Old Polo Thread

just a thought, why don't we put it to the council that if they let us call it ours, we'll pay to have it resurfaced? i have to say i have no idea how much that'd cost but it doesn't need to be the best of surfaces, just smooth and flat. the main benefits are already there (green space and low walls), we just need to get the surface sorted.

as for how we'd raise the money, i'm sure there's some money in the powerhouse pot and we could hold a fundraising tourney (or other fundraising event) at the powerhouse. or even pay dues to be in the MHBPA?

i'm sure the council would rather have a usable court than a mess, they just can't be arsed doing it themselves...

Powerhaus pot I can imagine is very little if existing at all. I think it will cost hundreds to get the sruface redone, as it would have to be done by the coucnicl professionals. Also I don't thinbk the council are in the habit of letting people call certain parts of public parks "theirs" ?

I had a look today too, it's fuckign shit, worse than Manley or Chorlton. I still think we could just resuyrface it oursaelves? bet noone said anything when the hip replacements did bits, and I got some yellow workmans shirts?
