Beginners Polo

No it's not the cheese mallet I think you gave that to Miles.

You all look the same ;)

Just joking...obviously...as I manage to get your name correct!

Thanks for the games tonight everyone - lots of fun!

Early call - who's in for tomorrow (Tuesday) night...?

Yeeeaaah! Me and Hope are in, should be there shortly after 7pm

Newington Gardens Tues 15th:

1. Simon
   
2. Bobby
   
3. Hope
   

Me and Hope are in with just 3 if you are, even if it's just for an hour or so.

What say ye, Simon?

I'm in!

Hey, I'm pretty new to this whole polo thing but I've played a few times on my old shopper with unresponsive brakes with a little success.

I have now however, got a bike that I can actually use for polo (responsive brakes and I don't care if it gets dings and smashes) so I rode down to London Fields this morning to see if anyone was about but there were just some dudes playing bball.

Are things generally a no-go unless it's organised on here? If that's the case, then does anyone wanna play some polo?

P.S. I am sans mallet.

Yes, you should generally check the forum first. People start up a list of potential attendees and then they'll confirm beforehand if its on or not.

hey Samwell,

Beginners' sessions are usually on:

• Tuesday evening at Newington Gardens, Harper Road SE1
  
• Saturday mornings at London Fields
  For both sessions is best to check the thread here to see if it they're going ahead :-)
  

That sounds reasonable.

Who's up for tomorrow night then?

I'm in! Should be there by about 6:45pm or so.

Keen also, providing we have 6 bikes and 6 mallets available for all to use (my mallet and bike are nothing special, and don't have clipped pedals so are good for beginners). Hugo also expressed interest this evening. Could be on

It's on. Let's get a new breed of beginners up and playing.
Regardless of whether you've played before or not, fancy a relaxed and friendly knockabout with some beers or just getting your eye back in for the summer, head down tomo (Tuesday).

I should be there with spare mallet from 7. So dust off your old steed and come play.

That sounds reasonable.

Who's up for tomorrow night then?

Yes man. Got a spare mallet too.

Got a shitty ball but if someone can bring one not torn to shit that'd be good.

I can pop by if needed.

Hi Guys,

i'm up for it too. Just getting back on the bike after a few months off!

Hugo, i've got your spare mallet that i can give back to you (the blue one with holes in it). then we've got another spare.
cheers for lending it to me buddy.

Will be there 7:30pm

I'm in:

1. Hope
   
2. Bobby
   
3. Simon
   

Sounds like we're on.
I popped my last ball last night so will pick some more up this arvo.
Should be in around 7/7.30.

Do we still have the netballers to contend with?

Bobby has a ball we can use (:

We've been the last couple of times and haven't come across any netballers, what happens when they're playing netball?

I can be there from 6 now

I'm in:

1. Hope
   
2. Bobby
   
3. Simon
   
4. Hugo
   
   

Net ballers go away after a while if they are there.

May get there at 6 for a solo polo hit around until people get there

Awesome - if someone has a spare mallet that would be great, I currently possess the cheese mallet, if anyone has come across this they'll understand...

1. Hope
   
2. Bobby
   
3. Simon
   
4. Hugo
   
5. Jackie
   
   

I have 3 spare mallets but won't be around next week if someone else wants to take them.

Netball season is winter. We had an agreement with the netballers that we could use the court from 7pm so it was just a case of waiting until 7pm.
