Roots and Shoots – Jane Gala a Success

The Friends of the Jane Gala held on Sunday the 26th September at the JW Marriott proved a huge success as charity was able able to reach their target of rmb500,000 for the night with the Bashers members contributing almost rmb30,000 on the night to this. Well done guys!!!

The night saw many people from the who’s who attending but none looked as sharply dressed as the men in Blue from the Bashers Cricket Club. From being welcomed in with no need for tickets to be shown on arrival, given a table in the front of the stage in the centre, to being named during the opening speeches along with the major contributors of the charity. People knew who we were by the end of the evening.

The Bashers members held their heads up high for as long as they could after wooshing down copious amounts of booze
and ensuring the smokers corner was occupied at all times.

Again a big thank you goes out to all those who attended that evening and representing. A big thank you also goes out to all the other Bashers who being unable to attend for whatever reasons that have and continue to contribute to this great cause.

Xiamen Cricket & Beach Party

Xiamen Typoons have formally invited the Bashers to come to Xiamen and launch cricket in Xiamen. The Typhoons were voted the most social side at the Shangahai 7s but were totally disappointed with the hospitality and drinking ability of the Shanghai rugby teams. They have challenged the Bashers to restore the pride in Shanghai and come to Xiamen to play the first ever game of cricket in Xiamen. The game will take place at the iconic Gu Lang Yu stadium on Gu Lang Yu Island. The plan is a morning game game followed by 6s. This is a once in lifetime opportunity to break new ground and restore Shanghai’s tarnished image.

In return the Typhoons will do the following:

1. Provide a BASHERS BOAT for the day.
2. Organise an ALL NIGHT beach party in HONOUR of the Bashers. Note that the Typoons beach parties attract between FIVE HUNDRED and ONE THOUSAND people.
3. Organise TV coverage. (see attached link)
4. Sell Kooka pies at the event and allow Kooka pies to promote their wares at key pubs in Xiamen (already done by a certain Kooka pies fan from Scotland)
5. Provide a stage and a PA system not only for commentary but for a band if Omega feels so inclined to get really loose. And/or a band stage can also be set up at the beach party.
6. Raise the Scottish flag at the stadium (well I had to ask)

BASHER’S DRINKS THURSDAY

Camel Bar 7pm.
No excuses, all free and available members are expected to drop in for at least 1 drink.

DIV 1 & 3 – SUNDAY CANCELLED

You read correct.
The pitch at Dulwich is not ready to play on – as such both the Business and Leisure games will be postponed.

Before we rant and rave – this was not the SCC’s fault – and therefore Nike Newton and Anti-Basher Tsesmelis are not to blame (there’s a first…)

Info will be circulated once the fixture list has been amended.

All complaints to president@basherscc.org – please title the email: ‘We Love You Cranky’
