Channel 5 Polo Session

Right, for those who were not at polo tonight, I got an e-mail from a media company currently filming a show for Channel 5, and basically they want to get a game of polo going in Newcastle with one of the presenters.

They need to film on the 19th September so we need as many people as possible to come down, probably to the normal court and play a few games.

We were thinking of combining this with a beginners game and maybe inviting a few other teams from the north.

So, who is interested?

The e-mail:

Hi,

I am currently working on a series called Rory & Paddy’s Great British Adventure for Channel 5. We are in the middle of filming at the moment and as part of our series we had arranged for one of our presenters (Rory McGrath) who is a really keen cyclist to get involved in a bike Polo match near Glasgow.

Unfortunately there have been some pretty major shifts in our timetable and I am now trying to find somewhere in the North of England that Rory could play some bike polo next week! I was trawling the internet for some inspiration and came across your website.

I know this is all very short notice but I wondered if you would be able to help me find some people who play the game and might be interested in filming something where Rory learns about the game and has a go.

Preferably we would film next Saturday (19th September.)

If you are able to help it would be great to hear from you as soon as possible and we can discuss further.

Thank you for all your help.

Regards,
Martyn
