look about right? Anywhere in particular people've found to get pipe from or d'you get it online? Cheers, H

I always get Adam to make mine :P

you can't go wrong with that for a first mallet hannah, then you'll get personal prefferences as you make more.

the pipe is found at road works, or if you play with caps you have to buy it. not sure where.

i'm sure someone will have some spare, i do but it's in london.

in fact i have some yellow i'll bring up for you manc people as i'm done with that shit.

i think i have some yello pipe you can have.. i'll check in my cellar later x

it's cut to the right size too i think

in fact i might have a spare whole mallet in my office...i can get it later prolly.

do you want the spare mallet hannah? i couldn't find the piping but i know it's about somewhere..i might've left it in the boatshed..i'll have a look there...

just to let you know there is a special guest polo playr gonna be there on thursday...ME!!! well, yes i shall be coming for the first time in forever (my shoulder is feeling better and i have this week off so even if it fucks up i don't have to ride fucking miles with it killling me the next day- so perfect time to try it out i guess) but really I meant Corey from Oxford just emailed to say he shall be coming too. Hannah, I'll bring that mallet if you bring some bar tape that would be good.

oh and if people want to use the boatshed to make any more mallets, wheelcovers etc i'm sure you can...there are drills and tools and shit there and it's big and tidy now so lots of people can be there at once..would be good to have a chat (sober) to people about funding too.

cool sounds good nes, see you on thursday it will probs be whitworth unless its raining tho

aces. i meant mallet making whenever people are up for it not necessarily on thursday...oh, and i emailed the council today about the court. i'll let you know what they say. hopefully they will agree. if they don't then there's no point applying for funding, but i did outline all the positives for the local communidee and for the park and for averyone..and using the park in a positive, empowering way blah blah blah...

There's a snow sports store in manc having a closing down sale online. Don't know if they have a shop on the ground as well or what. Anyway, if anyone's interested, pm me and I'll send you the details.

We have a new court!

that looks awesome, where is it? and what floor?

sweet!, no trouble off security or anything? that is gonna make a real difference when it starts getting dark

it was awesome, floor below top floor of time trial car park. surface perfect, ceiling not too low, lighting perfect, security non-existant, view amazing.

Movies...? Andy...?

Will upload them later. Oh, and I can get on the forum in my new job...so i'll give myself a few months before i get sacked! ha

My cameraphone seriously sucks... i'll bring something better next time....
