London Bike Polo

Rattlebag - the idea is that we have enough mallets for everyone - i.e. 6 'cos thats the max which will be playing at any time - and then just rotate them based on who is playing.

uhhhhhh, clever. didn't fink of dat

But the more the better. As last week we broke 1, so everyone should ame to bring one and not just turn up with no effort.

i'm working on mine but won't be there on sunday

while working i spyed out some wood and some plastic tubing,i will try to make some top notch clubs.

my only free day this week is saturday, ill try, but no garentees.

damn, i'm out this coming sunday but on the bright side it gives me more time to built "the ultimate polo mallet"!

I've got a big pile of wood fram a chair that broke this week.... It's from and ikea chair, so wont be best quality, but will certainly be new and won't break. I've not really got enough time to make a mallet this week, but I'll try.... if anyone wants to come and pick up the wood for mallet building than feel free to do so - I'm near Liverpool Street station

I would like one of the long bits with a kink before you through it out if possible.

Has anyone read Matt Seaton this week? *(Guardian two Wheels)

Apparently "cycling is the new golf" After a lengthy discourse on the merits or not of city boys hemeraging mega cash for the latest carbon apendage he finishes his piece with, **"But there is one good think to be said in golf's favor. It isn't polo."

Or is it?

FT had a similar article on Monday i think...

Defend it? Is it under siege? Is making mallets in such a situation wise?

Those who want wood email me and we'll sort out a collect - my email is on my profile - I'm at home until about 6ish

can't get there till later. mabey ill forgo the wood for the evening.

Wood? Who's got wood?

I've got wood. I wont be throwing it out too soon though.... so it will be here for a while for Mallet building..... that's what I'll tell my girlfriend when she comes home to find that pile of wood still there!!!

Ok motivation wasn't there but as always a great day!

I had a lot of fun today.... thanks guys. I wasn't very good at it, but I'm going to try and get along each week - hopefully that will make me better..... It's also a really good idea to have your own mallet that you can get used to.... I went through about 5 different ones today.... Somehow non of them made me hit the ball better :-)

has anyone got pictures from today?

i do!! they will be up loaded shortly:)

we should stick to one bike polo thread.....we usual right in the "polo sunday?" thread

i apologize Sir

its what dave would have wanted:)
