    It's great that there seems to be more people interest here!!

    Eoin will tell ya that the standard doesn't matter, its all about having a bit of a run around and a laugh.

    We tend to get 3-5 people who want to play.To be honest it would be better that we had 6-10 people interested.

    I think the min we should play with is 6, and we should try and build from there.

    I can't do 3rd Sept, i'm on a jolly in Paris with work.
    But i don't mind booking and handing over the ball to someone.

    its down to the numbers we can get......it would be great to make it work.

    Let me know.

    Hi Dave,

    If you want to pass the ball to me, send me a PM and we can arrange to hook up. I'm not around for two weeks after this week, so I'll give the ball to someone else (Eoin?) to look after on Wednesday.

    Enjoy Paris.

    As it's started to rain (again) and the low numbers of confirmations mean there's not much point in three of us standing in the rain.

    I'll call to cancel. Hopefully we can get something together in the coming weeks.

    Only spotted this thread now. I'm working in greystones at the moment, so I might be interested in helping make up the numbers. Used to play when I was in school.

    If it's definitely going to be on a wednesday night, then it shouldn't be too hard for me to get off work that evening.

    I think, given the run of bad weather/luck over the summer, that perhaps we should investigate hiring the court in the new swimming pool?

    I didn't realise there was one in there... That'd be cool!

    Would there be any point setting up a mailing list with all the people interested in playing too?

    The weather is not helping us!!

    I suggest we look at booking the new indoor facilities at the new swimming pool (assuming they do basketball.)

    I believe they will require money up front, which may also mean that people will have to comitt.

    If you are interested in a regular game of basket ball please pm me and over the next few weeks we can see what we can organise.

    Thanks

    Are any of you interested in trying to put together a regular game in the new sports centre? I checked out the place two weeks ago and have been wanting to play ever since.

    Are you still thinking of a mix male and female?

    I would be on for a regular game but it depends on numbers we can get and the night and time we plan on playing.

    Have no problem with mixed male/female; fit/unfit; average/poor.

    It's likely that we would have to pay up front, but i'm not sure, so we would need some comittment.

    :)So, If your interested please post with your preferred night of the week.:)

    ERM! Tuesday/Wednesday. I commute, public transport,from Tallaght so to be on the safe side 8pm would give me plenty of time to get home.

    Wednesday for me too.

    I think that the new community center have a basketball session on one night a week where you just show up and pay to play. Perhaps if someone has a timetable to hand they can confirm?

    Hey,

    myself and a couple of people are hitting the centre tonight for some basketball, although tonight (Monday 10th Nov '08) is On Peak, so its €60 per hour for the hall!! but if we got around 10 people, 6 each isnt bad for an hour of play...

    we were thinking 8:30pm tonight, will check back on this thread soon,
    it's mixed too.

    Ken

    I know this thread is a bit old. But is there any games on during the week at all? and if not, does anyone fancy starting something up, just a friendly game of bball the odd week?

    I wish there was free public courts in greystones, where you could just go and play when you want but there isn't :( I desperately want a game lol

    It was open to everyone the last time we had it up and running - the more the merrier IMO.

    That would have ruled most of us out.

    Still though Eoin, "Team Moderator" did a reasonable job! The cream of the crap!

    Wicklowgal, the standard is "mixed". Some are awful, some terrible.
