of excess at the end of the season. If everyone is OK with this, then that's what will happen.

ALIB · Post by **ALIB** » 1 Jul 2009 15:44

Guys, I'm bombing out this evening. I have a dodgy stomach.

Biscuitman (Richard) has kindly volunteered to sort out the monies tonight. Hope the game goes well.

biscuitman1978 · Post by **biscuitman1978** » 1 Jul 2009 21:22

Another good game tonight. Thanks to all ten who turned up. We made a grand profit of £1.10 (10 players at £6 each on a pitch costing £58.90). As Ali says, we can put that towards a 'free' game sometime in the future.

Ali will be back in charge next week, but in the meantime please post your availability for next Wednesday (8 July) at 8pm. As ever, all welcome.

I'll be the first to put my name on the teamsheet.

sorry, got caught at the hospital longer than expected...

ALIB · Post by **ALIB** » 2 Jul 2009 03:23

Cheers for sorting that out at such short notice Rich.

I'm in for Wednesday July 8th. KO 8pm

Any more for any more?

ROJACKRD · Post by **ROJACKRD** » 2 Jul 2009 09:00

Enjoyed the games last night.

Will be playing next week to.

Hopefully it might be a bit cooler next week.

ALIB · Post by **ALIB** » 2 Jul 2009 09:57

And whilst people confirm for next week, just a quick note to say we have approximately £25 in the kitty, which will go towards any weeks where we have a shortfall in numbers. Or alternatively, if the pot keeps rising, we use to have a free match once it hits the critical £58.90.

As ever, can you post your availability for next week (stomach bugs and hospital appointments permitting)
