  1. The Lunis have been homeless since the summer when we lost the use of
    the hall where we used to play in Tufnell park. This Thursday (17th)
    we're trying out a new venue, the 'Westway Sports Centre'
    (http://www.westway.org/sports/wsc/basketball) near Westbourne Park. If
    anyone wants to come and join us you'll be more than welcome.

    We've got the netball court booked from 9 til 10pm, it's a bit late but
    it's all they had. We're meeting at the sports centre reception at
    8:45, if you're late or can't find us give my mobile a call, 07976
    732723.

  4. Is that the outdoor courts actually under the westway?

    Floodlit outdoor courts are cool for hockey, you don't get so hot
    outside and they're usually way cheaper than booking sports halls. Plus
    you get the added variety that is all weather play.

    Post up if you're making it a regular thing, it'd be cool to come down
    some point and play, especially if it's on a thursday night, what with
    it being closer to the weekend than tuesday. I've been meaning to come
    down and do some muni-ing anyway.

  5. Good to hear you found a new venue.
    I trust it will serve you well.
    Any chance of a Luni presence at 'EJC 2006' (http://tinyurl.com/c26en)?

  7. Joe, it is the outdoor courts underneath the Westway, I've played a bit
    of 5 a side there with work, and it's OK considering it's underneath a
    motorway!

    Gild, there might be a Luni presence at EJC, I guess it depends on
    whether people can get enough time off work to do EJC *and* UNICON. So
    much uni stuff so close to home next year!

  9. I'm hoping to try and get it a little earlier in future. 8:00 would be
    better for most of us, but unfortunately 9:00 was all they had this
    week.

  11. It was great, the court seems massive - it can't be much bigger than our
    old court. It's tarmac, but flat and smooth. The steel mesh walls make
    for interesting rebound shots, sometimes the ball comes straight back!

    Only 5 of us made it in the end, Jonny, Antoine, Charlie, Kelly and me,
    hopefully next week we'll get a few more players.

    I've booked the court for 9pm next Thursday, the 24th, unfortunately I
    couldn't get an earlier slot, it would be great to see some more
    players next week, it doesn't matter if you've never played before,
    come along and have a go.

  12. Just a little reminder that Hockey is on this Thursday (24th) from 9pm
    to 10pm at the Westway.

    It's outside, but underneath the A40 flyover so you don't get too wet
    when it rains. The surface is smooth Tarmac, it's a bit abrasive on
    sticks but OK to play on and great for fast turns!

  14. Just a little reminder that Hockey is on this Thursday (1st December)
    from 9pm to 10pm at the Westway.

    'Westway Website' (http://www.westway.org/sports/wsc/basketball)

    'Streetmap showing location' (http://tinyurl.com/8h2td)

    It's outside, but underneath the A40 flyover so you don't get too wet
    when it rains. The surface is smooth Tarmac, it's a bit abrasive on
    sticks, but OK to play on and great for fast turns!

    Directions to the Westway by car are below,

    TO GET TO WESTWAY SPORTS CENTRE BY CAR FROM THE NORTH OR WEST
    Approach along the Westway (A40). Take the exit marked Hammersmith &
    Shepherds Bush (A3220). The road comes down to Holland Park Roundabout,
    a very large one with a central glass tower. Take the first exit signed
    Central London. Immediately turn left into Royal Crescent and
    immediately left again into St Ann's Villas. Continue, bearing very
    slightly right at the junction before the railway bridge (the road is
    now called Bramley Road). Drive under the railway bridge to the flyover
    bridge ahead. Drive under the flyover bridge and immediately turn left
    into Crowthorne Road - the car park entrance ramp is then immediately
    in front of you, the car parking is in the Centre's own underground car
    park (below our full-size football pitch) and as a Westway user you pay
    only £1 for up to seven hours parking. To ensure that you pay only £1
    you MUST get your car park ticket validated at the Sports Centre
    Reception when you LEAVE the Centre.

    TO GET TO WESTWAY SPORTS CENTRE BY CAR FROM THE SOUTH
    Approach on the one-way system that comes past the Earl's Court
    Exhibition Centre (Warwick Road) - follow the system up Holland Road to
    the major roundabout (Holland Park Roundabout) with a central glass
    tower. Take the third exit signed Notting Hill Gate (A402). As you
    drive round the roundabout ensure that you are in the left lane at the
    point where you leave it, because you need to turn left almost
    immediately; turn left into Royal Crescent and immediately left again
    into St Ann's Villas. Continue up this road, bearing slightly right at
    the junction before the railway bridge (the road is now called Bramley
    Road). Drive under the railway bridge to the motorway bridge ahead.
    Drive under the motorway bridge and immediately turn left into
    Crowthorne Road - the car park entrance ramp is then immediately in
    front of you, the car parking is in the Centre's own underground car
    park (below our full-size football pitch) and as a Westway user you pay
    only £1 for up to seven hours parking. To ensure that you pay only £1
    you MUST get your car park ticket validated at the Sports Centre
    Reception, when you LEAVE the Centre.

    See you Thursday,

    Paul
