    Venue

    Courts

    Here's what last year's tournament looked like: Bristol Open 2013 on Vimeo

    Courts are at St Pauls Community Sports Academy, easily accessed via the M32 - St Pauls, Newfoundland Road, Bristol, BS2 9NH. We have two excellent large courts, smooth surface, shoulder high boards all round. The centre has toilet and shower facilities.

    [B]Directions:[/B]
    By bike:

    https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213960400319471670075.0004da54435945193ed33&msa=0&ll=51.460578,-2.574406&spn=0.00488,0.013937

    By car:

    https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213960400319471670075.0004da548c99e35956102&msa=0&ll=51.464382,-2.577281&spn=0.009759,0.027874

    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).

  • Nice work Bristol!

  • good work can wait .

  • Mega.

  • Yay!

  • ummm my leg is ok now, would be great to play in this. Who wants to team up ?

  • Wooohooooo

  • Brummy Dan (danwentskiing, ex-Black Stabbath/Angela Merkel's Nocturnal Emissions) and myself (ex-SoYo Polo Co, dubious excellent 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).

  • Ace.
    We're looking to come down frai Glasgow, bit of a trek, but excited for some spring polo action.

    Any chance of somewhere to sleep / sofa/ floor for fri/sat night? Its about an 8 hour drive at best so don't fancy trying to put a tent up after that ;)

    #morepolo

  • Book one of his little shacks or the big wigwam thing.

  • Local spare available for this, if you want ol' fixie guy in goal. Could ride freewheel?

  • 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.

  • Go.

    £1 off entry for the first person to let me know it doesn't work.

  • Will we be able to see the other teams registered?

  • Seems to work fine. Looks like there'll be a team list in the OP

  • Soon. I'll post the first batch up in 10 mins, but then I've got to go out. I'll get full details up tomorrow.

  • Seems fine to me too.

  • Sorry if you get ours more than once.

  • Worked fine for me

  • OP updated with teams registered so far. More updates to follow later this evening, or tomorrow.

    Thank you for your patience.

  • Woo!

  • 11 spots still available.

  • Damn. This shit is as intense as Rouen.
