(ahem) the Forum picnic is at 3 on Sunday afternoon in Dulwich Park! get yourselves in them there nets early afternnon and then saunter accross for some well earned refreshment and lashings of ginger beer. We'll be on the area in front of the Pavilion Cafe. I guess drinks might be on the cards for later in the Plough.

Ahem, perhaps a little too much inactivity this weekend.

I did chase up venue booking man, though haven't had confirmation back thus far this week. He did seem pretty convinced we'd manage to get one of the 2 grounds at bel-air.

I think it's 30 odd quid rental which isn't much by way of subs.


Do we have alternatives on the off chance we don't get hold of it?

Dunno really, there are other pitches we've played on but I'm not very up on the booking side of things.


However, if all else fails there is a - totally rubbish - "all-weather" pitch on Tooting Bec Common which we could have for free, because no-one plays there (for reasons already stated). I wouldn't advise it though because it can be terrifyingly fast even with pretty slow bowlers like myself. Besides, this should be a Dulwich thing.


Be warned, regarding the Belair pitch one of them is well small - great when one is batting, not so great when bowling. Think it is a "youff" ground. The other one we played on last month and it was alright, bit rubbish bounce but not too bad. I bought some boundary markers the other day too that might help if we get lumped with the rubbish one. ?3.66 from newitts.com by the way, they've got loads of cheap cricket stuff there.


Thirty squid is alright and we'll organise lunch and drinks together as well to make a day of it before the main event - the pub.

Dulwich Cricket Club has a ground available for rent midweek and also some good quality nets that could potentially be used for free the week before on say a Wednesday night.


Whoever is organising should contact Matthew Craig on 020 7501 8604 to discuss.


If we have a midweek game then I might be able to play too. Otherwise I'll be playing a bit more serious version (the type where you wait until AFTER the game to drink :)-D ) for my club on the 18th :( .

Great bump, I was just about to say that I've booked the available third (and rather small, good for us amateurs) cricket pitch at belair park for the 18th, 1pm for a hlaf day game, followed by the pub of course.


To answer your question, we've had a lot of interest, but there's a difference between interest and people turning up, as sean and citizen found out in the forum picnic *ahem*


So yeah, be delighted if you want to join in the fun.


Fear, do we still have the sign up form at the CPT, as according to the paperwork I did today, we're officially the Crystal Palace Tavern Cricket Club?

Mockney, I have a feeling something happened to that bit of paper. There were a fair few names on it, but it had disappeared last time I looked.... I'll look in to it!


Mentioned it to Nathan, and if he can get the time off, he is definitely up for it, and would be a welcome addition to the team I think!

Sadly that pitch was the only one available.

A certain member of the forum was going to book it up a while back, but never quiiiite got around to it, so had a dig around today.

Took quite some navigation of the southwark council internal telephone network, such that they thought i was a council worker by the end, but got there eventually.


Don't believe the website when it describes the number as the park sports booking hotline!!!!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
