Newcastle Polo

Hi Ol,
I'm out due to shoulder injury from speedway crash. I can ride a bike, but competitive mallet swinging is out of the question I'm afraid.....

youch. heal well vikingjohn

Sorry ol ... been laid low with some weird virus all week ... 2 days of shivering with cold, then 3 days of sleeping .... scared the shit out of me .. anyways back on my feet now ... be good to hook up and just batter a ball around in the week or next weekend ... if its just us 2 then we can stay local ... theres a wee court that's always empty down by Elswick road .. might be a good time to recce it

Flipping heck. Glad you're feeling better nige.

Hi strangers! Sorry to have been off the forum so long. I've had much to deal with, and it sounds like everyone else has been in the wars too.

As Ed's moving down London quite soon, we were thinking it would be good to host another lo-fi tournament in September before he's off. Also a good chance to get the crew back playing again, and make use of the Indian summer.

How would either Saturday the 8th or the 22nd be for everyone? I'll see if the other cities would be up for it and when they could do too.

Ill check when im free as I think im at a wedding on the 22nd I shall let ya know

That's champion, Steve.

if this happens i would be really interested in coming up for it. chatted to ed about coming to play north last time he was out. being a northern girl i could kill two birds with one stone, as they say.

You want to team up with Sylwia & me from Manchester?

I'm good for either of these dates Luke ... it could be a fun wee event if we can get enough takers

luke good news im free both dates and the polo bike is all working again :D

Nice one. Let's say the 22nd then as it gives more time to prepare. Oliver still has the boards from last time and I can sort out lunch for everyone, make a facebook event and tell the locals. John, could you bring goals and gazebo again?...and how's the shoulder?

All the other cities are dead up for it; there's even two new teams, one in Holmfirth and one in Washington!

Just been checking train times. We won't be able to get to Newcastle til 1007. How long a ride is it from the station? Do you have a postcode for the courts? Still no confirmation from the other holmfirth players we're playing tomorrows I'll see what they say. But I'm sure we'll get a team together.
Dave

That should be fine, Dave.

The court is here: http://g.co/maps/dn4kt - 5 minutes ride from the station.

not sure when Im about but will try to be around..can use my van in the morning possibly?

Sounds like a plan, Jack.

polo on sunday anyone?

Sure. Polo Direct Arena (Shieldfield) or the General Hospital? 3 til 5 would be best for me. How about everyone else?

Tourney court for me. Don't mind when

I'll be there at 3 then.

no bike but i might pop down

Not going to be able to make the tournament.

Good luck with it!

Only me up for coming to tourney so we don't have a team. Maybe next year.

Unlucky Dave, if you still want to come up you'll be able to sort out a team on the day.
