hehe ! :p

slamm Another ace day at polo, this time made great by Pisumo!
Absolutely brilliant!

some photos here, towards the end of the set with the fish eye lens (first time using it, kinda liking it, good for getting in the action of a game)

lovely lovely stuff man

So when's the next one? I'm keen to come and stare gormlessly have a go.

Every Sunday!

whts the deal with the floodlight court? does the key work and can the lights be operated?

yes and yes Agata (sorry if I spelt it wrong) is the woman to speak to, can't remember her user name.

it's 'sol'

Did you guys ever get that wall built? Haven't been able to get over due to working Sundays.
Just been clearing up my shit, ready to move home, and found a few cans of decent Montana spray paint.
D'ya need it to 'glam' up the court? I got silver and gold!
Otherwise it'll be getting thrown out :-(
Get ya stencils out.

ahh that would be cool to get some stencils up there but theres no surfaces to spray onto...except maybe the floor.

bring the cans to polo!

which will be covered by skid marks soon enough...

I like the idea but I am not to sure it will be for the best. Coincels are arsey bastards and they have staied out of our way for now (usually when something become a bit organised they start to say you should book a court and that type of shit) but if we start painting on the tarmac they may get a bit funny. Like I said I like the idea but we don't want attetion in the wrong way, especialy as we have made it to the big time now as we are in the paper and soon to be on tv.:)

thats a bit of a negative mentality....why did you bother getting up this morning...your only going to have to go to be tonight.

Columbia Rd lights:
go through the court gate, walk left along the fence to the first lamp post and the key is attached to the fence around it close to the floor. The key is black, the wire it's on is white, and it's not very visible to avoid getting nicked.
This might help :

( can you tell i'm bored at work ?)
then off you go over the fence to the silver box on the side of the court and job done.

anyway, we just need to be careful when we put the key back with the local kids hanging around ( looking for trouble or light switch keys ) and that we hide it enough into the fence.

Well done sol! Good map!
I will add that you need to open the narrow end bit of the grey box to get to the big red switch not the large side pannel.

next time we do a tournament, we know who to invite as out-of-towners:

I agree with Tommy regarding upsetting the council by painting the floor. However, if there was boards, bricks etc. to stop the ball going out then that's what I was intending the paint could be used for. With so much street art around, I'm sure the council wouldn't go ape about some paint on the floor. I think it's great that the court is being used as before it was dead around there really. Someone want to put some stencils together? Ideas?

I got gold, silver, blue, and pink.
