Principle of the tourney and gifts

It's easy: No gift …. NO POLO
Each team brings a gift for another one. So each team will receive a gift from another one.
(Your gift has to be signed => « from 'team name' »).Keep in mind that a team is composed of 3 players, it's always hard to divide 1 item between 3 persons.
At the end, each team gets to pick one of the gifts under our Polo Christmas tree.

Thank god you were specific for some reason my stupid mind was thinking 1pm was the right time!

Are some local teams allowed to register early or could it end up being just London teams with fast connections?! :)

• there's a count down on the website where you have to register so you guys can't miss it.

• and yes we are keeping 4 spots for local teams

To go by train how much might this cost? And hotel prices?

I think they said they are able to house everybody.

I'm not that sociable.

It's quite easy to come, You can take the ferry "New Heaven - Dieppe" and either do London-Newheaven and Dieppe-Rouen by train (10£ + 8€ approx) or come by car and put it on the ferry. Dieppe Rouen is a really short drive, less than an hour.

And yes, no Hotel needed! we can house everyone

I am not a player and not that keen on sharing accommodation but thanks for the offer.

then I'd say, hotel might cost around 20€/night depending on the hotel

Wow, didn't realise it could be so cheap to get there.

I'm in if it's that cheap.

Train between Rouen and Dieppe is exactly 10.90€ (each way) if you are over 25, Ferry is pretty cheap too, 38 euros (return), less if you are less than 25 if I recall correctly.

Gutted can't make it but will try to make it one day for throw-ins either late winter/early spring

Will, or anyone not playing, how about the 50 mile ride to Newhaven. £20 or what ever the ferry is and then the ride to ruinouen is what 30miles? Easily doable in a day.

if my team doesnt get registered and i decided to go i would probably be up for this!
