Cambridge Polo

good luck in Bristol!!!!

We (Thor) have won 2 drawn 1 lost 1 . Beat cream and emo's team ha ha ha !!!!

So, 24 hour single player polo tournament.

I've been reading up a bit on how they did it in the US, and I've got a fairly good idea how it works now.

I spoke to Harvey about it a few weeks ago, so the only question is if you guys still want to do it.

I'm happy to sort out the scheduling etc, and happy to organise what I can. obviously I'd need you guys to do the on site stuff.

The basic idea would be Saturday -> Sunday, start early afternoon on the Saturday, finish same time Sunday. giving everyone plenty of time to get there, and get back the next day.

You have a big pile of mallets, and two games are sorted out of that at any time (the game on court, and the next game). Other than that it's just luck of the draw. At busy times you will get less games, in the early hours you can probably play as much as you want.

We can also allow for a set game (specific players, such as teams) every hour or so, in exchange for people sitting out of the throwin pile for a while.

People get the goals scored in their games as their points total. So if the games finish 5-2, 3 players get 5 points, the other 3 players get 2 points. At the end of the tournament the player with the most points wins.

You guys don't have heating in the warehouse do you? So maybe not do it in the middle of winter, but either late autumn or early spring.

You wouldn't have to worry about housing (for fairly obvious reasons), but it would be good if we have some mattresses or something in quiet rooms, I guess the two small rooms off court. I assume we could use the roller derby mattresses for that.

Apart from that we'd just have to work out what your costs would be for electricity etc, and work out an entry fee.

What do you think?

Who playing tomorrow then?

John, that sounds good - we need to discuss it properly and we can raise it at our little polo meeting on Sunday. Will get back to you after that if ok?

Should be down tomorrow night too. Luca, that frame makes no sense, super bent seat tube with massive clearances! Kerazy!

"B" gussets at all sensitive areas

hahaha

Hello Cambridge.

I have a weekend off around the BFF and want to get some polo in. Do you guys play on Saturdays? I was thinking of driving over for the day.

Also, if anyone wants to form a team for the BFF tourney, I'd be up for playing. I PM'd types but he's obviously moved on to bigger and better things...

Dan from Birmingham

hey dan, the best day to come would be a sunday. i doubt we would get 6 on a random saturday. also bogey i think at the moment is free for BFF. give him a PM. (i am playing with josh and lee)

Here's the video that was shot in the warehouse- did you get the keys back from them? I'm in Austria..... yeah.......

Yep , I thought they had mine but they seemed to be Bogeys . We are changing locks this Sunday due to mystery scatological freebasing intruders

Us ladies (Jo + Ali LC) are now cambridge residents! Throw ins at the weekend?

Quality or quantity?

We normally play till ABout 5ish, but sunday is looking bad for polo. most people seem to be off doing other things. Tuesday and thursday normally have a good turnout or next sunday.

Talking of which, i am going to london sunday to pick up a frame and going to play polo there. anyone who fancies a polo day out, I am thinking of getting the 10.15 then cycling over to downs.

Tuesday it is then... Thought Sundays were all-dayers for you lot. Is morale low or summat?
