  • Hello all! My name is Aaron Hand and I play polo in Columbia, Missouri, USA. My band is coming over for a UK tour from 17 Dec until 23 Dec and after tour I'm looking to travel around until I leave on 9 Jan playing polo in different cities. I know I'll for sure be in Manchester on 15 and 16 Dec, Leeds on 24 25 and 26 Dec, Edinburgh from 29 Dec until 1 Jan, and then I leave from London on 9 Jan so I can definitely play there as well. I have a week of free time from 1 Jan until 9 Jan that I want to travel around and play polo with people I have a friend in Bristol I'd like to visit so if they have a club that would be cool too.

    Basically, I'm writting to get some connections to people in these clubs so I can find out when pickup is or see if people will set up special pick ups so I can come out and play. I'd love if there was some winter tournament I could play in, but i know those dont come up in the winter very often.

    Also, while in Edinburgh me and a couple friends are looking for a place to stay so if someone there could help us out that would be fantastic! Thank you very much and I hope to hear from some helpful people!

    P.S. I'm friends with the people over at Fixcraft so if any one wants stuff from there hit me up and I'm sure we can work out a deal to where you buy things from them and I bring it to you so that you dont have to pay a huge shipping price.

    THank you!

  • we play in bristol and would be great to play with you.

  • We play in Manchester on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons - so December 15th is good! What's the band and where in Manchester are you playing??

  • If your anywhere near Cambridge come by and play on are indoor court. play sunday, tuesday and thursday. All are welcome.

  • all the info for Edinburgh is right here - http://edinburghbikepolo.com/forum/

    games are played on Thursday night and weekends but that will be NYE when your in town. best check the forum to see if anything is happening.

  • Expect some soggy polo. At that time of year, I'd definitely try and make it to the cities with indoor courts!

  • we play in bristol and would be great to play with you.

    We play tuesday and Thursday evening from about 6:30 - 9:30 or 10 pm depending on location, for more info find the Bristol Bike Polo group on Facebook. Annoyingly there are a couple of dead Bristol Bike Polo groups but i think ours has the most members so should be obvious.

  • New Year polo in London should be fun, you might even have to clear some snow with us. The London League will still be going on and you may be able to sub in for a team if they need a third (if you fancy some more competitive games).

    We are still working on setting up our Manchester show. My band is called Landlocked (feel free to check us out landlocked.bandcamp.com)

    I can't wait to play with you guys!

    I would love some competitive play! what nights of the week do you play in london?

  • Most nights of the week: usually Tuesday/Thursday in North London and Monday/Wednesday in South London and then wherever on the weekends.

  • wow playing polo more than 2 nights a week would be amazing haha do you guys play on both saturday and sunday?

  • My tentative plan as of now is:

    15 Dec playing in Manc
    29 Dec playing in Edinburgh
    1 Jan playing in either Edinburgh or Manc (pending on who is playing on new years day)
    3 Jan playing in Bristol
    5 Jan playing in Cambridge
    7 and 8 playing in London

    If someone can put me up in Edinburgh, Cambridge and London that would be awesome. And in Edinburgh I'll have a couple friends traveling with me so if you have floor space for 4 that would be awesome.

    Thank you guys for all of your help!

  • should be no problem here in cambridge, ill let the guys know.

    Will be able to put you up in Cambridge no worries.

  • Our house is taken at New Years, otherwise I would have put you up. Will ask around the others.

    There was chat of going away for Hogmanay, up north to a bothy in the Highlands. We should be about for the 29th though, not sure about the 1st. Ill keep ya posted. You'd be welcome to join us if you wanted.

    Sounds like an ace trip man. Got a link to your band's tunes?

  • someone will be able to put you up in Bristol, including me.

  • Conn Artist or Tigeruppercut, any luck finding some floor space for 4 people for a few nights? it would be so greatly appreciated for any small space. Thank you guys!

  • At the airport getting ready to fly to the UK, I can't wait to play with you all! Manchester, ill be seeing you tomorrow night! If anyone from Manc, Cambridge, and London could add me on Facebook (Aaron Hand) that would be awesome so I can keep in touch!

  • We'll be playing tomorrow night, see you then

  • Manchester, can I get the rough address for where and what time you guys play tonight? I'll be into Manchester at 415ish.

  • 1830ish in moss side, check the MCR polo thread for details or I'll post a link when i get to a computer, people have been a bit reluctant to play in the rain recently but I'll come out for a knock around whatever, you got a phone number whilst you're over here?

  • ^ We've a good turn out tonight... Aaron, do you need a bike/mallet?
