The Loop: A Spring Renaissance A thousand apologies... 2 Sep 2009 |  More MEDIA RELEASE: BEIGE BRIGADE SPONSORS BUNNY HUNTERS The Beige Brigade (http://www.beigebrigade.co.nz/) is delighted to announce that it is sponsoring a team in The Great Alexandra Easter Bunny Hunt to be held in Central Otago this weekend, starting at 8am on Good Friday. 8 Apr 2009 |  More NZ Inspired: Beige Brigade magazine profile "It's official, beige is the new black. Michael Wright chats with the supporters group helping New Zealand sports fans continue their love affair with the way things used to be." 8 Apr 2009 |  More THE LOOP: Mish-mash in March Well New Zealand is effectively playing a home series in front of an 'away' crowd - India have taken over the boardroom of world cricket and now they're taking over the cricket stands and embankments over here as well. Not sure about the former being good, but the latter is certainly bearable. 20 Mar 2009 |  More The Elstow Ashes "I live in England now, near Bedford, and I am a member of Elstow Cricket Club www.elstowcc.co.uk and we need your help. We were shafted by Warwickshire CCC for our customary tickets to Edgbaston for the Friday of this year's Ashes Test, and so we have decided to host our own Ashes test over the weekend of the 25th and 26th of July 2009." 13 Mar 2009 |  More The LOOP: Right-arm over the wicket in December 2008 Good evening this morning! Magnificent that summer has arrived - Test cricket is being played in balmy 13 degree conditions in Dunedin while the rest of New Zealand basks in 20+ and endless summer ales with Bryan Waddle and Tony Cozier chipping away on the wireless. What could be better, apart from (a couple of elusive Test centuries)? 14 Dec 2008 |  More THE LOOP: Cricket ignominy, rugby in the UK, penguins in Balclutha, and the Shearing Championships This month we present to you a veritable barrage of Beige Brigade news - from a new and slightly off-centre offering in the Beige Brigade Shop through to information about a bunch of our tours, some great pics, and a fleece-by-fleece account of some beige boys' in Norway at the Golden Shears. Anything to take your attention off the fact that we lost to Bangla-bloody-desh at cricket this week! 12 Oct 2008 |  More THE LOOP: September has Sprung The Champions Trophy is dead as The Don as of last month, but despite the paucity of cricket, there's plenty of shenanigans to report from Beige HQ - especially at the English end of things... 9 Sep 2008 |  More THE LOOP: Amongst the August Beige We know - we are an absolute disgrace and have not been in touch in April, May, June or even July. Sorry about that. We have been doing stuff though, just been appalling at telling you about it... 2 Aug 2008 |  More THE LOOP: A March Quickie We haven't been in touch for a while - but we haven't been sitting around knitting vests or fisting windows. We've been podcasting our moustachioed faces off, blogging from cow corner on Stuff and hatching plans for missions to see us collapse in the second innings against the Poms... 8 Mar 2008 |  More The Loop: The Basin, Phil Tufnell, The BYC and Gallipoli Greetings from Beige HQ. New Zealand's first Test match at home since December 2006 has just got underway at the steaming heap of sideways movement and uneven bounce that is the University Oval pitch. 4 Jan 2008 |  More THE LOOP: The Return of Real Cricket and other Miscellany Greetings from NZ's largest suburb, Karori, on the high velt. The sun is out, and the thwack of leather on willow can now be heard about the paddocks and artifical wickets of Aotearoa. Cricket season is here, and so too are we. And yes we are aware that it has been a long time between drinks on The Loop front - but we have been busy... 25 Oct 2007 |  More Beige Brigade News: Not an ad for Laver & Wood The eleven things you need to know this August... 3 Aug 2007 |  More THE LOOP - Beige Brigade Epistle, June 2007 Nice to be back - has been a wee while between drinks so apologies for that. 10 Jun 2007 |  More NZ Spelling Bee: New Zealand Speller off to Washington DC New Zealand National Spelling Bee 2007 Champion Speller Kate Weir, a 13 year-old from Linwood High School in Christchurch, is deep in preparation for the 80 th Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington DC next week (30/31 May). 24 May 2007 |  More 2007 Beige Brigade Cricket Awards: The Winners As decided live on Episode 31 of The BYC this week, direct to the ears of Kiwi cricket fans around the world from the top of Cuba Street in Wellington. 14 May 2007 |  More
