(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!!!!

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.

      Is that a fact or an opinion?

      I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
