Birmingham Bike Polo (Wednesday nights / Sundays - info in the thread)

(Kind of) venue update - the City Centre Manager from the Council has returned my email. She says she's meeting with a colleague today to discuss the matter, and will get back to me.

I stopped off at the court (Calthorpe) around 4.30 this afternoon - still covered in snow, so I reckon unless it gets massively warmer overnight, polo is a no-no.

Sunday though:

Hope Last Sunday was good, i was on a mission, which required 2 crashes of a couch due to shite weather, if you struggle to walk in it, sod riding in it. I thought i was arriving home Sat but serious Snow put paid to that, where did that come from??

(binned it last tuesday in same conditions, so thought fuck that, off licence, x box, couch!)

I have at le work some more front wheel material for covers which i will transport home Thursday, sorted.

Lucas, if you want some Ali shout out, i can get a grade better, but albeit not 'thor hammer' spec in 6 meter lengths for a tenner, cut in to 1 meter strips..let me know before i break up for chrimbo sir.

p.s

BRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I'm currently torn between Polo or an event i've been wanting to attend for the last 8 months!

I'll wait until Saturday morning, if I make 6 then i'll more than likely come Polo, if you have plenty of players then...have fun!

Dan can you bring my ball too?

Certainly.

Oh. Dan...(re frame building)found a supplier of Ren tubing, dropouts etc a while back, just re-installed winblows so going to have to dig, but also found shizz for frame diagrams etc =)

Cheap as chips Diy...

Cool - I just discovered retrobike.co.uk today, and it's re-ignited my desire to get a retro mountain bike and weld in some track ends.

You cant talk anyway vomit features, good job you had your hair cut actually or you'd of needed someone to hold it back after a slow lap around follow yer dad and the tackeroo

cough cough cough....ok link fail..

Climachx..did not come...you suck=P

I know this is a little bit out there and woah..but would it be possible to set up a weekday (ie daylight) practise once in a while? it might be a logistical nightmare getting at least 6 people in one place at the same time in the week?

I can do(with notice) Monday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday & some Saturday day times, after 10 to avoid driving in rush hour from Cov.

Anyone else got freedays they could play?

Megavalanche Simon.. you fail. i didn't want to take the dog down a slate strewn downhill track 150miles from my trusted vets.

I'll beat you down ANY downhill course.

I'm up for weekday games - I have one day off per week. December is busy, but January we could have a look at it.

I'm definitely up for Sunday.

Woot! Weather is looking promising too: 7 degrees and sunny on Saturday, so we could even have a dry court. Ohmygodohmygodohmygod....

Come on old-hands, get your names down. Dan_LJ? Hyper? Malletesta?

Unfortunatley, I work this weekend. Busy season for the mall. No polo = :(

I hope so..getting a bit peeved with this ice now...whats big, yellow and sleeps 3 in comfort? a gritting wagon, grrr!

(Simps..any course? I'll borrow my mates rig...poor choice of words with 'any'..;-)

Mega Avalanche fail, pah, you did not even qualify...=P p.s Dyfi Enduro= Fail!! heh heh =) )

What we really want is Titanium poles is it not....I did say i would have a word about it.
I'll pop and see him tomorrow ...

Ti poles, nice and thin so as light as a ski-pole (150g sounds about right?). If you can get them, you could easily re-sell to London, Cambridge, Manchester, etc. I'd estimate a total of at least 30 people would buy, if they're less than £15 each... Something to think about, anyway.

Not out to make a buck, just to sort Brum out..cba with all the hassle.. =)
