Accyweb sponsored cricket match

[katex]

Can understand that Derekgas .. wouldn't be much fun for him, would it .. LOL

The staff have prepared the buffet and booze, so Harwood Red and I still going.

Hope other people see this.

Ok folks - well Lindsay just rang me from the cricket ground, and the match is definitely ON - just a later start time of 2.45pm. So fingers crossed that the weather will hold out.

Did do a couple of overs I reckon G78, but started to rain again and was finally 'axed' around 3.30 p.m. ... were you there ?

Anyway, did actually have a wonderful afternoon, white wine to meself (except for Lindsay's mum sharing a little .. lol) and brilliant buffet. More people around than I expected.

Glad I went .. thanks Lindsay. x

Good buffet, good company, enough booze, just lousy weather - suppose you can't have everything. Thanks Lindsay!

Well. the great British weather stymied us again! No play and match abandoned, many many thanks to the hearty souls who turned up anyway, Katex, Harwood Red, Brfc 1974, g78,Sparks and Lettie, Ossylass and Andrew. We had a fun day and a good buffet, the company was sparkling and the first Eleven very much appreciated our efforts .
We raised the not inconsiderable sum of £145 for the club, a great effort for a rainy day and of behalf of David and the team a big thankyou !

well to say the match was called off and the weather was miserable I have to say I had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.... couldn't even finish all the lager on offer...loving the ice cold pint cans of fosters

Had some great debates, conversation and laughs, in fact I have to agree with somthing Lettie said, instead of being on here on a virtual accyweb debate we had a real live one going.... hey and don't cross katex after a few drinks if she disagrees with you

[lettie]

Had a thoroughly lovely afternoon, shame about the cricket but the British weather beat us all, maybe get a game next time...

I have had a letter given to me addressed to the Accyweb members who sponsored the (sadly washed out) match last season, the Club say " we thank you for your support throughout the 2008 season and hope you will continue to support Accrington Cricket Club in the future."
Hopefully we can do something similar again next season !
Harwood Red, I have a letter for your Ultras too thanking them for their sponsorship !

Thanks chaps!
