Tourney: Paris BFF Polo Tournament 30.10 - 01.11.08

.Fucking weather. Now that is over with.
This year and meeting this bunch of people has easily been the best in my 14 years in London. The people involved in not just polo, (that being my particular passion) but the rollers, the socials, all aspects of what has come out of the BFF, Londonfgss and affiliates, makes me smile for miles. There is camaraderie, a concern and a chivalry that I haven’t experienced in such numbers before. My friends outside of this community are people that over the years have been chosen for the best parts of all of you. There is such a great humanity involved here and it brightens my thoughts constantly. People watch out for each other, borrow, lend, back up, support, shout and cheer all in equal measure, how else would we meet our wonderful Gallic friends if they hadn’t been attracted by this great community and invited us into theirs. I would like to point out two particular instants from this weekend and they are not in any way unusual but indicative of all of you: 1. The impeccable gentleman that is Hassan, not even thinking twice and fixing my puncture while I was ‘leisurely’ on the loo and 2. All the concern shown to myself and Andy when we hit our heads on the floor very hard. Many thanks, we missed you Aido and I thank you Dale.
