Birmingham Bike Polo (Wednesday nights / Sundays - info in the thread)

I'm really sorry Guys,
I have a load of stuff to get out at works before a long weekend in Manc. Late night at the office for me.

Anyone know off the top of their head when the manchester guys play? Might try and muscle in on a few of their games?

youre welcome! play is best on sunday at 2. theres some tuesday and thursday action too

POLO TONIGHT 7pm HIGHGATE

Wish I'd seen this earlier, I would have come down.

Also, some ski poles arrived on my doorstep the other day - what are you guys using for mallet heads and where can i get me some?

i have some black pipe you can use (drop into on your bike saturday if you want). if you find some yellow stuff, give some to me!

That'd be great dan, I'll be in on saturday. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the yellow stuff...

no worries - the black stuff is very light but wears out a bit quickly. i'll be there from 10-4.30.

Anyone want to polo tonight?

^Bit late

^Bit late

It was only about 2pm when I posted, I have no idea if you lot play on sundays anymore!

The rain wouldve made it impossible anyway.

we rarely play on sundays, although fin was on about a once-monthly meeting.

either way, the forum alone doesn't really work for organising same-day games. it's very wishful thinking to get 5 responses in a few hours. i've nearly had success a few times from texting people, but inevitably if it isn't planned a long time in advance or on a wednesday, polo doesn't happen.

Dedicated polo site is bloody needed man

B'ham needs a women's polo team, I'm pretty sure interest and attendance would skyrocket if/when that happens....

I like the look of her... mallet end.

^Worst innuendo ever

just noticed the pic I posted is also on Mothergirl's blog, didn't steal it from her, promise, stole it from charikichi/Girl's On Bicycles instead...
but stolen all the same.

weather is looking nice for polo - i'll be there at 6 if anyone wants early games/warm-ups.

hoping two more newbies for tonight: pete aka void, and another mtb mate....

Sun is out! I need polo!!!

I'm down for polo ALSO, if anybody has any requests for what they want to hear on the boombox, let me know (no RnB/indie).

coldplay? stereophonics? toploader? good shit like that!

Colours out there tonight were perfect for photos, haven't fucked with these shots at all, this is just killer sunlight.
Still not sure if I'm down for playing 'bike golf' though, one of the local kids explained the rules and it was all a bit surreal.

nice photos pete - just give the bike-golf/-snooker a go and you'll be hooked. all you need is one more bike...

roll on the 2011 bikes...

yo was fun tonight for the VERY brief time i was there. wasnt a planned visit hence the lack of polo bike and playing like a slug.

Great games!
