Tourney: London Open - 21.08.2010

Is there going to be a specific tourney T-shirt?

Not to detract from yours Robb, there's surely a market for both.
One can never have too many polo tees.
Will purchase this if not, if it supports the tourney.

There will be a merchandise for the tourney itself, yep.

I, for one, didn't think the hitting the-ball format really worked...

Please head on over to the LPC thread to discuss the tourney in more detail or to help out with fundraising (many hands and all that):

How do you gain access to that part of the forum?

Or will details, about registration etc, be put up on this thread?

I've joined the LHBPA (gave Rik a fiver) but still dont have access to that forum, if someone could change my permissions I'd muchly appreciate it... thanks.

Hey guys, PM gabes or request to be a member and he'll sort you out, details of the LPC forum here:

http://www.lfgss.com/thread36368.html

PM me once you've done that, and i'll let you in. If you're not a member of the LHBPA, don't request membership to the LHBPA forum.

The link goes to the LBC thread, not the LHBPA. So really, if they're London players ...

LPC is for london players, I was just saying, don't apply to the other one (LHBPA) unless you're a member.

Thanks for clearing that up guys.

No need to join, I will wait for details to be posted up here.

All the best to those organising!

You should join the LHBPA. It's only a fiver per year and it supports polo projects. PM me if you would like to join.

Registration for the London Open will commence on Sunday 30th May at 10am. Registration forms will be available on the LHBPA site at www.lhbpa.org/londonopen.

Registration is now open. L'Equipe were the first team to register!

Sweet. I can't wait to fuck those guys up.

How are the groups chosen? Just by random, or will there be seeding?

If it's random, i'm out.

Seeding, which means you're in Mr Fapples... please fill in the tourney experience (when registering) as it'll help somewhat.

we will do Jono

Why would you be out if it was random gabes?

because apples have seeds kevin.

hahahahahahahahaha
