Beginners Polo

louis comes from uxbridge if i remember correctly
although he may come from work
im coming from hounslow and possibly have a mate coming from k-town too
wanna come along with us/me

Sounds good, will OK it with the boss and get ready to be schooled.

I tried playing polo a few tears ago, and my elbow wasn't strong enough.
I think it's still probably the case, but since it's on my way home it would be rude not to try it...

Great typo.

It'll probably be a while before I can play polo owing to elbow issues, too. Are your old injuries still bothering you?

Mallet building thread? Yep lock sorted. Please you're coming again big L. Charco promised (again) to make an appearance, be nice to have Elguapo again, plus the new regulars! Looking forward to it already.

threads. merge to one thread perhaps?

yep, even though I broke the elbow about 4 years ago, it's still pretty sore.

:(

I do live a bit near Kingston, Worcester park, but I will be coming from work (central). You might be thinking of ed who lives in uxbridge?

Awesome Nhatt!
Let me know (nearer the time) if you want a spare mallet.
I'll building you a super lightweight, elbow friendly mallet mate.
Bring it on!

Incidentally there are gasworks on my road, do you need any yellow pipe?

I don't thank you.

Incidentally part II. We should have a loaner polo bike up and running soon from parts kindly donated from forumongers. I'm nearly there, just need a caliper and to build it.

This is technically owned by London Polo so it's not guaranteed to be available all the time, but unless it's needed for something else, I can bring it down with me each week.

Does anyone have a spare caliper brake per chance?

Rear brake? Yes, short reach, the newer type where the nut sits into the frame. Any use?

i have a rear road brake caliper.... im not as technical as kev.... it is what it is

If Kev's doesn't fit then I'll try yours.
Ta mate!

Hey. So, my brother and I have been playing one on one games on a football pitch for a few weeks (it works because we're rubbish), but fancy playing a few proper games. That's not going to happen in Chelmsford, but neither of us are super familiar with London. Anyone know which of the throw-in spots would be the least nightmarish for a couple of plebs to A-Z it over to?

It depends on when you come, and assuming you get the train to Liverpool St. then you can head North to Downham and Mitch or South to Newington, both are not far from the station. You can catch the East London line to near beginners polo after rush hour which goes from Shorditch (nr L. St.) to Honor Oak (near Camberwell). No courts are that far away really (apart from Wests ;) (Just a bit further than the others from the East).
Easy!

Awesome, thank you!

we playing today then?

i'll be there, but without a mallet. There should be at least one other CTUKer.

Hell yeah, it's on! Anyone there 6.30ish?

No skydancer :( and John H is away for 3 weeks, but we'll definitely still have enough for games.

Let me know if you need a spare mallet people.

1. Fausto
   

should be there for 7 with another, but no need for mallets.
and i haz your wheel

I might make it for 6.30, got to meet rik first...

Might also stop at a freinds to get some gravel to fill the holes!

The legendary Elguapo will be there for 6.30pm so I'm in for early doors and gravel hole filling too.

ill try to come earlier if ya'll are there at 6.30 then

Won't make it for 6.30, but not much later...
