You lucky, lucky people!! Richard Jones, your tireless Vice-Captain, has arranged some nets to shake off those off-season cobwebs. You remember the drill from last year - what do you mean you've never been before? Just make you bring your thermals and you'll be fine...

Venue: Aylesford School, Shelley Avenue, Warwick - 11:00 a.m. SHARP till 12:30 p.m. and thereafter at The Old Fourpenny Shop, Crompton Street, Warwick, to discuss your form.

Dates: Sundays 27th January, 10th and 24th February, 9th, 16th and 30th March, and 6th April (oh dear!)

As Richard states in his accompanying email: "This schedule gets you started straight after the Dinner, neatly sidesteps Mothering Sunday and misses Easter. As nets were so well attended this year it also allows me to squeeze in an extra session for 2008."

Everyone will be chased to appear on as many occasions as possible - especially batsmen who enjoy facing the veteran tweaker.
