Ladies Polo

im coming for a beer or two tomorrow. i will just hang around on the side making the place look un tidy. x

Was hoping the doc today would say I could get back to polo this week, but he says bike polo sounds absolutely madness, so another 4 weeks... Still on the bright side, I will be back just in time for Christmas. Can we do a ladies polo Christmas special or something?

Is ladies gonna happen this week?
C'mon, its been ages since we had a nice big turnout!

possibilty: ladies polo then move en masse to the grosvenor?

Cool.

hey all, any of you academically inclined at the moment/have the free time to make a proposal? found this on a list i'm on...discussion on bike polo and gender?!? i -might- do it if no one else does...
ps in poland so won't make it to ladies this week. i'm stuck in a little town with no bike and no ball...can't wait till next week!

Call for Papers:

We invite all postgraduate and early career researchers interested in gendered aspects of sport to a one-day interdisciplinary conference.

This is a growing academic field which addresses important questions about equality, public health, representation, participation, citizenship and 'fair play.' With the Olympics in the UK, and a likely glut of related journalism, 2012 is an opportune time to investigate the framing of media
relationships between sport and gender.

The conference will be interdisciplinary, and welcomes contributions from many fields in order to foster understanding of, and promote relationships between a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives. We also intend to celebrate the achievements of women in sport, and this conference will be part of the marking International Women's Day.

The aims of this event are to: · Demonstrate and enrich the depth of study in this field. · Bring together academics, activists and others working on sport, gender and media.

The focus of the Conference is the relationship of media to sport and gender; however, papers addressing sports issues which underpin and inform this field will be considered. Topics might consider any of the following (but not limited to this list): · Sports journalism and gender equality ·
Gendered participation in elite sport · National identity through team sport · Media representations of race in sport · Sport in the age of the internet · Mixed gender or coed sport · Sports fans and fandom · History of sport media · Sports stars and sporting heroes · Sports institutions,
national sports programmes in schools and government intervention · Obesity, health and sport · Media's categorization of women's sport: Authentic sports pages, or weight loss/lifestyle magazine. · Media and the sport binary · Non-mainstream sport

Please send 300 word abstracts for papers, posters or roundtable discussion to womensportmedia@gmail.com by 12 December.

Boys at our Xmas party? Brave.
I'm really not keen on standing round for 1/2 hour in this weather (I'm supposed to be in Oz by now) but I guess there are 2 two courts almost guaranteed when it's this cold.
