Brummy Dan (danwentskiing, ex-Black Stabbath/Angela Merkel's Nocturnal Emissions) and myself (ex-SoYo Polo Co,
dubiousexcellent taste in socks) are looking for a third for this.
If you fancy playing with us, please get in touch with your CV (should include playing history, favourite tipple and a discourse on how double-goalies are killing bike polo). -

Pre-amble:
I'll stick up the link at 7. I'd like to do it earlier and go out but if I do that something's bound to go tits up. It's a google doc. I assume it will work. I hope it will work.
Teams should have at least two players per team (i.e. only one tbc). Once registered you'll get sent an e-mail with bank details (probably tomorrow). From then you'll have one week to provide payment to confirm your place. After that it gets offered up (if we're full).
I haven't a clue if we'll actually fill up here and now. Just taking precautions in case.

Oh. Another thing. You'll be asked for some words or phrases you associate with playing polo (e.g. "goal", "shuffle", "what am I doing with my life?"). It's for a thing. Please humour us.

By bike:

There's normally a 3 hour limit on parking at the site. This will be in place Friday night, but not on the Saturday and Sunday, so you can park there all day then.
There's some on street parking in front of the sports centre for the Friday.
I'm afraid that the sports centre has a no-alcohol policy, so strictly no drinking allowed on site, or in the car park.
[B]Accommodation[/B]:
Limited accommodation with local players.
A couple of decently priced hostels (Full Moon and Rock & Bowl Motel).
Campsite at https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213960400319471670075.0004da6610e0ce583c74e&msa=0&ll=51.465264,-2.578086&spn=0.002152,0.006083&iwloc=0004da669c6069d60aa29. Contact Pete Chapman, 07seven74 4eight66four8
