    Hi Folks :D,

    Mixed, easy going game in the city centre been running for a few years on Wed evenings (7-8pm) each week - is looking for a few new heads.

    Standard is mixed so not looking for hard core players, just easy going people interested in getting back into basketball in a casual game.

    Game is mixed and we could do with a few new ladies to re-balance the game.

    Drop an e-mail to cormacmacdonnell@gmail.com or haukes@yahoo.com if interested.

    By any chance is this still happening? If not does anyone know about any pick up games or open sessions in the city centre open to girls?

    Just a simple question.
    How can I join in these games, go to the club directly or should I contact with some?

    Thanks

    Any of the games I've been to require you to 'join' before attending to control the numbers. Majority do it through Facebook groups, some use a mailing list.
