Bashers. It's Shanghainese for Cricket

Junior Cricket

Junior Cricket starts in spring.

David Boyle will be starting spring training at SRFC shortly. The actual date of the first training session is yet to be advised but that should not stop us collecting name of all those interested in getting their kids enrolled to the Bashers Junior team.

So all those parents interested in getting the children outside and in the fresh air for a bit of fun, please put the names down of your children who you wish to enroll.

The expected times for junior training is 11am every Sunday, thus once the season starts, please arrange yourself accordingly around these times. As mentioned start date to be advised soon with further details.

Lastly, we need an official name for the Juniors, some have already come up with some interesting choices which are in the running, so all idea’s welcome as we need to decide before the Spring start.

C’mon the nippers!!!!!

Shanghai 2010 Sports Awards

UPDATE!

Vote HERE for anyone other than the Hot Logs..

—————————————————————-

In true Bashers style we have been totally overlooked for the inaugural Shanghai Sports awards.

We were probably too busy out running marathons, climbing mountains, planting trees or raising shed loads of money for great charities to notice the e-mail about this kind of trivial sycophantic event.

BUT I think its our duty to go along and make our presence felt the only way we know how by getting on the piss some more and shouting abuse any time the Hotlogs are mentioned.

As its a Thursday night at the Camel (Our club night) we need to represent in blazers and show everyone else in Shanghai what a proper sports team is all about.

The date is Jan 27th and it kicks off from 8pm so aim to get there for 7pm and we can generally take over.

Flood Relief Feed

UPDATE!

See below an updated flyer for Sunday. There are now some serious auction and raffle prizes on offer. Get involved!

————————————————————————————

If you haven’t read the news today (oh boy) you wouldn’t know that half of Australia is under water.

Some good people have done the right thing and put together a bit of an event so you can help those in need and enjoy the process.

You guys all know Kakadu so it wouldn’t be strange at all to blaze along there on Sunday 23rd for a feed and a wallet full of cash to throw in a bucket.

If you have a surplus of goodies at work or something in the shed you need to move then give James (15902148227) or Lukeo (13917244685) a call and donate it as a prize for the myriad of raffles/auctions.

25rmb drinks (happy face), 100rmb bbq(happy bum).

Walking with Dinosaurs

We would like to invite anyone who wants to go see this amazing show in the ONLY English version on Saturday 22nd January at 11am at the new arena on the EXPO site.

You dont have to have kids to join in but if you do this should not be missed.

Tickets range in price from cheap to absurd, so we will book the middle ground at 260RMB each but good seats will go fast.

If you are keen please reply today so we can arrange seats together.

I will book tomorrow so think on your feet and dont miss out.

End of Season Function 2010

Here’s the final word for you as the pieces fall together for this Friday.
This is the biggest off field occasion for the Bashers this year and hopefully goes some way towards appeasing the long suffering Geishas.
The venue, in case you hadn’t tweaked yet, is our old friends at Kakadu.
So Blazer up for work Friday and come straight down after.

Everyone is welcome from the extended Bashers family. That means, you, your friend, your wife, your lover, your concubines, your colleagues, your parents, your grandparents, life coaches, private dancers… Just let Sir Dick know who you will be bringing so we have enough napkins prepared. This is as much about them as it is about you.

Please try to be on site by 18:30 so we can get through the AGM. Ladies there is a separate area for you to gossip, sip and compare notes on who is the studdliest Basher while this happens.

Afterwards, the eating will commence in earnest. It’s Kakadu, so you know it’ll be good.

Then we’ll have the 2010 FInal Fines Session where awards will be given to those who deserve them and a few who don’t.

And finally the looseness will take hold and we’ll do our best to top the efforts of previous years and drink the eskies (plural) dry.

The cost for this whole evening of food and booze is 150rmb per head, well worth the price of seeing Sir Dick do the splits alone. But wait, it gets even better, If you are a fully paid up 2010 Basher you get the special price of, wait for it… $NZ0. Yes that’s right, absolutely free for Bashers. But that’s not all, in addition to that, fully paid up Bashers will gain entry and all the food and all the drinks for the most important Geisha in your life, that’s right, a whole extra person, completely free! You heard it right, we’ve gone completely bonkers!

Kakadu is part of the Bridge 8 complex at 8 JianGuo road right down near ChongQing road. 上海市卢湾区建国中路8号桥5号楼1104A室. Phone them 54680118 if you get lost.

Get amongst it!

Autumn Future Prospects Round-Up

The 2030′s look to be a stellar decade for the Bashers with a bumper crop of new recruits springing forth in recent weeks.

First we had Mrs Unit making early delivery of Tommaso Lapthorne at 9:30pm on Wednesday 29 September. ”T-Man” clocked the scales at 3.5kg after a “smooth and clean delivery”

This momentous event was followed by a spring lamb in Sydney last week. Basher Yi Hao sired his second son Henry Michael Turner with the help of Princes Fiona on Thursday 21 October at 6pm just in time for happy hour at Marrickville Bowling club. Also 3.5kg.

the future is bright!
