2010-10-17 BFF Polo Tournament

As the title suggests, it is nearly time for the BFF polo tournament.
I am guessing this will be a lot more low key than the Open. A few Europeans expected but i doubt many north Americans.

The Date is Sunday the 17th of October
It is part of a whole week of bike related films and events being hosted by the Barbican. The polo tournament will be at Newington courts.

From what i gather, Jon wants to make it like the Polo of old with no established teams and minimal rules. I will try and find out exactly what this means when i next see him.

I think that this will suit Brighton polo very well.
Seeing as its over a month away i am sure we could get at least 3 teams involved.

So.. List time.

1- Matt

1- Matt
2 - Rich

I might be up for this, it will depend on uni and commitments closer to the time

unfortunatly I am scattering my grandads ashes on that day so I am out

Yessssssssss. Must not get upset at this one ;)

1- Matt
2 - Rich
3 - Paul

1- Matt
2 - Rich
3 - Paul4-tom

Team 2:

1. - Tim
   
2. - Josh
   
3. - Josh
   
   

Not fully confirmed but really hope so. It could be UoB polo teams first outing.

I will come as supporter, replacement or team 3 member.

well thats a big fuck you tim.thanks.

you'd already put your name on the other list.....

i thought it was just a list of who was interested.i wasn't being serious...no worries

Keep your hipsterhairs on ladies. No need for in-fighting, I think we should show a unified face of silliness from Brighton.

The Know What To Expects....

The UoB team is now

• Tim
  
• Josh & Josh

so we will have a floating player if someone is short.

You're all floaters in my book.

Will be on my way back from In The City - fingers crossed - so will be there to heckle/sub/drink. x

whoevers not playing in the brighton uni team we could get on yours if needed?

I have to start a team too as I have played with Rich already at the open. Is that right?

Let's call it No Tantrums as a reminder to myself...

• Paul
  

I've asked to be considered as a free agent for the tourney unless some of you other Btown boys think you'd like me on your side. I'm toting "previous competitive experience" as my USP ;)

Ok Brighton crew, it's looking like a very early start. All the trains on sunday are slow so if we want to arrive in time for the proposed 9.30 start we'll have to set off at 7.15!

either that or stay Sturday night and meet Sunday morning. I might do this and stay in Peckham.

what's everyone thinking?

Uh-Oh. Planned engineering works between Haywards Heath and Brighton on that Sunday. This means a bus to Haywards then train onwards. I'm not sure if we'll be able to take bikes...

edit: I just looked and the train companies are under no-obligation to provide space for bikes and furthermore it says this on the National Rail site - "Engineering work may affect train services. Non-folding bicycles are not allowed on rail replacement bus services at any time. Folding bicycles are accepted if fully folded."

So that's us fucked for Sunday travel.

travel up on saturday, get pissed sunday night, Stumble home on Monday?

Nice if you have the cash and connections to do so, a bit shit if you just want to play polo then come home.
