West London Bike Polo

wheres the venue?

i will suture you guys back together when you break!!!

wheres the venue?

Along the thames between Fulham football club and Hammersmith Bridge. See 1st post! :-)

Bump-bumpity! Looks like we might be able to get a rain free window after 6pm so we could be on.

Anyone else want to rock up to play, laugh hysterically or preferably make runs to the off-license?

Provenrad - do we have enough mallets to go with our West London Thunderdome mullets? (see earlier posts)

3.5 mallets.. could be 4 by tonight.
Wheres the rest of the players?
EDIT - I viisited the court one evening - looks like the lights come on at night :-)

Can't do this week due to work commitments.
I'll be there next week.

@ Anthony - can you edit the title of the thread please?
'West London Polo - 7pm, Dorset Wharf riverside, Rainville Road, W6'

Can I buy a hockey ball at any place like JJB Sports etc?
Will look for one this lunchtime if Its dry..
@object - Wage-Slave!

Let me know how you get on with finding a hockey ball - I too can go shopping

everyone is going shopping....would love to come ... but may be next week...:(

Off topic - how did things go on Friday? Good?

After reading on the East polo thread about flooding - I have a horrible suspicion that we could be visiting a swimming pool Aroogah.
Some others (Cornelius, Jonny, Sir Crash) mentioned coming down tonight, but I think the best thing to do is cancel.
(Please dont tell me to HTFU - I rode 11 miles this morning!)
On my way home I'll check out the drainage status, but next week we shall start better prepared, in greater numbers, and hungrier than ever - Grrrr!

S'all good. I was thinking about drainage issue myself so the cancel is probably a good call.

We can discuss further at Westie drinks this week.

Next week is good.

Bumping this up again...
Weather is looking good too!

I'm not going to make it :[

I'll drop down with 3 mallets. Does anybody have a ball?

so Mike you're gonna RIDE to there on a polo bike?
I used to live not far and it was a good 25 minutes to old street on a normal gear..

No, brought mallets to work. Will be on my condor, should be interesting...

This is supposed to be happening today, right?

I certainly hope so.

Provenrad - what time are we meeting at the West London Thunderdome?

Hey Chris - et al! sorry I can't make this - I apparently need to go to A+E because my semi-collapsed lung is not sorting itself out. The doctor yesterday said it should be ok - but if it's not getting better (getting worse) then I need to get an X-ray. Bloody body letting me down!

I'm sorry y'all it's such a nice day for it - + trampsparadise was kind enough to offer a few mallets etc. for tonight.

after reading the replies above - I am gonna quickly leave the 3 mallets I have at a secret local location. Aroogah - you can grab them perhaps? call me for details.. need a ball too!
Peace + luv.

Provenrad - dude - semi-collapsed lung?!!!

Trampsparadise and I were the only ones who showed up but we had a lovely chat about growing up down South, exes, and where to get good Mexican food in London.

PM me today if you need me to grab the mallets, I can get them on the way home.

@Trampsparadise - These are the guys at Mortlake station http://www.mexifresh.co.uk/home.html
Let me know if you want my carnitas recipe.

I would have come along since I live next door to Charing Cross Hospital... stuck revising :(

I'll pop down next week if anyone is there, as I will have finished exams (woohoo!)
