South London Bike Polo (Tues/Thurs/Sun) - Newington gardens SE1 / Agnes Riley gardens SW12

so is this happening tomorrow - i would be happy to get down there just not sure if things like mallets are sorted.

Those photos are all the brixton rec car park aren't they?

I just remembered another place, basketball court off pulross road, near ferndale road. Think it's floodlit every night and prob easy to use. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl Usually kinda busy, though not sure about in winter.

its quite a cool court, my grandad used to live at 53 pulross road and i remember when they gave the court a facelift.

hamster is that fyfield rd? If it is its perfect, might hav eto fight a few estate kids for the court though, its also just round the corner from the carpark. Its quite well lit around there anyway because its right on an estate. Is it just too dark for night time though?

The car park was brixton. We need a mallet count... I'm gonna try to make 3 tonight, anyone else?...

just found this next to the long pond off clapham common as well, looks like its fenced and got lights - not sure of the access tho...

polo court?

Ratboy how long do mallets need to be i think i can get four for tomorrow?

about four feet i guess. It a preference thing.

yep, I'm in too. not got any constructive comments about location though, sorry! croquet mallets might be a bit heavy?
Clefty, Peckham or Brixton from yours are both half the distance from you to Brick Lane, get your bike and your beer goggles and come!

moi?! feeling fine, why d'ya ask!?! Clefty I don't understand the miles math there but I'll trust you. Dunno if I can make TC, will let you know. If you could save me a pole that would be marvellous, ta!

that was for Stelle as I'm already saving you one, and one for Sol as she wont be round 2nite either. Am up for Saturday , depends how drunk I get..i.e. the drunker I get the more likely i will race you. I wanna see you race your sister in stilettos..

Stell how tall are you? i know you're a short arse but dont know exactly ;-) just for mallet sizing.

also in the original bike polo thread there was reference to courts previously used for polo at mint st near borough tube?

Yeah - that's where we played a couple of years ago. The court is this one
here but it's not lit.

There's also this old football cage with goals on my old estate, not Brixton more central/west... Haven't been there in years but i know it's still there, probably smaller than I remember it, no lights tho'... I'm off for the next coupla days so I'll have a reccy tomorra'...
Brixton polo sounds like fun, Brick Lane's a bit of a schlepp for me and the gf...

are we doing this tomorrow?????

yep, well that's what skoota plans. you?

just met with Mr Skoota for some pole transactions (oooer) if you're going to Brixton I might be up for it, depends if my existing plans happen or not - I'm such a xmas social butterfly at the moment! ;-)
