mockney piers Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Just had a letter through the door addressed to the Crystal Palace Tavern Cricket Club, it starts 'dear secretary...' *stifles chuckle*.We have a choice of Belair, Burgess and Southwark parks (astro turf) and more dates that you could throw a smoked haddock at.Who's up for it this year, and Brendan is your mate around?

Michael Palaeologus Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Is this bowling crown-green or flat? Can you hire woods or do you need your own? Are whites obligatory?Not that I know anything about bowling.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Aside to Strawbs: I have two sets of woods so when the sun next shines we can sneak onto the green at Peckham Rye if you fancy.ATCitEd: always makes me chuckle.

Brendan Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Got horribly drunk with him yesterday as it happens Mockers and this very subject came up. And yes he will be around as long as he isn't playing a club match. So now all we need is Dems and the rest of us won't have to bother making any runs at all, again.

david_carnell Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm in for both energetic(ish) bowling for the nominal CPT Touring XI and a dab of lawn bowls. Last year I seem to remember the Peckham Rye Lawn Bowls Club did some intro sessions.I'm feeling all Paul Kaye already!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v91/xxdeadmemoryxx/blackball.jpg Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5386-its-that-time-of-year-again-limber-your-bowling-arms/#findComment-173380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Isn?t there also a bowling green in Dulwich Park? Perhaps we could procure its use one sunny, summer Saturday or something.

Sandperson Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'd be interested in the cricket. I haven't played since I was about 16 (19 years ago), don't own whites anymore and have no other kit or skill, that any good to you?

Keef Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Sandperson, you'll fit right in! I'm in as ever, but Dems is now living in the grim north, but he might be convinced to come down for the weekend depending on dates...

mockney piers Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 yep, wouldn't worry Sandperson, we turn up in tshirts and shorts (actually rainmancs and jumpers if the last couple of games were anything to go by) and generally have to put down a can of beer to catch a ball.

Brendan Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Anyone who can actually play cricket will be handy too. I think we established last year that as this is the CPT cricket team the criteria for membership are something along the lines of, drink in the CPT/have ever had a drink in the CTP/Have ever had a drink in a pub of any description/ have ever had a drink of any sort/have walked past the CPT or any other pub.
