Was that the sound of your mallet Aidan?

Yo has anyone seen or heard from east van rory and ken? They're staying at mine and where meant to call me this morning but i've not heard from them or can get hold of them.

Yep, I saw them at Newington on my lunch break, they just arrived, They are there playing now.

Call MAX to get hold of them.

Ok tar Gabes I was worried sick. I'll go down there in a bit.

im from cambridge excuse my lack of knowledge but where exactly is the tourny? (because im meeting someone from london to buy some forks) thanks!

Ok, so the BBC would like to film an exhibition game on Saturday morning, you'd need to be courtside at 7.45am! (If lots of teams come forward then I'll draw two out of a hat). You'll be famous and make your parents proud, hah.

Ideally they'd like to talk to some American teams too and others who have travelled further for the tourney. They'll be looking to get some context for the tournament, cover the growth of polo, maybe shoot the whole "presenter on a bike" routine. The idea is to encourage some people to come along to the tourney over the weekend and to get bike polo "out there".

(Could anyone who would like to help setup be courtside for 8am... there's lots to do!)

if you havent got two teams, jono, and i can convince the irishmen. we might come down early

DLH should be there by 8.30 so we can help out.

No parking restrictions at the weekend.
CPZ Mon - Fri 8.30 - 6.30.

OK, the format will be Swiss rounds, but divided into 2 groups.

One group will play from 10am to about 3. The second group from 3pm - 8pm.

Each team will play 4 games.

Top 16 from each group will qualify for 32 team double elim on sunday.

ALL Players still need to be COURT SIDE at 9.30 to find out when they play.

me and woody still need a third if anyone fancies it

Sara from New York is currently teamless.

If anyone needs a player I am available. PM me.
