South London Bike Polo (Tues/Thurs/Sun) - Newington gardens SE1 / Agnes Riley gardens SW12

i imagine it will be open til dark at least, if we meet at 7.30 that gives us 2.5 hours i reckon. i'll cycle up there in a bit and check the gate times

anyone got a 23t Cog? I buy with dorrah.

What happend to the list? I'll be down since I haven't seen a polo game in weeks and weeks. I think playing may be a no-no though.

Anyone planning to be there earlier than 7:30? don't think I can be arsed to slouch around work till then...

I love how incredibly inaccurate the title of this thread is now :-)

no-one liked my list.
I might be around earlier than 7.30 and brendan will be - he's round the corner.

the park officially closes at 9pm but we can probably escape if we get locked in

is 6 too early for a can and a natter? 6:30?

OK will try to set off from Old St around 7 if the place closes at 9

great fun tonight peeps - nice turnout I thought and some real good games played.

loved it. too short though. Zombie RMY need a revenge match.

maybee nxt week

yes it was great props to rmy for trekking the wild spins to get here.

i had a great time, i reckon let them shut us in next time.

brilliant games if a little short...
thanks for all the Eastenger for crossing the river.

Bike Snob today:
In New York City, bike polo is played in a Chinatown playground, which has resulted in exchanges like the following in many of the local homes:

*Mom: Hi, son. What are you doing home so soon? You finished all your homework so I said you could go play with your friends.

Son: Yes, but when we got there a bunch of big kids was already there. They said we couldn’t play because they were there first.

Mom: Big kids? How old were they?

Son: I’d say mid-20s to early 30s. They were playing hockey on their bicycles.

Mom: Those don’t sound like kids to me. You should have told them the playground is for children.

Son: We did, and they said they’d be done around 10 or 11 and we could play after that. We explained that was past our bedtime, and they said too bad, they all had graphic design jobs to get to the next morning too. But they did say if we got there at the same time tomorrow we could do “odds-evens” for it. They also said we could play if we wanted, but it looked really stupid.*

^ ha! His definition of 'bike culture' is pretty hilarious too..

thats spot on...Brendon scared off a load of kids with his Terminator impression.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

a certain carpark in peckham?

no aidan it was my obi1 impression

quite appropriate lyrics in the 2nd verse!

"I'm giving you
On count of three
To show your stuff
Or let it be . . .
I'm telling you
Just watch your mouth
I know your game
What you're about"

:-)

ha!

We'll have to get pompoms for Team BAD! and get that little girl to sit on sarah's shoulder and mimic her screams

was good to see everyone and fall off again last night x

gotta get myself a leather glove.

Don't you mean a white sequin glove?

I'm glad we came down. It was good playing on a fresh court with new people.

Team BAD obviously had the home-court advantage! Can't believe you beat us 6-1...
