Who we are...

For the benefit of the teams who have to visit us.

Welcome along.  Our terrain is situated in the Bressingham Village Hall car park, High Road, Bressingham, IP22 2AT (opposite the village stores).  There is plenty of parking space with toilet facilities on site.  We will be supplying sandwiches, teas and coffees (but no beer) after matches.  The local pub here has been closed for some time but you can bring your own drinks if you wish.

We use the official Obut circles as they can be clearly seen and are the correct maximum diameter.  All NCPA matches start at 7.30, Thursday evenings.  Suffolk Coastal League games are usually played at around 11.30, Sunday mornings.

Let's hope it warms up a bit otherwise I shall be wearing gloves (which is allowed)!

Floodlighting

We will be setting up and testing our portable floodlighting tonight.  If all goes to plan we will then have a game, as many of us have not played under lighting before.  There are four poles (in two parts) with two LED 10W low energy lights on each, so between 280-360 lumens in total.

UPDATE:  I'm afraid the lighting was not sufficient for our needs.  We have now opted for 500W halogen lamps as they are tried and tested.  The others are up for sale if anyone is interested (for the garden perhaps) - £5 each (normally cost around £10).  Two have been sold already!

Rule snippets

As it is nearing the start of the season, I thought it might be a good time to brush up on the rules.  Article 8 is not one I am particularly fond of (second paragraph).

Don't forget we have a meeting tonight... same bat time, same bat channel!
