NE London Bike Polo: Wednesdays: Mitchison Road N1 / Weekends:Hackney Downs E5

I'm up/down for some polo tomorrow.

Is it an Archies one?
Why the fuck didn't I think of that?
Nah, my mate gave me one that he bought and used once as his wrists were too skinny. It's made by six six one. I like it purely for the fact it doesn't have a thumb loop to get in the way of the bars/mallet like most o0f them seem too.

It's actually pretty nice to wear once you've worked out the requisite tightness. There have been a few occasions where I've made my hand go blue though.

Does anyone fancy a game before East drinks tonight?

might get down to NE for an hour or so tomorrow. no can do tonight. no.

who is on for tonight?

tom, do you reckon you could bring that ski pole if you are coming down?

yo, i'm down.

tomasito you want me to bring bar tape?

My bruises from the run up to the comp are almost completely gone, so it's time to recolour my legs and arms.

I'll be there at 7pm.

me too

tomasito you want me to bring bar tape?

Can't make tonight :(

Possibly Sunday, otherwise we're both in South Kensington during the day so I could roll over one lunch time, or after work...

cool

im still out!!!!!!! more birthday stuff!

i'm not playing, might pop down for an hour to hang out though

People who want bamboo should go source some from elsewhere, because when I went to go cut it up with my hacksaw, I found that my flatmate had thrown it out.

I'm coming down tonight for my first NE polo, with my fellow lezza.

See you at 7 ish...

the old skool Brockley crew aka 2/3 of B.A.D polo are being lazy tonight...

Not enough folk to play at 7pm tonight, so the football boys took over the court by the time we all arrived. We managed a few half-decent games at the basketball court in the estate across the road, but i think we need to be at the Upton/Downham Rd. early to claim the court in future.

p.s. Ali, good to meet you tonight. And Jo.

Tomasito, Leni was waiting for you for a while, just let you know.

Mike, Tom has your ball.

Breaking news - I've found an awesome winter court.

Half way along Central Street, on the West side (i.e. left if coming from Old Street, or right if coming from City Road). It's meant to close at 8pm/10pm depending on the time of year, but a fence panel is missing so constant access.

Good surface, flood lit. FTW.

Also, it is true. I do have Mike's ball.

is this the finsbury leisure centre? those courts are in constant use on most evenings for five-a-side.

No, about 200m further up the road and on the otherside.

Also, I'd assume that we'd play across the court, which would mean that we'd only be using half of it (there are Bricklane style goal posts if we do this). If we played up the court, we could probably do 5 a side (there are full size football goals in this case).

This will all make sense once people have checked it out.

I think you're meaning this one?

That is the exact one.

I want to play in an indoor heated lit warehouse in the winter.
