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

i'm not at home otherwise i could get hold of one, anyone near decathlon, i hear that they sell them, just see what you can find

i am there later for sure, not til after eight tho as have to be online to win ebay auction for bolo bike frame ;)
skoota - there will be cutting, oh yes
ratboy - will bring the 16t cog along

i may have a tennis ball back at my gaff. if i do that will be coming with me.

see ya later guys

i might bring a medicine ball too

i've seen a video of people playing with a small football, this just seems a little odd to me

btw can people bring any traffic cones they see, it would be a great help, i know they are heavy, but if you see any close to the court we can go and collect them

so keep those eyes peeled

...they're not traffic cones, but there's some plastic block type thingys on on of the lower levels that might do for a bit..

inabit.

traffic cones or these things

but until someone is driving in the middle of the night finds some, steals them and then takes them to the car park we will have to make do.

also a rule from nyc polo site that is relevent
**
-Passing “backward” through the goal (from behind the goal line to in front of it, through the goal, a.k.a. “goal offsides”): When the ball is passed through the goal in this way, a goal CANNOT be scored by the first player to play the ball. Any subsequent player to play the ball may score. If a ball is shot from in front of the goal line and does not go through the goal but bounces off the back wall and comes out through the goal, the ball is in play and can be scored.**

what the hell happened to that bike?

brick lane?

Photos from tonight. I'll have to work out how to use this camera. Like what does ISO mean?

Good night. See you all next week.

Seriously good games tonight!

Lovin the satsuma ball!

Thanks for the mallet again dt.

Oh my knee!

cheers for the tube andy, drop you one back next week. good games guys... p.s. iso is your film speed, the higher it is, the 'faster' the film speed and the more sensitive to light it is. i.e. 100 iso/asa for a sunny day, 800 iso/asa for darkness, but you'll get digital noise (grain) because your pumping artificial light/sensitivity into the chip.
B

ISO is your 'flim' speed, use around 100 for a suny day, the higher the number the faster the film. you want faster for crisp shots in the dark, or of movement or action. personaly i think moveing shots look better with a bit of blur so i use a slightly lower iso then people tell me to shooting action.

not surprising to see that Seb has his foot down in the photos he's in ;)

nice one andy.

and good games all. sorry for only being at about 65%. didn't really deserve the jammie dodgers even.

til next week.

jonny not surprising to see that Seb has his foot down in the photos he's in ;)

whats that supposed to mean jonny, i alwas put my foot down, well yes i do, but so did dave with a little push ;)

adoubletap On the way back from Brick Lane on Sunday through Lewisham I found another SE spot that looks great for dicking around on bikes. The Quaggy Ball Park on Lewisham Road junction with Orchard Hill. Fenced in floodlit at night and open 24 hours. The wavy thing casting a shadow at the bottom of the satellite view is a 50 foot long bench for spectators

I found another Lewisham / Catford court today, looked nice:
