Shame i could not grab hold of my pal and grab his MTB dvd's for this...got some nice stuff..

Anyway..sun..and polo.. =)

After a special forces type operation earlier this morning our goals are stashed in a van ready to be dropped off at my garage after work. Netting and clips/straps are readily available on the Internet and I'll grab the uprights sometime next week.
A bit of minimal fabrication and they will be ready to rock.
Then I'll look at what will be needed (faffed) to make them easily transportable.....

Just purchased 2 Nets, and 30 velcro cable ties for securing them, cant find what I'm after for the uprights so a trip to a retail establishment is on the cards next week.

Getting there now...be nice to put a picture of them completed up on here.

Happy Birthday Dan!

Thanks!

You kept that quiet!
Here's my present...

rofl! Happy birthday Dan

To be fair, he had his hands on his head as if he'd been naughty, and he looked liked he'd smoked too much weed, and the cake was green anyway. He probably felt like he was contributing to the decorative effect.

29 is nothing. Next year I'll be hassling you all for a birthday tournament no doubt.

Loved the games today. Eager to see some of the video footage. Matt can you post some bits up?

having trouble with the hardware at the moment, footage saved to camera not card, USB wont register in PC. SD card now chipped at one corner and wont work in Camera, not happy

Bummer.

Well done to James today - very impressive first try of polo, if he gets a bike and mallet he'll be one to watch. I think he had a good sense for the game and managed to goaltend, defend and attack well. All he needs is to wind in those shots a bit (don't we all) but I loved it when he leathered one into an open goal from about a metre. Have it!

Yes! Ace polo today.

My suggestion for making teams, please read and voice your opinion!

Can I prod you again for the Brighton tourney. We really want to see Brum representing.

If there are only two of you, email anyway and you can always find a sub on the day.

Im up for that. Can people say whether they can/cant make it as we havent heard from everyone? Lucas?LJ?sarah?pete?si?

I think you'll have to assume that nobody else is up for it and start looking for a sub as it's next weekend isn't it?
