Beginners Polo

Remember kids! Plug those holes! (Bar ends and mallet shafts)

So...I've never played before but I'm really interested in starting.
Is the beginners session happening this tuesday? I'll pop down if that's okay.
I've got a bike I've thrown together, but would need to borrow a mallet. (In exchange for beers).

Got my bike pretty much finished so I'm down for Tuesday too.
Wicksie do you still have that mallet for me? If so I can get it from you in the day or just on Tuesday of you are coming

Great, come along. It should be happening Tuesday but please check this thread before and make sure there are at least 6 people in so it's happening. I have plenty of spare mallets you can borrow so no worries.

Nice one Rascale! Yep still got the mallet so I'll bring it Tuesday if you like.

Should be a few people in, looking forward to it!

haaaa. I guess the object is blah.

Left handed people can charge, they just need to be to the left of the ball (so only really useful if the lefty can reach the mallet down on his/her right).

I've just seen this.
Louis if you said women can't charge I'd kick you in the nuts. (not really) (but Nik might)
It's not comparable anyway.

I hoped I'd got the point across that what I outlined was specific to the current beginner sessions as I felt the need to outline it based on how the sessions are transgressing. Not polo as a whole.
Yes falling off is part of it, and a large amount of HTFU is needed in polo, but I just want to pre-empt any more injuries if I can.

did someone say cake?

Good lad. It's your round btw. :)

If I can borrow a bike I might come tonight, mine is in the middle of temporarily becoming commuter bike. No cake though, didn't have time last night...

If I do go, I won't be getting there until 8:45ish...

/rubbish commitment

You can use mine.
I bet you don't come though.

Rubbish.

Hi I am a newbie and I would like to come along for the beginners session. Ill bring my MTB but it would be great if I could borrow a bike and a mallet for a game or two.

What is your avatar Wicksie?

Where do you guys play in peckham?

Do you have lights, till what time, and would I be welcome?

Awesome, do it Ollie. There's a map on the OP. but basically get to Rye Lane, find the Cinema, go round the side of the car park, 3rd door is a ramp in, up to level 5, there from 7pm till 10.30 / 11pm ish, yep there are lights. Good times.

Avatar is my spirit animal Aidan. If / when you join the LHBPA (London Hardcourt Bike Polo Association) (which you should join, it's £5 a year and does great things for polo), you'll get a spirit animal.
Apparently I'm Mother Hen...
Oh, and come to polo!
And you Owen, we're there til late. :)
