The scene was set for another mammoth charity ‘push’ by the Bashers in Inner Mongolia. Seasoned tree planters, The Pusher, Woodstock & Parrot were once again embarking on their annual pilgrimage to Inner Mongolia to become one with their shovels and mother earth and spread the good word of the Bashers and the gospel of Cricket to the children of Kunlunqi.

Roots and Shoots – Jane Gala a Success

The Friends of the Jane Gala held on Sunday the 26th September at the JW Marriott proved a huge success as charity was able able to reach their target of rmb500,000 for the night with the Bashers members contributing almost rmb30,000 on the night to this. Well done guys!!!

The night saw many people from the who’s who attending but none looked as sharply dressed as the men in Blue from the Bashers Cricket Club. From being welcomed in with no need for tickets to be shown on arrival, given a table in the front of the stage in the centre, to being named during the opening speeches along with the major contributors of the charity. People knew who we were by the end of the evening.

The Bashers members held their heads up high for as long as they could after wooshing down copious amounts of booze
and ensuring the smokers corner was occupied at all times.

Again a big thank you goes out to all those who attended that evening and representing. A big thank you also goes out to all the other Bashers who being unable to attend for whatever reasons that have and continue to contribute to this great cause.

Bashers in KunLunQi, Inner Mongolia

Bashers Cricket in Inner Mongolia

“Hi, I’m Richard, do you want to see my underpants?”

What better way for a Basher to greet the Million Tree Project representative Heather Wigmore on arrival at Kun Lun Qi, Inner Mongolia, a town of 50,000 in one of China’s poorest areas  The Bashers trio of Parrot, Pusher and Woodstock had just traversed 200km of arid zone, invigorated by fresh air, sunshine, blue skies, and a third place at the Frank’s Place pub quiz the previous night. Parrot was understandably euphoric after making up severe deficiencies in his  underwear ensemble during a snack stop on the way from TongLiao airport.  The Bashers faced a busy few days in the desert, and it was not the time for wardrobe malfunctions.

Thanks must be extended to our generous prize sponsors;

Coca-Cola, Donelli, Diageo, Just Beer, Kooka Pies, Mrs Pusher’s cakes & One Wellness.
