Could #IslandGovCamp meet #twicket ?
With John Popham (of #twicket livecasting notoriety), Ken Eastwood and others planning to be in Orkney for #IslandGovCamp , and with a lively cricket scene in the county ( http://www.orkneycricket.org.uk/index.html ), the idea of what has been described as "an amateur knockabout" between Orkney and an #IslandGovCamp XI (or X, or IX, or VIII .. or however many can be mustered) has arisen.

With John Popham (of #twicket livecasting notoriety), Ken Eastwood and others planning to be in Orkney for #IslandGovCamp , and with a lively cricket scene in the county ( http://www.orkneycricket.org.uk/index.html ), the idea of what has been described as "an amateur knockabout" between Orkney and an #IslandGovCamp XI (or X, or IX, or VIII .. or however many can be mustered) has arisen.
TIming, format, feasibility and wisdom are among the features of the idea yet to be assessed. There is, however, a suitable pitch at the Pickaquoy Centre in Kirkwall, http://www.pickaquoy.net/sport/awp , (albeit a pitch with an artificial surface) which may be available for booking.
Input required:
1.Do you think this idea is worth pursuing?
2. What format should the match take, and how long (in hours) would it take to play?
3. When could we play the match? Probably not Friday, Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning! (e.g. are you available for selection for a match in Kirkwall on Thursday afternoon/evening, Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon?)
4. Do you bat, bowl, keep wicket, umpire, score or make teas?
5. What would the pitch hire and any other costs be, and how would we fund the fixture?
6. Could we live stream the match, if/when it happens?
7. Could this become a regular fixture? (e.g. every 2 years or so?)
