Well, after I finished mine I will contact some of them if they will be interested in playing polo.

Actually I just saw that some guys from fuccit already play polo! GREAT!

Surely west polo is still a little too far from Cornwall when riding a polo gear?

be alright:) what time do you start?

7ish

be alright:) what time do you start?

thats the spirit.

Any Easties going to make it along? Come on you know you want to.

Alright il be there quarter to?
what beers do you like?

I wanna start playing but i need to get my bike sorted out first...

JackJ, if you're in London, pop along to one of the throw-in games and i'm sure someone will lend you a bike and a mallet if you ask nice.

Hiya, I'm a freelance journo and I'm pitching an article about bike polo, would anyone have any objections if I came along for a game at some point and then wrote about it? I don't have a fixed-gear bike though, will that be a problem? Thanks

no problem at all, just come down any day, say hello and you are on.
people is helpfull and friendly
you will have fun

Thanks rik :) Been reading up about it and it sounds great, if I come it'll probably be a weds in Vauxhall, should i find a fixed-gear from somewhere or can i just play with my normal one?

you can play with your normal bike, no problem
also if you wnat to try fix, I'm sure you can borrow a bike for a couple of games
wednesday is not yet Vauxhall, now a day we are playing very close to Borought High St
