The Bike Mechanic tent of awesome!
I had a great time being involved in this and for me one of the best moments was sitting down with everyone on the court build day to a cup of tea and realising how cool it is that we can do this kind of stuff together!
Another top moment was going to Fuchsia's to collect the food and meeting a band of merry washer-uppers who had gone there after the court build to help lighten her load a bit. I love the way this community can really take care of each other. It's why i love bike polo.
Well done to everyone who played their hearts out all weekend!
Well done Sophie for MVP. She pretty much bossed the shit out of the tournament on and off court, a constant force for positivity and action! My hero.
Thanks Hayden hayden hayden hayden woooood, man of the match, for consistently helping to do anything ever all the time before even asked and even after beering himself.
Massive love to Fuchsia for stepping up to become "Tastiest Player" and finding the gourmet vegan chef within. Polo needs people like you to approach these tournaments with commitment, enthusiasm and the epic can-do attitude you brought to it!
Cheers again for consistently stepping up year on year to help the Open work and show the rest of the world that as the biggest polo community, we really are a proper team in London, everyone bringing their skills to the table and sometimes finding out they had some they didn't know about! : Matt Cox, Ed Moog, Paul, Ana, Io, Rik, Jack, Young Paul, Suzy (who promises to play soon), Maddie, Trigger, Woody, Boags.
Thanks to Mya, the most "stylish" player for her work on the great Volunteer and Ref shirts as well as everything else!
Thank you for your great hustle all weekend and especially for the court build and take down!: Emmet, Danielle, Seb, Jimmy, Salman, Kristina.
The "1st Australian On Site Award" went to Jordan, who turned up at 8.30am and said where's the beer. Love it.
Thanks to the "Hottest Players" who manned the BBQ and beer for hours to feed you all: Troika, Shane, Matthias, Stee, Dave.
Everyone agreed that "clerks" mums made the best outfits although there was no pride but that that fashion gives you.
So one more down! Well done London!
