i'll be leaving over a metre of nice stuff down at oyb this morning, and if you want more i can get some off my old man, or you can pick it up from his yard in acock's green.

my fg gitane has carbon forks so i won't play on that in case it breaks (it already has a horrible case of the creaks that needs sorting) but i'm up for having a go on my rather more robust SS mtb. Maybe tomorrow if I can finish work early but if not definatly next week. Still 6.30 Calthorpe Park?

I quite fancy having a bash, can't do tomorrow but hopefully the following week. My 8 speed has come out of retirement for a cycle instructor course so I'll prolly take that.
-
tomorrow? i made my new mallet head and am itching to give it a go. although i may need to borrow a bike when i get there (mine is getting sprayed, but i'll probably be able to get one beforehand)
-
ive badly damaged my thumb ligament in a freak accident that shouldn't actually physically be possible :( i give up on polo

Trade it in for one like this

youre the third person so far who's tried to convince me to get some sort of metal limb. WTF?
-
excellent turnout tonight, well done all. 7 people 'playing' polo in birmingham. who'd've thunk it?
-
"playing" was definately what I did. By the time I left I felt reasonably confident that I could not crash into people if I wanted to. Now, hitting the ball on the other hand ... I'll be back after Italy, good game everyone.
-
ben, i'd happily vote you mltfdunpw - most likely to foot down under no pressure whatsoever. although half of my igor-love was probably due to the fact he would foot-down at will and not tap out. sneak.
-
At least your signature move wasn't crashing into a player on your own side.
-
tomorrow night, it's on.
weather looks fine: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/wm/birmingham_forecast_weather.html

another excellent turnout tonight - 8 people all playing at once on the b-ball courts despite numerous cricket/small child/rude-boy-yoot distractions. plus we must be getting better because two peoples' wheels are fucked and both of my wrists hurt. next week is 7.30 kick off, and i for one reckon it would be cool if someone took a few photos in order to inspire those unfortunate enough to live outside of the moseley/selly park/kings heath axis of beauty

i should have really, ive been meaning to since day 1. nothing stopping me tonight apart from the fact that i forgot. again. duh.
-
^thb I don't think that'd really work, playing on the same court widthways. If anything, once we get enough people who play regularly it'd be better to have polo on different nights and in different places. I'd definitely play more than weekly even if I do have to come all the way from north.
