Newcastle Polo

deffo up for polo on saturday. im gonna be on the scavenge for parts pretty soon. Ive only got a frame and forks so far and I don't want to spend much. Hoping rcyb can come up with the goods....

thanks for the input on the gears. think i will go 'spinny as fook'. more time to enjoy the scenery on the way to the court will be an added bonus.

Cool, cheers Pete, I'll try and get down Sat

No can do for saturday. Work calls :-(

Awright troops, I'm coming down your way from Glasgow Mayday weekend and I'm hoping to get a game. I know it's a few months away, I'll put up a post nearer the time. I'll be staying at Whitley bay so not too far from your court.

Might see some of you in Manchester beforehand and I've met some of you before through in Edinburgh.

You guys going to be at gosforth on sat? been meaning to have a butchers at this polo malarky for ages,particurly now i'm on a bike again...

yep, saturday 3pm, gossy courts, see everyone there

I'll be there :)

Me too

I have o polo bike just for a change

For someone who hoards more bike parts than any of us Pete, you wanna sort that out! Is it worth me coming in today to look for a polo frame?

Yeah pop in dude

dont suppose you remembered derailleur did you pete?

Sorry guys fookin bike just dropped a chain and threw me clean off at the same time bending front wheel,i might get round to actually seeing what this bike polo is all about......aahhh...

First go at bike polo today. Got stuck in and had an absolute blast. Bike didn't break, mallet didn't break, I didn't get broken either, despite a few beginner-spills. Glad to help make up the numbers and now totally hooked. Cheers Matt, Phil, Pete, Ed. See you guys next time out.

got an email re: uk champs registration fee. its £25, needs to be payed by paypal asap.

think we need to sort out who is going and pay it. and team name

got a pretty massive animation project on until mid april. i'm probably not going to breath a lot of fresh air until its finished - never mind play polo. well gutted. ive got my new polo frame sitting in the corner mocking me too.

Phil, I'll pay the registration. Is it Glowbike? He pm'ed while I was on holiday about initial registration and I guess you sorted it from there... PM me his Paypal asap and I'll sort it. Team name? Happy to go back to Gosforth chainring Massacre. Unless anyone has a slightly more inspired idea before this evening.

Gav, that sucks balls.

But I guess it does mean that we're down to just me, Phil and Pete on the list, which makes things easy...

Cool, have forwarded you the e-mail with the paypal address on. I'll give you the money at polo, or just give you the straps for less.

We're all paid up. Not worked out the best thread to stick the team name in yet as the registration one is closed

Oh shit... http://ukchampionships2010.blogspot.com/2010/03/blog-post_10.html

We need a shitload of practice

Sweet, isn't Fen Boy 3 Harvey's team + another Cambridge one + Manchester who isn't Netto. Apples clearly won't be fun but could have been worse.

My only window this weekend is Saturday afternoon. 3 o clock everybody?

Yeah it could be worse, apples is going to be interesting

I was keeping sunday free as I thought we were getting a game going with otters coming up?

Can't do saturday

Shite, was that this weekend? I can do 3:30-4ish on Sun if that's better. Should still be light. Who else is about?

Yup

Sunday then? Make it 4. See y'all then
