Tourney: European Hard-court Bike Polo Championship - 01/02.08.2009

So is there going to be pickup polo Friday afternoon before going to Tour de Ville? I'm on a team, but my my original reason for coming to London this weekend was for pick-up and spectating. Downham?

La french cavalry will arrive on thursday as well, around 7pm. As for Agata, our third team mate, she will already be in London I reckon.

This cavalry may have arrived but it isn't with me (and I'm housing 2 of them apparently)
After a fruitless wait at St. Panc I'm at home...if anyone sees any lost French chaps around St Panc don't give them heroin have them call me on zero ... 3 if they want to sleep anywhere other than the main concourse.

Help! 1" Bmx quill stem needed.... Having a pre euros knockabout one of my team mates cracked his stem so we need a 2 piece clamp Bmx quill stem , does anyone have one? He'll arrive in london at 8.30 tomorrow, i think i can probably get one in manchester to bring down for him a bit later in the day but just looking for a backup.... Anybody?

Good luck to those playing :D

See you lot there! x

Kev, i'm sure there'll be throw-ins at Downham this afternoon. The last couple of nights at Newington (the South courts) have seen plenty action.

IF you are coming to help set up courts today: WE NEED STEP LADDERS! Does someone down South have some they can bring???

We also need some basic tools; socket set, wrenches, electric screwdrivers. If you have them, please bring them on site today from 12.

It's all good, they ended up staying at mine with the other Parisians.

Arvy, the guys will call you shortly, thanks for the number

Just remember to tell them not to piss behind ze wall, as the locals (with dogs) may have a hissy. There's the park across and a selection of near-by pubs.

Hey french teams, I want to see you all on sunday in the double elemination round!!!
Have fun there this weekend and dont take too much of jude's jhb stuff, because this weekend is probably something you really want to remember. (Damn I hate that i cant go this w'end).

nice video half way down the page

the rules are a little off, but hey. its nice.

Obligatory BBC spelling fail

"All bikes must have at least one break"

Nice video - and lovely dulcet tones from James though.

hey claire, got khornight's details but have told him to forward details to roxy, let me know you do need it x

Can you send me the compiled list of contact details, will be very useful for the day - just in case we have no shows for various slots

Nice video - and lovely dulcet tones from James though.

Yes. He has a jolly nice spekin voce, dusn't he?

Yes it made me want to curl up on the sofa with a cup of tea and eat scones.
James this could be just the beginning for you - Countryfile, Shipping forecast, Radio 3, One man and his dog. The world is your aural oyster!

Radio 3? Don't you want anyone to hear him?Could Dancing James be the new Brian Perkins?

I wake up to Radio 3 in the morning, Rob Cowan just doesn't do it for me. James would be perfect sat in between Handel's water music and a bit of Wagner.

You're right though, I think he could be the next Brian Perkins!

He does have the face for Radio.

Brian Perkins: "Even Liz has to answer to King Perkins the first. Defender of the faith, monarch of the Glen and crusher of the nadgers of anyone who's got a problem with it... And if I don't like you, you get an OBE. The Order of Brian's Elbow, in the face... Now get down Tony Blair, and give me Government."
