NE London Bike Polo: Wednesdays: Mitchison Road N1 / Weekends:Hackney Downs E5

Yeah I want to play today I think. But I don't have a mallet or a polo bike....What time
Do people show up?

Is anyone in Hackney + has wire cutters?

Yes

Polo today? Who's in?

I'd be in from 5-ish, if you are still there.

No one else? Beautiful day out!!

I'm ready for polo, just say the word and I'll come to the courts.

Anyone else?

yep, i could still play

Anyone for NE polo tonight?

Otherwise I might have to go South, and the phoenix would cry.

Ok, who's in for downs tonight?

In

Yep, in for tonight.

Jonathan Beck from the Olympic Broadcasting Committee will also be there filming some bike polo and securing us some "lost olympic sports making a comeback" coverage.

If you want to be interviewed just speak up, they're interested in the history of the sport and why we started playing again, etc.

I'm up for it. But would maybe suggest mitch as downs was packed when i went through yesterday. Downs is nicer, but not up for waiting around for kids for hours.

In. I need polo before I leave on Thursday.

I'm in.
I just explained to that guy about the difficulties we face not having an official court.
Maybe we can use this as ammo?

He's gonna head to Downs for 7ish.

Good one Toddy. Al's sister is in toon so I may not make it but am in for this afternoon if anyones around...

i'm around - no bike but can pop over to say hello

I might be in if i'm not too tired. I vote downs too. We need to push home to people what it's like. So if that means busy court use that's that!

Yeah, I guess so. Just really want to play. Hopefully having a film crew there will give us some gravitas for pushing the footballers off!
See you there

Heading home now, then straight to the court

In for about 7.30

You guys at Mitch?

Polo tonight, 7pm at downs?

I'm in. Can do earlier if anyone wants to...

Hello All

There's an Argentinian player, Oliver, who I met at the Euros. He's in town today until the 30th and would be keen to come hang out at a throw-in session. I told him that it'd have to be NE of course.

Trouble is that I'm tied up this eve and out of London from tomorrow till Sunday eve.

Would you nice folk be able to give him a nice welcome, lend him a bike and a mallet to play with?

If there's a decent sized group playing tonight please post on the forum and I'll try and get him over to Downs(?) tonight.... Otherwise I'll keep an eye on the forum and perhaps get him over on Saturday / Sunday (or of course get him to join LFGSS).
