Hi everyone!
After this exciting week I think it is time to talk about the future in the UK. :) It was so inspiring what they put up there. Let's see what we can do in 2016!
As most of you know last year we started a tournament series to improve the level of bike polo and give plenty of tournament experience for players who haven't had much before. Unfortunately it happened at the same time when London went really quiet as well. I know that we had loads of support and some negative comments on it, but I believe it was a successful year. Not to mention that apart from the opening event everyone was welcomed from London as well. Thanks for the support though, in the beginning many London players reinforced me that it was a great idea.
It was great to see that we had tournaments every month, sometimes even two or three in a month. The level raised month by month. Although the main aim changed throughout the year (not just city bench, London played etc.) and I was happy to see that loads of old and new players get involved in organizing and participating.
Thanks to Canterbury / Birmingham / Sheffield / Glasgow / Manchester / Bristol for the organization.
So let's see what to keep for the future:
As Matt started a conversation about the UKHBPC, I think it is a great start for a new year as well. I'm happy to keep up to date information about the tournaments and talk to the city reps about who can do what and when (like this: https://goo.gl/mfb6tL ). As soon as he is back from Timaru I'll talk to him about this.
I'd like to thank all your support and participation last year. The series provided plenty of opportunities to compete against each other and have a lovely time as well. Thank you!
What about now? Keep going! As probably you heard the amazing Bristol courts are going to be taken away from us, so we are planning to organize a
TAP OUT Tourney on the 20th of March (Sunday) at St. Pauls.
Information coming soon, get your teams ready!
Any constructive idea welcome, please join this group on Facebook for information about the tournaments, although we will try to use this platform as well.

Have a nice Sunday!
