Polo today was awesome. Lovely weather and some good games.
Unfortunately we were approached by a woman who works in (runs?) the community centre. Apparently she has received complaints from a few mums across the street that we have been turning away kids that want to use it and telling them that we have hired it for the day. We pointed out that we have never said that we have hired it. She said that if kids come down to use it we should let them. She doesn't mind us using it at all but the parents of the kids have been annoyed that we have used it all day and turned their kids away.
I don't really know what the best thing to do would be. She said we could hire it but that would be £10 p/hour (which between ten or so of us is not much but still, who wants to pay for a court that should be free). I think the best thing would be to see what happens tomorrow. I guess no-one wants to piss people off but at the same time being turfed off the court for a few kids to piss about on kind of sucks. Eddie has gone on another huge ride around checking out some other courts so we'll see what comes of that.
Balls, basically.
Early start tomorrow? 10 ish?
