Bashers. It's Shanghainese for Cricket

2011 Awards Nominations

Help!

While you wait for your blazers to be dry-cleaned for next weekend please have a think about Bashers deserving of recognition this year.

We’ll take any suggestions you have, any moments from 2011 which are deserving of acknowledgement.

Have a look at the previous year’s awards (in the sidebar at right) for some idea of some of the traditional awards which need filling.

Have a read through some of the lumberjack reports to jog your memories.

I don’t care, nominate yourself if you want.

To keep things as opaque as possible, please send all nominations through to blog@basherscc.org

Also, any photos from this season, don’t keep them to yourself. Send them in just like you didn’t last year.

do it now!

cheers

Cricket For Smiles Begins

Many of you have already bought a patch, if you haven’t talk to your skipper at the next game. 80rmb is not a big ask, most just round it up to 100. This seems like a win win idea, spreading some cricket love in difficult times in Japan. The patches are on their way, Latex will be organising a sewing bee to attach them shortly. In the meantime witness some of the smiles you’ve had a part in.

New Bashers Day Quiz

With the social committee gone all international i guess it falls to me to let anyone who doesn’t already know that the second Bashers quiz has been booked in for the Camel this Saturday the 14th.

I guess it falls to me to also make up some questions for you.

New guys. suffice to say that this is something you don’t want to miss, Bashers quiz nights have a long, illustrious, largely mirky history.

Anyone welcome so get everyone you know involved.

Start cramming! Get your teams together or just turn up and muck in. Remember points at stake for the Trivia league.

Previous quiz results.

When the social committee return from the beach they’ll fill in the blanks here.

Keep looking around the site, there’ll be a bunch of clues to be found throughout the week.

Oh and the President wants to say something about your Bashers Cards. You never knew before how useful they are!
