Brighton Hard Court Bike Polo - Official Thread

So far the Doodle is showing that Wednesday is the best day for everyone.

It will really make a difference if everyone fills it in and anyone who doesn't may miss out.

Need to borrow a spoke key if anyone's got?

Can't do next Thursday either Tim. If we have to move from Wednesday, Tuesday is better for me.

Next Tuesday is a no go because of double practise for roller derby.

This is the whole point of the Doodle, if we want to change it has to be by consensus.

Wendesday works best and is another reason for doing DIY lighting but it's definitely worth checking out the Shoreham site, particularly because if the smaller court is usable, we may be able to stick to Wednesdays!

Nothing is going to be perfect but I'm sick of it all being up in the air.

Consensus says Wednesdays, deal with it. Having said that, I'm still out out out, it's too much drama already.

Deal with what Dice?

The only reason for changing the day was in order to work around the Wednesday booking at Shoreham.

We have narrowed down to two options:

• Lighting PP and playing on Wednesday when it's dry
  
• Using the smaller court at Shoreham (we need to give it a go to say either way)
  
  

This means that after next Thursday when we've tried out the Shoreham courts we will have a final answer.

At the moment it's looking like using Blaze's generator and getting some halogen lights is going to win out.

I figured out how the Bruiser got so trashed

He's riding his new bike, the new version of the MKE Bruiser in this, but it's the same guy!

HA I'm ordering a structural survey on it.... :P

Sensible.

Jesus, thats gotta be a strong bike!! And what wheels is he riding, I want some!

As for Thursday, lets defo check it out...the rain on Wed sucked a bit :)

I reckon learning to play in the wet is a good skill. Look at Bristol, we all had games in the pouring rain, if you sacked it off each time it rained then you would never be able to play in those conditions. Obviously is there is standing water on the court that makes things much harder

I can play in the rain fine, I just can't see!!! I need to get little windscreen wipers :)

Josie Good luck with the bike polo girls tournament.

yeah bring home some gold jose

Wish I was there http://challonge.com/hellsbelles2011

Sorry, can't play tomorrow, gotta see the in-laws

^Me too but I will try and get down later in the afternoon

urghh todays going to be lovely but so many people dropping out/not being able to make it.
Jamie has my mallet. FML! Could anybody bring one i could borrow for today please? x

I'll be down at 1 with a slightly dodgy spare mallet.

I'm coming but I doubt you'll want any of my spares Danny, I'll bring one anyway.

I'm here

Easy. Its gone one now I know, will be down shortly but my back wheel is still out of action. Are the spare blue raleigh or silver marin at cranks? does anyone know their whereabouts / is it possible for me to pick one up??
p.s this is Andy btw

Just got a pair of these from UK Lacrosse so hopefully no more cracked knuckles. Also Bidou got a serious eye injury at Hells Belles this weekend. Apparently he took a ball in the eye, it fractured the socket and caused bleeding behind, they think he probably wont get full sight back in that eye.

So I suggest everyone invests in a helmet with a face guard (esp seeing as Andy took a mallet to the face on Wednesday). I think I will wear mine even if we're just throwing in now, being hot and having your sight obscured a bit is better than being blind in my opinion

Anyone free tomorrow for a hitaround? I got the day off. Should be sunny too!

What have I been saying for the past god knows how long? Only a matter of time etc...

What's happening this week? Is anyone planning to play on Wednesday if the weather's ok, or is everybody aiming for Shoreham on Thursday instead?
