Power in numbers

ATMs never give you fivers any more...

Some do, and they're rolling it out nationwide soon.

If you're lucky, they'll have run out of tenners too, and you can get 'em to pay for 4 years up front.

^ Good call...

John H may be stepping up as "Distribution Officer" if he is voted in at the next general meet. We will then buy mallet heads, shafts, balls and the like in bulk once he's done a quick assessment of everything (demand, potential to shift stock, time it takes to re-stock, etc).

But yeah, maybe end of November you'll be able to buy lots of stuff from the LHBPA at cost to members and maybe with a small mark-up to joe public.

Yeah, if the members decide it's something desirable I'm happy to do this.

Mike and Hassan, can this go on the site? Or would it lead to nefarious average joe types showing up and claiming to be a member when they're not?

It's ok to go on the site as long as we have an up to date member list.

This, below, is still valid but maybe it should be re-worded?

The asscociation now has 37 members. All polo players are encouraged to join and take part in decisions that affect us all.

If you need another reason to join, Push Cycles are now offering a great discount to LHBPA members:
*
10% off all polo related merch and labor. This will be at our discretion so no Cinelli Mash framesets! But yes to Charge Scissors...**Free assisted labour after hours. This means you can use my workshop after 6pm Mon-Sat while supervised at no cost. Any tools abused/broken will be replaced/repaired by user. Please book in advance.*
***Tyres for polo use will be price matched to any advertised 700c Marathon Plus *(including postage from web shops) or trade price +VAT, whichever is greater. Again, 'polo use' is at Push's discretion. This basically means no racing tyres, super knobbly or tubeless mtb tyres or tubular tyres.

I'll try to provide a list of our suppliers so people will know what they can ask for. But at the same time, we are more than willing to open accounts and order items in specially.

Just recently joined, where do I get my pin badge..?

If you need any help with websites etc I'd be up for helping out as much as I can.

No badge, no plastic wallet with LHBPA codebreaker tools, no signed photo of BAD, Cosmic or Apples, no Los Coños nudie calendar... In fact, nothin'... Seriously gypped...

All good points Chukker.

While not a resident, I like Rik, consider myself a London player and will join when I am back in town.

I like Rik
