• The idea is to promote cycling and polo not to demote it, especially for a younger generation.

    I have some project ideas regarding cycling schemes.... i.e bikes for the community through a recycling scheme and the likes and there is a skate park here

    I have achieved what I set out to achieve by posting this thread. A decent number of people seem interested in coming to Derry and Dublin, which as a double event seems quite attractive to me. For these people I will happily organize the event, even though I am busy with final year studies... Derry is a very interesting place to visit for a couple of days, historically and in terms of politically current affairs and although it is not up to speed in many ways there is a lot to be learned by visiting....

    Secondly, I don't know why you're challenging that the team was a Derry team. This seems ambiguous. Technically I recruited the lads to join the team. could not attend the tournament it was unfortunate but I'm glad that the lads went to represent and part take...

    I'm getting a feeling that Derry doesn't appeal to you personally as a place to visit for a polo tournament, but the idea is to host a little tournament and have some fun, with the Dublin event on the same week

    I'm not sure about your view of people traveling to events in order compete against local teams exclusively. I can only speak for myself in this regard as I go to the tournaments to enjoy the atmosphere and challenge of playing against new players. It could be said that I am not as fortunate as you guys living in London, in the sense that you have access to so many players and games, but I don't see the need for challenging the suitability of my hosting a tournament. If people come, that would be great. If they don't. Hey! That's life.

    We will have one Derry only team and we might not have the best expertise but it's about taking part and having fun. At least it is for me.
