Really keen to get this started up again.
I emailed Gareth above a while ago to check what the current scene was like and he said it's pretty non-existent. How many of your original players are still about? Would appreciate some advice on who might still be interested.
I don't mind starting a Facebook group and help spreading the word but in the past have found that approach to be unsuccessful in the long run. The polo that I started in Essex only lasted for a few months, partly due to using that method of organisation. I also used to play in Birmingham for 3 years and their system works well - get everybody to sign in to the forum each week and put their name down on a list if they can play, that way they know if there will be enough players and whether it's worth turning up. This pretty much eliminates demoralising low turnouts
