Thanks eddie, I've added them!

yeah nice pics gabe

here is the pair of wheels in their former glory:

the front wheel has been dibbed

is that a suicide hub on the rear wheel? if its a track hub, im dibsing that badboy

screw on freewheel dude.

aahhhhh. i thought it was too good to be true.
it has just dawned on me that i dont think we will be playing polo for a longggg time with the weather :(

it used to be fix/fix but now it's free/fuck all as i stripped both threads.

rim is worth keeping in a new wheel, spokes are all fairly good, free tyre and tube. i have no space for it so it's free to a good polo home. i will bring it along to sunday polo anyway...

Is polo on tomorrow? I can bring a shovel...

I want to I will go down early and do the court. I still have tht bag on grit I clamed.

I want to play, and I'm sleeping at a mates in Cambridge today so it will be easy to traverse the wilderness to arrive at the court. GRIT + SHOVEL + ELBOW GREASE

I have one of these but no grit...

well sation cycles is open tomorrow so i can collect my bag! a josh got some for outside currys, so if we meed more are can trip down there?

how early are you boys getting down there? i'll come down to help out.

important info regarding possible lights/court hire at Manor School:

I've just had a phone call from Manor School regarding floodlights. They have said if we get a quote and pay for security light style floodlighting (not sodium lighting like Bwell) of a tennis court, then they will let us have exclusive and free access to a court at times we can agree with them.

We need to skiddadle down to the court to see if it's any good for us before we do anything. Plus I will speak to a couple of contractors in the week who might be able to help in giving us an idea of cost. Anybody know anyone who can do this type of thing for us? Friend of an electrician? If it's alot, we'll need to think about fundraising, or even if it is worth our while in the first place.

We could use this as a negotiation for bringing the cost down at Bwell court if it falls flat so either way this could be good guys...

I can see some negatives though, for a start will security light floodlighting be enough? Will the cost be too much? dunno yet, but still it is interesting.
:)

Interesting ...... there's a lot of variables and things to be researched . I wonder if we could do it all on the cheap using 2nd hand stuff ?

i reckon they'd be totally up for it, they are just after getting some lighting installed for free so i'd guess they don't mind if the kit is second hand. i reckon the next step is sort a meeting out there at some point to meet this chap and to recce the court and see if it's doable.

i will be at the court around 11:45 if you weather is okay.

Should be down about 11.30ish

Sweet dude,

any more takers????

What's the court looking like ?

I have found a really cool street polo location? or some where to restart up trick night? it has a low wooden fence around and its like a flat hard courts but theres a building right next to it so it might not be so good for polo im not sure??

Thanks for a most exelent day of polo chaps, particularly pleased with our result against team cream!

Good effort clearing all the snow away today . Hopefully it'll stay clear til tuesday night. Need to talk to this James guy about the Manor school court , anyone want to come and check it out . Also this place Ozram's found too .

the only thing is that im not sure about it coz we could be kicked off it.

can anyone make a quick meeting with manor school on the arbury road at 630pm tomorrow eve to have a ganders at their facilities and discuss polo etc? the more the better!!!! plus polo straight afterwards!

What polo tomorrow?
