Boutique NZ invites you to attend our Summer Selection at Osteria

If any of the Bashers and Geishas feel like skipping practice next week (and supporting a fellow Basher) please come along to the Summer Selection at Osteria. I will be showcasing some of my fruit wines paired with some scallop, duck and lamb canapes. There will be free flow fruit wine and general merriment. See below!

Drinks Break Thursday

As usual a great meeting of the minds will be taking place Thursday evening. Meanwhile at the Big Bamboo will be Bashers drinks. A nice early start this week due to no nets. Undoubtedly many good times will be had and forgotten. The president's Father is even rumoured to be making an appearance! Don't forget your Bashers loyalty card and it wouldn't hurt to have you home address written out somewhere too.

Latest Just Beer Offer – FREE BEER!

For a limited time only! Any Basher can order a slab of Pure Blonde for 312rmb delivered and your lovely sponsor will throw in THREE FREE CASES of (slightly mature) VB.

Pleasure Match Report 3/5/09

The day started with Swahili bitching about not being able to find whites in this city. The situation started to look more and more dire as more Basher's showed up with 'non-regulation' equipment. It was starting to look as though the other team would start with a hundred on the board before a ball was bowled. Fortunately, the Business XI were kind enough to allow some of the disorganised Pleasure Bashers to get into their wet white pants so they could take to the field.

April 2009 Cricket Shanghai Newsletter

Welcome to the 2009 Season As discussed at last month's AGM, the Council will be sending out a monthly Communique to all members going forward. As there is a lot to get you all up to speed on this first edition will be slightly longer than normal. We hope you find these monthly communications useful and please feel free to let us know where we can develop further to keep everyone up to date. The new 2009 Season is well under way and the Council's plan to schedule double headers between all club's Div 1 & Div 2 teams has been well received and good for inter-club rivalry.

SCC Dragons game vs Beijing Sunday 17 May

Lads, As mentioned on Sunday, there is a 50 overÂ SCC Dragons game vs Beijing on Sunday 17 may at Dulwich. If you are interested in playing, please let me know. Once we knowÂ who is available, the SCC will choose the strongest team. Given that we are 2 wins from 2, I imagine a very strong Bashers contingent.
