West London Polo - Westway Sports Centre

Tonight's session is cancelled as the court is flooded, Wests will continue (with hopefully better weather) next Wednesday as normal.

Gah! And the sun has just come out for the 1st time today in SW1. Bah!

If you're in SW1, come to Souths polo tonight instead?

wtf are the pizza champs poppy?

Its a General Forum pizza eating get together

Come south Poots!!

Shame about the flooding, are we at least getting an extra week on the end of the ten weeks to make up?

Work SW1 rather than live...and only just seen this now I'm back home in Tottenham! Bah!

Come south Poots!!

Soon Jess, soon! Need a bit more practise before I start playing with the big kids!

It's a monthly forum meet up like Kevin says...

enough about pizza…

Is wests on tonight? It was flooded last week, right? Theres been a fair bit of rain this week though, has that effected it?

Whats the deallo with drinking beers and stuff in the sports centre?

It's on as normal tonight, I can head over if needed to make up numbers?

What's the deallo with drinking beers and stuff in the sports centre?

The court is outside so it shouldn't be a problem, it's probably best to be discreet.

beers are fine, hasnt been a problem yet. I cant make it for the next 2 weeks as i have exams :(

I'm heading to Souths I think, are the sessions running themselves by now (obviously with Sean at the helm)?

I'm going west tonight, will report back.

Nice one Louis.

small possibility i might drop by as i have to come back to london to vote. Ill be on my road bike though...

Dont worry, there are loaner bikes available there for beginners like yourself

Only 4 down at the moment (inc me and Sean) people have prob been put off by the cancellation last week, be good to have a couple more come down?

Ok, we did get more than 6 beginners (i think all told it was close to ten through the night, including a couple who were just passing) but mostly on wildly inappropriate bikes, so I don't think we played any more than 2 on 2 till about 7.30/8.

For that reason it would be nice to have about three people with polo bikes (that they don't mind beginners trying) come down for the last three weeks or so (I think that's how long is left?).

Louis I couldnt make it tonight as I had been pre-booked weeks ago by my gf for New Order at Brixton Academy tonight, but I will come to all West sessions from now on.

New Order are great.

good post there james, interesting, informative, on the subject and true.
Please post again on other topics

Gladly.

Oh that reminds me, if I'd have know I could have got my friends to keep an eye out for you, about 12 uni friends were at new order too...

I turned it down because Wednesday is for polo ;-p

Also once you've seen John Barnes once...

keep an eye out for me? ? i was easy to spot because even at my age i was still the youngest person in there. I'm not a fan at all but was there to chaperone.

Ok, RBKC are now interested in hosting a tournament at Westway after some feedback from you guys.

I'm happy to hold someone's hand that may be interested in organising it (depending on what they come back with in terms of funding, etc)... any volunteers?

It's about time someone hosted a "Beginner's Tournament" in my opinion (you can only play if you've been paying bike polo for 12 months or less)?
