Polo is now played at the Gosforth park basketball courts on Sundays at 2pm and Thursdays at 7pm in Gateshead. Directions somewhere in this thread. Everyone welcome. Loads of mallets to lend etc.
Ok, now we have our own forum, it's time to make the most of it by starting a dedicated polo thread - because we can.
So here's the craic:
We are going to be starting polo again at 6:30 on Tuesday 17th at the Gosforth courts where we played last season.
We played on and off last year with a few 'proper' games. The standard is not high. Yet. But by the end of the summer I fully anticipate us travelling to play at least one tournament away from the Toon.
I think we need to get together and have some kind of mallet building session. At the moment, i believe we have five + one ball, although obviously a few people have mentioned getting them built up. We've been using either ski poles or broom handles with PE gas pipe. I'm not sure how much of this there is left but it can be found...
But in the meantime, it's not difficult to pick up at all so don't be scared - come and join in.
