West London Polo - Westway Sports Centre

ifaik, there are two stored away.
and yes to smoking, and i'd assume yes to drinking, but tinnies, and there is slim pickings purchase drink from in the surrounding area

Cool, I might be +1 too, although the lack of smoking might be an issue! :)

Can make it for 7:20ish to coach/ref/chat/make up numbers; sadly not on my polo bike.
I think greasyslag might make it too...?

I'll probably be up there quite early, I finish work on HSK at 5... Anyone else?

I'm finished up around 4:30pm near Kings X, but will have to get some food somewhere along the way, so should be there by 6pm.

sadly not on my polo bike.

There are the loaners if you want to play...

We can get some grub up on Portobello Road, Kev... There's a great Spanish deli that does cheap, delicious baguettes and you could eat a falafel from Falafel King, yeah?

We can squeeze a cheeky pint in while we're waiting...

I too should be there by 6.

Cool, only one more and we've got six.

I also won't be down till 6... Or a bit later...

I will probably come down for a couple of hours after work. I just sold my only bike suitable for polo though, would I be able to have a go on someone else's please?

Apparently there are a coupla loaners knocking about, we should be OK for bikes...

Might swing by on my way home, watch some bicycle polo.

Big thanks to TS, Crumb, and Khornight2 who came along this evening. Esp. TS given the large distance involved in the trek home to Brixtown.

Large crowd of west newbies showed up this evening - some just watched, about seven or eight first or second timers gave it a go, word had obviously spread. But it still needs about four people to come down every week to keep the churn of games going. LPC please dont disappoint!

A woman (Katherine?) from RBKC was down too, she was really positive about it and will come along next week again to give it a shot, she was wearing heels this evening and couldnt play.

ill deffo be there next week and hopefully will have two keen newbies with me

Actually we definitely need four established people every week because there are only two loaners, and people arent generally turning up on polo-friendly bikes (pashleys, brakeless fixies, etc)

i'l be down to watch next week, sadly i've never played polo. may give it a go if there's availability.

I've got my Wednesday's back now, so I'll come at some point.

Glad to hear that more people turned up this week. I'm unable to make next week as I'll be in Edinburgh but will make sure I'm available to come down (accross) the week after.

Nice one everyone, was the feedback good? Will people come again?

I should be able to make next week.

The vibe was all positive last night. Everyone went away very enthusiastic, and loads of promises of coming back and bringing others

This sounds brilliant. Love that we're lining up the next Gen of poloistas.

Kev you got the email of the grass polo ladies for me?

Make sure you get them down on Saturday, Joni... They were shocked and delighted to hear that there was a London ladies hardcourt group...

Sounds like an awesome evening, good job guys!
