Tourney: London Open 2011 - NS - July 30th and 31st

Throw-ins at Downham in the day, then polocat. People need somewhere (easy) to meet, many of them know where Downham is and will be arriving throughout the day (flights, etc). They have been told there will be throw-ins/meet-up at Downham.

The polo party's at the 3 Sisters on Saturday!

i imagine that you guys have already talked about this, but just wondering if there'll be a wheel truing stand in or around the courts over the weekend?

Truing stand, yep, in the mechanic area (provided by Look Mum No Hands).

Ok, calling all last minute teams or teams that need to change anything. The team list for the Open will be "locked" in place at midnight tonight, you will be turned away if you try and "turn up and play".

This is because the software has to be updated/set by Vince and we need 24 hours to test/confirm everything, if there are any issues with your team please get in touch ASAP.

Thanks.

And what about pickups today? where?

Mitch. You guys here already?

Yep!! see you later, we are at Ben,s place.

Sounds good. Polo is planned for Mitch tonight. Not sure when people will start playing today, but keep your eyes on this thread: http://www.lfgss.com/thread6372.html

Did you get into town early so that you can repair the damage you did to my bike at EHBPC? That's so kind, thanks.

guys - is anyone around today at 6pm to help with constructing the court??
ali can't find his driving licence and they need to drive stuff over to the court this evening... if you can help, please ring him on 07554 400 277 and let him know your about?
hope this works - thanks x

sorry not clear - they need to hire a van, so it would be someone who has all the stuff to be able to do that

I've spoken to Ali, it's no problem, plan goes on as normal.

wicked thanks jon - was panicking!!!

Anyone think of any quiet/safe areas/streets I could kip in my van in the vicinity of Hackney Downs?

Ha, it's hackney.

On a serious note, what about finding someone close-ish you will let you use their facilities in the morning.

Hey guys, Fabrice and I are looking for a third player to complete broken Legs. Our third is out due to a mallet strike in the eye (ouch). We'll arrive in london tomorow round noon and we will directly go to downham so anyone who wants to play, boy,girl,cat,dog you can either mail me at eugeneetpauline (at) gmail (dot) com or come to me or fabrice in london so we can't sort it out.

Do you want to sleep in a van Neil? Ben might be able to find you some floor space/a sofa? I'd head North of Hackney, less night life = less pestering, etc?

If visitors to town are looking to do other stuff over the weekend and take a break from the polo, there are a good few events happening.

Also, the Hackney Cycling Portraits exhibition is opening:

Lee Valley Campsite. It's not too far away from Hackney.

Yeah. Especially on Sunday. But Saturday would be good fun too (with a party after).
