meet: 7.30
too dark to play: 7.45
lights come on: 8.10 (guy told me today they're 'on a timer' - maybe they're supposed to come on 45 minutes after sunset...)

is it worth PMing Graham Lennard over at the other forum, he might pull some strings and is a customer at OYB & has asked OYB for a favour or two...

see how we get on in the coming weeks, may ask then.

Find the timer. The estate next to where I grew up had some fuseboxes and timers which controlled the municipal lighting hidden behind some of the houses.

Im pretty sure Ive seen timers in some lamp posts too.

Cheap Surly cog I found on eBay, like the man says, good for polo... I know you guys are probably all freewheeling but anyways.

I have the guys name and number.

an invitation to prank call?

I guess there's no way at all that we would be able to modify the court to stop the ball going out.

an invitation to prank call?

nah - just in case we have to go up the chain and speak to his boss. ludicrous to claim that 'it's for kids you know'. i didn't know there was an age limit!

candle lit polo FTW!

how romantic

when you guys going to get with Unicycle Football?

shockingly poor turnout last week - get on it for tomorrow 8pm Calthorpe Park!!!

Also: nobody has contributed to the blog, only me, dfp and mastershredder have our names down for flyering at freshers week.

Pull your fingers out you lazy cunts!!! (there's a rumour going around that lee may actually play, you'll want to be there for that...)

ha, like the rumours he was alleycatting?

weather looks great tomorrow, nice Autumn evening for playing bmx golf...

rumours just build the legend. he should have his own 'spotted' thread: 20 points for polo, 5 for sportive, 15 for bmx, 10 for messengering, 25 for alleycatting and 1 for backward-circling...

just checked out the website, can we use our usernames from here for the seeding page rather than our actual names? i dont want the world to know my poor polo abilities, ha!

also my polo participation will be even more part time than it is now, due to other commitments

done - you'd be up to 7th now i reckon, if only due to lower participation from the people immediately above!

bASTARDS!

Sadly i have to send my appologies for this week, i'll make sure i get in touch with some magazines and newspapers asap though.

I still haven't sorted my cabling out so I gotta skip polo this week

trying to find an indoor venue for this winter league idea - anyone know how to get in touch with that decoy place? google search isn't helping...
