Have we ever used the lhbpa cash to buy a beer tab before? Seems a bit of a crap use of cash, we are all adults and can all pay for our own beer. How much did you have in mind?

Personally I don't have any problem with cash being used for pizzas or something, but you don't get much beer for your money

Yes we used LHBPA cash for the bar tab at Canopy after people came along to dismantle the court at HH. There were probably about a dozen of us there and we drank about £200 worth of beer iirc. I was thinking somewhere along the same amount for this time around. I think it's important to fund social events - after all if we were having a tournament then we'd have to book a room somewhere afterwards for the topless dancing, which would cost money. There's no tournament this time obviously, but we can still have the social in its absence. I think a court is a long way off now, even if HH get it going (their mind is on other things with the new pavilion there), so I think the money that's been raised from corporate events could go to funding a social, even if it just translates into a beer or two for each person. I'm not of a mind to get into a big back and forth about it though if people disagree strongly.

I think it's one thing to buy beers or pizzas after a court dismantle or a tournament where volunteers have put in a great deal of work, but if we're just hanging out as friends enjoying each other's company it feels like an unnecessary use of LHPBA funds to me - regardless of how those funds were raised. That money is for hosting tournaments, putting towards a permanent court, actual bike polo stuff in my opinion. I would love the opportunity to personally buy you a beer to say thanks for all your efforts with HH this year tho Kev. K3 K3 K3

^ Pretty much that.

I'm not gonna make it down, there is a combined Manc bike shops Xmas do on the Friday, I'm pretty sure I'll be in bed all weekend.

Finish work at 6 just down the road so will join you after

Agree with Fufu.

Also there is a secret CX race with plenty of drinking starting at 7pm on Saturday. Anyone want to join me apres polo et apres cheeky pub pint?

Seriously, who wants to join me, I think it will be a blast

"Heckling and beer encouraged"!

So even if you don't want to race you could just come and get wasted! xx

I might've come along, word on the street is that it's going to be NE.

So what's the plan? And times?

10am start?

10am start for the hardcore if you like, 4pm trip to Canopy when it gets dark.

I can't make it now regrettably due to time constraints and child minding, so have fun.

In for 10. Sorry that you can't make it Kev.

Can we get 6 for an early start. I just looked at trains and could be there for 10.30 actually.

Ill be there for 10 / 10:30

cheers Emmet. Tough at the moment with an infant. Hopefully as he gets a bit older I'll be able to play a bit more.

I'm in for 10:30ish

I'm in for the hardcore start bout 10.30

I'm out, sorry
