Am I right in thinking there are only a few Wednesday sessions left? What would it take to carry them on?

I assume the council or bikeminded need to pay for it but I'd they don't I'm willing to put in money even if i don't go much, can't be too much if 7 or 8 put money in. Otherwise theres lhbpa finds?

The Westway is incredibly cheap to hire even if the council stop fronting the monies... I can't see why they'd stop though, they're very keen to secure a cycling community in the borough and see bike polo as part of that objective.

Ben or James, if I give you Neil's contact email, can you talk to him about it? My plate is full & I'm approaching burnout organising the beginners tournament.

yup hit me up benblausten at gmail dot com. Ill email him tomorrow. Also Kev feel free to delegate some stuff to me with the tourney. Im unemployed and have time to do stuff. you have my number...

Kev - please send it on to me as well. Alternatively Ben, please cc me in to anything you send.

In for tonight.

ok will do. Also on for this evening, vit too. Ice hockey goals!

Some pics from last night. Neil who is a road safety officer from RBKC dropped the ice hockey goals down, they are really good to play with. He then had a go himself, he was pretty nifty for a first timer!

I really hope some of the new Westies team up and play in the league this season. Merit split again please!
