Jono you waster, you never do anything for London polo.
(Beagle winky. Have a nice weekend in Devon)
From the mailout:
Apologies for the late night update. In respone to some questions that came back via email:
The Circle Line is closed tomorrow. But the Hammersmith and City line is still running. So you can still get a train to Latimer Road (with your bike). Please take the time to plan your journey to Westway. There are other overground and mainline stations relatively close by. Of course if you have a bike then getting there will be a lot easier... spin to win! TFL closure info is here:

There will be storage areas for bikes and bags on either sides of the court. We've booked the basketball training area and the side nearer the building, which I think is a cricket training spot. So please keep your bikes and bags in these areas. And do keep an eye on your gear - it hasnt ever been a problem at Westway but there will be a lot of people there tomorrow.
Please try and get there on time. We will do our best to accomodate latecomers, but once the entire first round has been played, i.e. once everyone who has arrived has played one game, then we will have to move on to the next round - and it wont be possible to admit latecomers because of the format we are using. So if we have a dozen teams, we will be finished the first round in an hour (games are ten minutes long). Sorry but we only have one court and we are under time pressure to get the games played. You will also be "whipped" during the day, so keep an eye on the schedule to know when you are up.
Set the alarm clock and join us early. Met Office says it's going to be a clear, crisp Autumn day, perfect conditions for polo. Cant wait.
If you have a smartphone, you can follow the entire day's proceedings, including results, the standings, and the schedule, at

John H is to be thanked for this - he's a wizard with the tournament scheduling - big thanks to him. We'll write up the rounds on the whiteboard at the courtside.
OK that's it. See you in the morning. Looking forward to it.
