Forget what the adults think...we want the tea...straight from the kids.
We want to connect IRL with some lads who play cricket locally.
Year 7 - 13 at school.
Playing in our Division 7a, Division 5, Senior, and Sunday League competitions.
If that's you, we're hosting a low key yarn over pizza next Tuesday 9th of June at Bay Oval, and we'd be grateful for your time.
The session will run from 5:30pm - 7:00pm.
It will run workshop style, with some questions to answer individually and in groups, things to vote on and interesting scenarios to debate. We promise to try and make it interesting and not too awkward!
Get Mum or Dad to drop you and the squad off for an hour or so...we bet they won't miss you.
Please if you are coming, complete this quick Google Form, mostly so we have a enough pizza ๐
