1. 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!

  2. Bashers 2010 AGM Dinner – KAKADU

    AGM DINNER AND COMMITTEE ELECTIONS
    ———————————
    Dear Bashers, that time is again soon approaching fast where the
    end of the season dinner is almost upon us and a time where we
    as club come together to decide our future.
    The date is chosen as it coincides a week after the Xiamen tour
    and a week before the Hong Kong Cricket 6′s tour which is our
    last club event for the season.
    As always the club will have the first 30/45 minutes of club
    stuff like financial standing, Bashers progress on how we have
    grown and what we have achieved for 2010, the future of the
    club (SCC/SRFC issue) and of course  the new club Committee
    to be voted in.
    The non official awards then to follow regarding each players’
    antics for the season and then party till dawn….
    So for now 2 things are required from you members:
    1)  please confirm that you as a member will be in
    attendance with or without partner
    2)  please think about who you feel best reprsents you in the
    club in the role of Committee member or other exective
    roles. If already in position, renominate them otherwise
    before nominating someone else get that persons
    agreement first to run.
    Saves time knowning that those nominated are prepared
    for the role.
    The venue has yet to be confirmed or decided but the
    general format for the night has been agreed that a buffet
    will be layed out and that all members upon arrival with their
    partners should they bring them (you are encouraged to do
    so) do not have to wait a lengthy time prior to eating and
    drinking.

  6. **** IMPORTANT REMINDER ****

    Guys,

    On behalf of everyone in the Committee – I am posting this to make sure that all registered Bashers are aware:

    The Bashers GEOFF HOWE BENEFIT QUIZ and AUCTION NIGHT has been POSTPONED to JULY 1st at CAMEL BAR!!!

    Dear All

    In case you have not already heard, the date for the Geoff Howe Benefit (World Cup Quiz Night and the Auction) has been postponed from Friday June 25th to Thursday July 1st. The event opens at 6.30, with the Quiz commencing at 7.30 sharp. So be there at 6.30 to organize your teams and get good tables.

    We apologize for change, but please understand that the World Cup is on, and an appropriate venue has been difficult to secure arrangements for such an event. The Camel Bar have thankfully saved the day for us, and the date is especially good because it is the first in weeks WITHOUT a World Cup game scheduled.

    So please inform anyone who you have previously told about this event that the date and venue have been changed. We apologize for the inconvenience, and your patience and understanding would be appreciated. We are all trying our best to support this effort.

    The attached flyer shows the new time and date and return to the old venue – the Camel Bar. There are some great new prizes and we will be sending another flyer around early next week with the full updated list and description of prizes. Some details are currently available on our website: http://basherscc.org/blog/2010/05/18/raffle-for-geoff/

    We look forward to seeing you all there!!

  7. Never Trust a Cricketer… …

    Never Trust a Cricketer…

    Come all ye fair young maidens and harken unto me,
    Never trust a cricketer, whoever he may be.
    Randier than a sailor who’s been six months at sea,
    Never let a cricketer’s hand an inch above your knee.
    First, let’s take the pace man, pure speed from first to last!
    My darlings, do be careful; his balls are hard and fast.

  8. WC Quiz

    No not a whole evening of questions on Water Closets, although there may be some. No it’s the Bashers Trivia World Cup 2010.

    Usually gaiety and cerebral exercise with some big old prizes in a new venue with a Filthy new quizmonster.

    Bashers Soccer City located a stagger away from the Camel on Yongfu lu, Number 47, fourth floor to be exact.

    Entry will be 100RMB per head again. We’ll be starting early this time so we can try to be done by 1opm when the North Koreans will invade play Côte d’Ivoire (Pothole & Made In v Oscar & Cranky). The Brazilians (Stats & Brokeback) and Portuguese (Ivo & Pusher) might have to watch their match in the gents washroom.

    Also of course we’ll be drawing the final winners for the Big Geoff Benefit Raffle so really what possible reason would you have to miss this one?

    This is going to be massive!
