Nets – 2012 #1

Comrades of the SCC – It had to start sometime and so it has…  NETS!

Thursday 3rd May 2012

18:00 – 20:00

This Thursday, join us at the The Hub, Regent’s Park for two hours of net training and socialising and bloody good time-having. The price for the session will be split between all attendee comrades plus £1.00 so the more the merrier!

If you have bat, pads and gloves, do bring them, but we do have some club kit too. Or, nip down to Lillywhites and buy some there – cheap and cheerful! We shall have fun, whatever!

Very often there is a risk of a beer afterwards – apologies in advance, comrades. It is a risk of the game that socialising may be required. But we face these terrible occurrences as best we can.

See you there!

SCC 2012 Fixtures list

Linseed, mmmmm

My comrades, so many apologies I must heap upon the silence of the last few months. But i have had to deal with poop and only now do I feel worthy enough to rise up and provide you with some deal of premiership worth something more than not much at all! I stand before you, humble, as humble in quantity as Simon Cowell stands in arrogance before the world’s stage – so that’s really quite humble.

However, whilst the world was turning and mine was weaving, I did manage to get together the fixtures list for this year and that will follow. But first some other things of note:

  1. Comrade Commissar, Soldya Grandma (Dan March) will be on the telephone to you very soon for your subs. It’s changed this year, remember? You did read the minutes didn’t you, comrade? £40.00 is membership. Half goes immediately to charity – Royal Marsden and Parkinson’s . The other pays for all of the fun that has to get organised, the phone calls, the admin, the website, the stress, the preparing of orders for kit!!
  2. A full outline of this years Commissars is coming and their duties, so comrades, make use of them!
  3. Website improvements looming – Greater interaction, more pictures, comments etc.
  4. Kit design debate to be had.
  5. Inaugural drinks for 2012 – When, comrades. When?
  6. Outdoor nets begin very soon.
  7. Possible Lord’s training TBC.

But let’s go to this year’s fixtures list: PLEASE SEE EVENTS FOR LATEST NEWS – NOT THIS!
