Delighted to hear this went ahead, and I'm sorry I couldn't make it in the end. How many players turned up? As I said, I'll defintely be up for this if it becomes a weekly event, and am available this weekend - although it is a bank holiday so that may impact on the numbers.

11 people showed up, shivvey and I paid up front, and then collected €7 from each person.

Some people mentioned that they would prefer to play on Monday because it’s a bank holiday weekend, but apart from that I think Sunday will be the usual day if it goes ahead

Ok, so are we moving locations? I'm not sure of gyms with courts around the city centre....

We kinda need to sort something out for Monday today/tomorrow to ensure we have a court and so that we can notify people to get the numbers up.... It'll be easier for me to organise stuff once I hit pay day next wednesday!

I am happy enough with this location.

If we have 10 people willing to pay up front & block book the court for the month
it will work out at €6 a head for each session.
Overall €24 for the month.
Obviously with more people it will be cheaper.

10 will be the minimum number otherwise it will be too expensive

will people commit to this???

shivvyban · 21-10-2009 8:14am

So its looking like people won't be able to make it this weekend.... Does anyone think we should leave it for this weekend and then organise the block booking the following week? I can sort out the booking on Wednesday and then collect the money from everyone on the Sunday.

How does this sound to people?

shivvyban · 21-10-2009 8:24am

Fantabulous logo - thanks to the boredom of Scottie Pippen!

I was thinking that too. As a quite a few people who attending on Sunday mentioned that they were away on Sunday.
So the block booking would be starting from Sunday 1st of November.

Ps I’m up for an outdoor game in Fairview or Artane on Monday if the weather isn’t too bad

1ST OF NOVEMBER = Perfect for me! I'll sort out the booking...

P.S: Depending on weather I should be free for that too - am so poor this week anything free to do on the bank holiday weekend is welcome!

N-line · 21-10-2009 8:42pm

i could come, but i wouldn't bring €24, i probably would only €10 :S

Demi D · 21-10-2009 9:23pm

Thats ok N-line, it would just mean you'd be paying on a weekly basis

and weekly should only be about €6

Demi D wrote: »

Cool, Demi D!! Thats no problem!

List for attendees for the 1st November (Sunday)

Shivvyban - €24

shivvyban · 27-10-2009 8:56am

Righto... am booking court tomorrow for a month starting with Sunday 1st November (Sunday coming)...

If you want to pay for the month it will be €24 (weekly, we'll go for €6), click the basketball logo in my sig to email me or if you'd like, PM me your interest including your email address.

I think we have the numbers to make this up! As soon as its booked I will be sending a group email to everyone's email that was given to me the last week along with the people who pm their details!

Exact times (am pretty sure we'll be sticking to the 6pm - 7pm time slot) and location will also be included in the email...

scottie pippen · 27-10-2009 10:28am

thats great, I'll send on info to Dave & Vinnie.

Thanks Scottie!

Also, forgot to mention...

THIS IS STILL OPEN TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO COME ALONG!

shivvyban · 28-10-2009 9:04am

Didn;t get a chance to check my hotmail last night but just want to double check on some people...

Wreck, JessieJames and Demi D, are you guys still interested?

If I am to make this booking I need numbers of definite payers of €24 and €6... need to see what I can work out with sportsco... alternatively PM (no access to hotmail at work.... :mad:)

Anyhoo, let me know!

Looking forward to this again as the last time was a huge success - we even had one sub... which if possible would like to get the numbers to 12.

Even if you know people who aren't on boards but would like to play put them in touch with me. I'll pm my number if its needed for any questions (gotta love free o2 texts!).

shivvyban · 28-10-2009 12:52pm

I would like to confirm your booking of Sports Hall for the following dates, between 6 – 7pm:

1st November
8th November
15th November
22nd November

4 sessions at €70, the total payment due: €280

The original girl who I was speaking to last week told me the price if you are member by mistake. If we get ten people its €28 each and the weekly payees can pay a weekly rate of €7.

Is this ok??? Please guys, I kinda need feedback on this v v v v v soon!

Lafortezza · 28-10-2009 1:04pm

Looking forward to this.

shivvyban · 30-10-2009 2:53pm

Wreck · 02-11-2009 12:52pm

Well that was fun! Thanks for the game, looking forward to next week already, provided I'm recovered - even walking is a struggle today

Whats the standard like? Skill wise and fitness wise?

I wasn't as wrecked this week after playing as I was the first week so here's hoping I'll get better as the weeks go by.

You scored some nice 3pointers did you not? (Even though they only counted as 1point)
wasn’t as wreaked this week myself.

Wouldn’t mind heading out to play on Tuesday as well

shivvyban · 02-11-2009 2:14pm

I would but with work its tough to know when I'll make it... will def keep the tuesdays in mind though!

Righto, had a great time last night guys (Wreck, I will conquer you and Tourneque, I intend on learning how to catch your passes! It seems I have the refelxes of a cat... a dead one!

)

So we're all booked in for next week so monthly payers - go you! and weekly players... please come back again!

8 was a good number but who knows, we'll probably have billions next week... *ahem*

(Click the logo for the link to the blog... its a tad $hite at the moment but we'll get there!)

shivvyban · 06-11-2009 11:36am

Anyways moving on from slightly sexist and agist remarks.... :rolleyes:

Just a quick reminder - basketball in sportsco at 6pm on Sunday 8th - please bring a ball if you have one...

scottie pippen · 08-11-2009 11:05pm

think a few people got lost on the way.

Lafortezza · 09-11-2009 12:17am

Yeah we only had 5 tonight, hope we get more in the next couple of weeks.

scottie pippen · 09-11-2009 9:06am

Was a good game even though we only had a small number people.

Wreck · 09-11-2009 11:52am

Yeah it was still fun, and I'm in surprisingly little pain today!

LuckyLloyd · 09-11-2009 4:09pm

Lads, I'd love to play! Essentially a beginner. Could be there this Sunday, and from then on. Link to directions? I'd be getting Public Transport out. Cheers.

shivvyban · 09-11-2009 4:39pm

Hey LuckyLloyd, I get the bus in from the city centre so I could meet you on O'Connell st on sunday. PM and we'll swap details!

Also, if you know anyone who'd be interested in coming along, BRING THEM!

And I saw your post on the poker forum... Don't be worried about having not played in years! I hadn't played in 6 years before I started two months ago! I'm also a smoker so fitness... ummmm... not so much my strong point!

Also, guys follow the blog... It feels empty... (this is just my ego needing people following me... twitter has not fulfilled this need just yet

)

Will have booking confirmation for the hall for you guys tomorrow!

Can't believe I couldn't go this week

Damn stupid teeth!

Gator · 09-11-2009 8:20pm

Whats the craic lads, id love to get a piece of this as I have been out of the bball game for nearly 3 years due to nite college. Seeing as I have promised to go back Div 1 next year I really should start practicing.

Is it ok if I join you on the next session?

**EDIT** PM Sent
