Weekly Newbie Polo?

We will deffinetly not be able to have both courts every wednesday, in fact it's not often we do. Making wednesday's at newington a beginners night will make a lot of beginners turn up every wednesday expecting to play (just like last night) and with only one court on the go it will hijack the normal games.

Just have a beginners night on an other night or somewhere else. It won't encourage segregation because beginners are welcome and encouraged to play the normal polo nights anyway. And at least they will be guaranteed beginner games, rather than turning up at souths and getting thrown in on a fast/aggressive game.

At the moment Wednesday evenings are the only nights being played south of the river and the only time polo is played at newington. I don't want the dynamic that is there at the moment to change.

Well, as I said, we'll try it. There is another beginner session next week anyway, so if there is only one court we won't do it again. Either way it looks like you will be having two South sessions a week soon.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't think having an entirely seperate session, possibly at the same time as a normal session at another location, is the way to go for a number of reasons, one being people at an intermediate level need to choose between one or the other, which will reduce attendance, and if we say have only 5 newbies turn up, if it's at the same location then a pro may be happy to join in.

A comprise might be having it at Mitcheson while a session is on at Downham, at least it wouldn't be so far between the two, if not enough turn up we can go to Downham, or get someone to join us, and people can go from one to the other.
