Cambridge Polo

:) how do you attach them to the mallet head?

blood, sweat & tears

duct tape
hot glue
weld

i built a mallet today...golf club, rainwater pipe, soldiering iron and duct tape... managed to 'plastic weld' the pipe and club together, feels very strong! we'll see how she holds up on tomorrows outing.

Look here !

youtube the how to make a polo mallet from "legit"

or go legitbikepolo.com the guy has a few good videos on how to make polo stuff

I went past the milton skip today and found there were two bmx there.
one of them is actually like new....no scratches even the tyres are pumped up, they all have tiny 34? chainrings at the front, great for polo. That clean one even has sone nice chain tugs, and considering that they will probably let it go for a tenna the rest of the parts are worth atleast 70/80quid altogether.

glad you're alive eddie, we all thought you'd died in a horrible chainring bolt related accident!!

Don't listen to Bogey , his mallet broke in minutes.

I blame Will! It crumbled like the skin on the forehead of an 80 year old gentleman.

i think harvey was on about this earlier today http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7370993.stm

Polo was awesome today and it was really good to meet everyone. I'm working Thursday but will definitely be down next Sunday.

Harvey, did you say you have some spare pipe for some mallets?

I was gonna say i'll bring some down for thursday..... , but i'll bring some next sunday instead

Actually, if it's possible for you, I could pick some up from your stall one day this week as I'm in town working everyday.

I'm itching to make one up this week (and make a few bike alterations before next Sunday).

What are you after water pipe or ski poles ?

I was going to have a look around tomorrow for ski poles so hopefully just the pipe. If you've got some spare ski poles as well I would definitely be up for swapping them all for cash or beer.

I have about half a dozen already cut and faced bits of water pipe you are welcome to ,but i'm down to my last 2 ski poles !!!! Roddy of Bikeman fame said he had some in his yard on sunday http://www.thebikeman.co.uk/maybe try him
if not i may be persuaded to part with one.... but you can have the water pipe.

Polo trip to London sunday or saturday
This sunday .
Will can take us down in his chemical smelling van after polo on sunday. Room for possibly 8 (at a squeeeeeeeeeze) .
i have contacted the london lot and they reckon saturday is the best day to check out the polo at their north and south courts, faster more competitive etc . Sunday at brick lane seems to have waned due the court not being ideal and other factors . i can't do saturday though i dunno about everyone else . They kindly said though they could get a few people to meet up for a game /advise etc on a sunday but not a good representation of london polo as its all laid back hungover stylee . What do you lot think ?????

thats cool, sunday is best for me too

london's sunday polo doesnt look impressive though

I'll get searching for the ski poles then but the pipe sounds perfect.

Can I pick up from your stall or would you rather wait until Sunday?

Awesome.
