Each event above will go up on the blog separately as we draw closer to these dates.
There are lots of plans being made for this season and a lot of cricket to be played. Once the full season schedule is in place I will update the calendar with tours and social details.
Looking forward to what is shaping up to be a great year for the Bashers. Please mail me at play@basherscc.org if you have any questions.
Last training of the regular season. 123 Yanping Road, San He Hua Yuan, Thursday 6pm to 8pm.
All three teams playing this Sunday so should be a good turnout (or at the very least more than the 5 than come last week!)

Training is booked for Thursday 6pm – 8pm at 123 Yanping Road, San He Hua Yuan Tennis Courts.
Both Business and Pleasure are still alive with two games to go. Let’s get along to training and make sure this weekend is a winning one!!
Attendance below please!

Courts are pre-booked again this Thursday by some evil San He residents. Best we can do is Wednesday, 6pm – 8pm.
123 Yanping Road, San He Tennis Courts for those that don’t know.
I’ll try and book all the Thursdays in September in advance to prevent this atrocity from happening again. (Or you could vote in a new CC come Nov.)

Ok, it sounds like some sort of S & M club that The Korean would be found in but it actually looks like good clean fun.
It will involve some running around so it kind of counts as training. Its not that far from the Camel so we could do an hour of shooting our loads over each other and then head back to there as normal.
I was thinking aim to meet there at 7pm.
Please let me know your if you are in and I will let them know we are cuming.
The address is;
B/1, 366 Zhaojiabang Lu,
near Xiangyang Lu
肇嘉浜路366号,
近襄阳路
Some scoundrel booked the courts from 7pm – 8pm. For tennis of all bloody things. An hour is worthless for training, doubly so given that most turn up at 6.30 anyway! On top of that it’ll probably rain so training is pre-emptively cancelled.
My apologies for not getting on top of this booking earlier.
Other ideas welcome!!
Complaints to my secretary please.

So here we go again. Its that time of the year to dust of your running shorts and get involved.
Last year a brave bunch of Bashers took to the starting line with varying levels of training miles under their belts and pounded down the roads of Shanghai on a beautiful winter’s morning and showed how piss easy it is to knock out a half or full marathon!
This year the date is December 4th giving you exactly 113 days to get your shit together. Please show interest below, we will get training groups going in the next few weeks probably tagging onto one of the HASH runs like we did last year.
This is a great event and everyone that took part last year not only enjoyed the day but defiantly enjoyed the post race drinking!
We will also be getting the biggest looser sweep stakes going again with a weigh in taking place once we know who the runners and riders are.
Don’t be shy, your mother wasn’t!
If you’re stuck to the sofa just follow the bashers as they train.
