Bring in the curlers

Friday 6th February

Written by Gwyn Williams

It was a cold day, and it inspired Alex from DCF to have curling as our warm-up activity. Fortunately, the room wasn't frozen, and he'd brought rolling curling stones. We went on to a game of cricket and then tea and biscuits.

The GoodGym, the Bad and the Ugly

Monday 2nd February

Written by Gwyn Williams

We got together with the friendly crowd at Derbyshire Cricket Foundation's Monday Mates monthly café. There was a bit of setting up to do, so we moved a lot of chairs and set up the very important tea and coffee table. One of the chairs was bad, so we sent it to the corner. There was an ugly face or two at the news that this would be Tim's last session here before he moves away.

On the straight and narrow

Friday 16th January

Written by Gwyn Williams

We met the gang at DCF's Parkinson's Cricket in a warm hall on a cold day. After a chat, we were recovering balls from the warm-up, then from the bowling practice, Alex made it harder by moving cones to make the bowling straighter and farther. The session finished with a chat over tea and biscuits.

'Snow stoppin' 'em

Monday 5th January

Written by Derby runner

Gwyn and Tracey joined their Monday Mates at Derbyshire Cricket Foundation. We turned up ahead of time to sort out the chairs and the mugs, but delayed on plating up the biscuits as we didn’t know how many would be needed due to the bad weather. Despite snow and ice, we had a good attendance, welcoming our friends into the new year. Alex from DCF had prepared a host of activities; colouring, wordsearches, crosswords and quizzes, and then we ended with a game of seated cricket. After the session we put the chairs back and discovered that lots of biscuits had been needed after all!

We met the gang at the session with Alex. There was a big turnout today. We had a very close warm-up game, a session of cricket and then a fuddle with a good chat and a singalong. There was excellent home-made cake!
