Really terrific to see everyone up at Box hill today. Thanks to all for making the effort - I know some journeys weren't too clever. Even the weather was nice to us which was the icing on the cake! I actually remembered to bring the camera and then forgot to take any pictures! I know there were folks taking pictures so be sure to post them when you have a moment.
I know Paul was having problems with new posts (apparently 'comments' were OK so that's really odd). It seems there is an option for a new 'post editor' which I might activate - see if that helps. Apparently it makes posting images easier amongst other things so we will see how it goes. Any problems drop me an email / txt and I can switch it back.

Just a quickie!
I was just going to suggest meeting up on Sunday at Box Hill at 1 o'clock. There is a big car park right by the shop, so either meet there or somewhere on the field nearby.
Paul did mention a bat, which I hadn't thought about - any takers / volunteers?

Bristol Graduation
Apologies for not announcing Lauren's success with her degree! A 2.1 at Bristol is something to be *very* proud of - we certainly are! We went down to see the graduation ceremony on Thursday and had a great time - here are a couple of the many photos we took.

Simplified Rounders Rules
All looks pretty straightforward (-;

• Games shall be played between 2 teams.
• A team consisting of a maximum of 15 players and a minimum of 6 of whom no more than 9 may be on the field at one time.
Batter
• Wait in the backward area well away from 4th Post.

No Ball if:
• Not smooth underarm action.
• Ball is above head or below knee.
• Ball bounces on way to you.
• Is wide or straight at body.
• The bowler's foot is outside the square during the bowling action.
You can take a normal run on a no ball, but once you reach 1st Post you cannot return. You score in the normal way.
Scoring
• 1 rounder if 4th Post reached and touched before next ball is bowled.
• 1 rounder if 4th Post reached on no ball (you cannot be caught out).
• 1/2 rounder if 4th Post reached without hitting the ball.
• 1/2 rounder if 2nd Post reached after hitting the ball (you stay at 1st whilst ball is in the backward area).
• Penalty 1/2 rounder for an obstruction by a fielder.
• Penalty 1/2 rounder for 2 consecutive no balls (to the same batter).

• Running inside Post (unless obstructed).
• The Post you are running to is stumped.
• You lose contact with the post during bowler's action when he has possession in his square.
• You overtake.
• You obstruct (you have right of way on track only).
Running Around The Track - Please Carry The Bat
• If you stop at a post you must keep contact with the Post, hand or bat. If you do not, the fielding side can stump the following Post to put you out.
• You can run on to a post even if it has been previously stumped.
(You do not score if you do it on 4th Post).
• When the bowler has the ball in his square, you cannot move on, but if you are between Posts, you can carry on to the next.
• You cannot have two batters at a Post. The umpire will ask the first to run on when second one makes contact.

Box Hill it is!
Don't want to be the bossy big brother (!) but I reckon we should just settle on Box Hill on 31st July. Paul and Mark were thinking of taking a rain check a week before and going for an alternative if the weather forecast for that weekend is atrocious.

Let's get our act together!
Hello Peeps
Only 4 weeks until 31st July, and we still haven't decided on a venue, or anything else come to that!
What's happening?
