Bashers. It's Shanghainese for Cricket

Australia Day At Kakadu

If you are lucky enough to be staying in Shanghai over the coming holiday then you defiantly definitely need to head down to Kakadu on the 26th Jan for what will be one of best tasting Australia Day parties in town.

James and the guys will be putting on one of their famous all you can eat BBQ’s for 150rmb (including a free beer) with great prices on Aussie beers and wine provided by the bloody brilliant guys at Just Beer.

Put your name down below if you can make it and lets go support two of the clubs best supporters.

You flamin’ Galah’s!

Thursday Drinks at The Camel – Bashers Shot Selection Round 1

Now we are all back in the swing of things lets get back on track with some off season training! We need to start working on some important stuff for the 2012 season and I cant think of a better place to start than The Camel!

Firstly we need the 2012 Bashers Shot sorting out. This may seem insignificant to many but these will be forced upon you at a moments notice with no warning so we defiantly need to work on the recipe from last year.

The selected mix last season was;

Whisky
Drambuie
Grenadin
Lime
Bitters
Tabasco

Now i’m not saying this wasn’t an inspired selection but it did taste fairly rough. As always the Bashers strive to improve and we defiantly cant fail to improve on this.

So, come down for a drink and an open discussion and maybe a taste test or 2 this Thursday 12th from around 7pm.

Also after a few testers we can start practicing a reenactmentof this….

4,000 tree Bashers Bush!

Happy New Year to you Bashers out there! I hope you all had a great holiday and are ready to hit 2012 for a big old six!

To start the year of with a bang I am happy to announce that with all the hard work we put in last year with Shanghai Roots and Shoots we have achieved the great land mark of 4000 trees and thus we have our very own forest!

Here is a great message from Tori, Zeezee and the team at Roots and Shoots explaining what we have achieved and re-confirming that The Bashers set the standard for all other clubs in Shanghai.

The certificate will be taking pride of place on the wall in the Members End at the Camel and serve as a reminder to all of us that this club is so much more than just Cricket. (more…)

Roots & Shoots thank The Bashers

At the Roots & Shoots Board meeting a couple of weeks ago special mention was made of Latex for helping put together the R&S Donors Drinks evening last month.  Also thanks to all Bashers that turned up at that evening.  Again last night at the Marriott Fund Raiser for R&S big thanks to all Bashers who fronted up to contribute RMB 10K for a table as well as those that bought items in the auction and of course for the Bashers on stage performance. Latex’s new skull ashtray was the auction bargain of the night. Special mention was also made of those Bashers who have volunteered time to help with the tree planting and visit the school in Inner Mongolia. R&S Chairperson Tori Zwisler said “the Bashers are always the life and soul of the party”.  Last night the Bashers logo had equal billing on the stage backdrop beside Fortune 500 company logos.

Yesterday afternoon Barcadi, who are a major donor to R&S, spoke to me about putting together a big party earlier next year together with the Bashers for all R00ts & Shoots contributors/donors and staff etc…..Bacardi, Babes and Bashers type thing which could be very big. Bacardi will source a great venue.

So on behalf of everyone at Roots & Shoots a big thank you. Bashers are way ahead of both the rest of the cricketing community and most sports clubs in Shanghai when it comes to getting behind good causes.
