Notes From the Skippers Meeting - Held at the Battle of Trafalgar Some Weeks Ago

Games Still Requiring a Skipper:

• Headliners - May 11
• Tangmere - May 18
• Portslade - June 22
• Brighton Xiles - June 29
• Patcham - July 6
• Lewes St Michaels - July 13
• Ditchling - July 20
• Hove Unicorns - Sept 7

Come on you eager skippers - let's be having you...

Meanderings, Musings and Mutterings:

• Maff offered to ring around prior to games if the skipper was struggling to get a team together
• We should aim to get to the pub after nets on a Thursday to discuss stuff and drink beer.
• Maff gave a team talk 8 months in advance of his skippership ---- and was still talking at 11.00pm with enthusiasm about an opening attack containing Musso and Gusset!
• The web site was discussed. The Meisters need content to make it work. Send anything and everything you have or produce to A&E or Esso.
• A&E (in hurt tones and with a demonstration of his hand action) “I do spin the ball and it does turn!”

Predictions Also Recorded:

• Musso will take his 500th wicket (many, many jugs long into the night)
• If Niall scores 100 he will buy 100 jugs.
• If Siddo scores a 50 he will buy all the beer all night (did I really say that? Yes you did!)
• A&E declared he would take 20 wickets in the season – no word on any beer though (probably no need as this seems highly unlikely)
  
• Esso to beat personal best (needs some research)
• Maff #1: 50 in first game – bottle of wine for everyone in the pub after (which is presumably why he played in such a cavalier fashion once he passed 25 last Sunday...)
  
• Maff #2: 50 against Twineham and Wineham – champagne for all!
