Cambridge Polo

i miss polo-feels like i haven't played in months! I saw Devon in Copenhagen yesterday- he's back on december 19th for a couple of weeks

How was Devon ? Polo misses you too

what time for polo tomorrow?
went by the court just now and seems perfect and ready for a full day of polo tomorrow!
down for 12?

yes! i have football in the morning so i'll be down for 1ish. will be on my old bike as my new one doesnt have any brakes at the moment.

i will be down maybe 1 ish

Leaving in 10, I would predict a 12.25 arrival.

Today was god damn amazing.

Hayden suggested we held a 24 hour polo tournament in the new warehouse, sounds like great fun to me!

I know of a format for a 24h polo tournament, I hear about it at the wolds this summer.It has only been played once before , in Seattle.
You enter the tournament has an individual, not as a team. them you just play normal throwins, but after every one, you get the point of the score of your "team", at the end of the 24h the player with more points won.
For example, if Harvey, Gabe and Chan play a throwin against, Todd, Luca and Rich Bristol, and they finish 3-5, Harvey, Gabe and Chan, all of them get 3 points, and Todd, Luca and Rich Bristol, all of them get 5 points.
only problem with this is format is not to have to many players, or to have enought courts. I magine to have 60 players for only 1 court, you would play every 2h.... no way.
24 players per court and games time to 15min, and you would play 1 per hour, of course this is only the first few hours... after 8 hours of polo only a small bunch of players will keep playing

/\ like that very much!
any progress with the slaymaker?

barnwell update - someone has hired the flood lights and the indoor hall til 730, and the court lady says that they will be using both, but possibly not the court up til that time. she said specifically don't use the court even if no one is on it til our slot of 730, bah humbug!

Ok that's fine... At 7:30 sharp we will be waiting with cones and mallets (turns out I can make tonight after all) – Wrap up warm kids, it's –4 out even now.

Does anyone have a spoke key and would be willing to give me a crash course on un–fucking a rear wheel?

Endurance polo... I'm so down. 24hr polo would be incredible. Sleeping bags at the court and a shit load of Tiger Balm.

yes and yes, i'll be down at 7pm

If you take it down to BA before they close they'll be able to tell you what you need or at least tell you what size you need to buy and then could maybe try Mackay's?

hmm maybe.. i'd have to ride it brakeless.. i'll go down there anyways..

just had a look, found one bolt that fits but no nut so if anyone can find a small 5mm bolt could they bring it please and bogey could you bring that funky star nut spanner thingy.

thanks

Hey ! a great nite of minus 5 throw ins . New Team (electic cream) line up looking really sharp !!!!!

I had a really great evening. This evening and Sunday has been super speedy, it's good fun. I guess it's cause we all need to keep warm. I love how everyone is now sporting matching holes in their wheel covers. Group buy of Correx soon?

sorry i forgot to pay for subs last night but awsome polo last night even though it was -3

Hi everyone good news i just got an e-mail from Andy and he gave us the green light on the warehouse . The only thing is he wants us to sort out some kind of insurance . This will be a bit of a headache as Feb went through all this will the rollergirls a few months ago basically there is NO way anyone will insure us . Unless you know different ?
