I'll be down KP. Westside

in the sand pit?

Newtown's looking lush

its on:
3.30pm
Newtown park #2
all welcome

good text response so far

good turnout- 5 Sunday Blazers, 5 Wgtn Utd Salmon, Bopman, 1 random Island Bay Kid (had U19's on his top-good player) and a random Muslim who (not kidding!) faced Mecca at half time.

played 60 mins in the sun on a superb pitch- think it might be a regular Summer thing- Newtown at 4pm every Sunday- bring sunblock and a good attitude

sounds good salmon, as you din't include "skill" or "fitness" in your 'to bring list' i might well give it a lash

Ok -it seems i was bit premature in arranging this before i spoke to Mrs Salmon-I have been called in to babysit (is that the right word when its your baby?)

feel free to turn up anyway but my leadership and orgabisational skills (and Ball) won't be present

but ill be at the Teedub game!

next week mabye? know what age group?

About 12-14 people- forumites incl. myself, Robb Watson, Stefan and Oska. assorted Wgtn Utd Salmon and Blazers and a lot of local african kids who are actually VERY good.

only one scratch your head moment when parks staff asked us to move on-(bear in mind i work for WCC so should really know better).

Now i understand that the ground is phoenix training ground but it is also a local aprk where hundreds of kids recreate, they can't play bball there anymore cause the court got turned into a car park for the zoo.

i think its a sad day when a bunch of loxal kids and a few grown ups who should know better can't have a kickabout on the local park- the phoenix effect in action?

so next week we'll move to MT Albert or Martin Luckie Parks, Berhampore- just up the road from Newtown #2 to keep the parks staff happy.
