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

Cool Dan..i'll keep it as a spare or unless someone shouts out between now and Sunday then.

All materials at home so will bring samples of that material for discs as well as tubing.

Sorted =)

Just bumping this up to the current page:

Sunday 14th November 10am highgate park

1 Simps
2 2Squeak
3 Pete (may by a little tardy)
4 danwentskiing
5 EMM
6 Daylightbombings
7 Andy
8 Hyper

With this many confirmed players, this could be an all-time turnout record. My mate Andy may show his face, and I seem to recall Lucas saying he was coming.

Any lurkers - get your name down!

Also, if someone has a stopwatch, can they bring it. Timed games are fairer and easier to manage with these kind of numbers.

I am in for Sunday. Changed bikes, so I hope to spend less time on the ground this week. Working on building mallets. Have 6 meters of 2 inch ABS, but no ski poles. Made two mallets this morning - one with wood handle and one with a graphite golf shaft. I have found that there are not many places to get used ski poles in the Midlands.

I have a few spare, but I'm holding on to them, as I went through the same maddening search myself a few months back.

London people are doing a group order, for good strong ones, here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread48424-8.html. I doubt they'll post up to here, but if you're ever down in the smoke, you could arrange to collect. They're good, strong poles and cheap at £8 each, or so.

Double figures polo!!!

for tomorrow should i:

bring my old polo bike and and possibly face further problems/humiliation?

play it safe and come on that mountain bike?

play it safe on the mtb.

I really enjoyed the games today - I would say so, but I think when we have the right numbers, we should play in teams. It helps people actually play for the team win, rather than just for individual glory. Obviously, it's not often we get 9, or 12 players, but still...

Newer players still progressing well - if Lucas gets a lower gear he'll be one to watch I reckon.

I'm not going to suggest a date, but we should do seeding towards the end of December/start of January, as there will be at least one and maybe two tournaments we could send between one and three teams to. So if you think you'll be interested, the onus is on you to practice and get your bike and mallet up to standard!

The next time I'll be available to play will be Weds, December 1st, or Sunday 5th.

Well that was fun, some very good games =)

Next time though, i am bringing something to wedge that bloomin gate shut ;-)

Thanks for the mallet material, and ill obtain some wheel disc material over the week, it gets chucked out anyway, shame to waste it.

Im free next sunday, and wednesday if the lights are sorted out.

Cheers peeps =)

Only if there are 6 people or more.
Anyone got a ball?

I've found another place to play by me, it's a roller hockey court in Bedworth at Bedworth leisure centre, I shall enquire how much it is to borrow it and it's lights on a regular basis next time i'm passing.

It's less than a mile from Bedworth Train station.
these are the co-ordinates 52.475124,-1.473129 put them in google maps :) any good?

right, went to check this out. its £37 for a 45minute session :O, it's booked out every week night and most weekends in block bookings.. the worst bit: it's a synthetic turf court :(

I tried :(
