Regular Bike Polo Night Wed - from 6pm

This week meet at:
On Your Bike
33-40 Bradford Street
B5 6HX

I've got mallets and balls noobs and pros (ha!) welcome.
If people could suggest good places they know i.e b-ball courts and car parks. Maybe try here.
If people want my number just 'pm' me.

yes yes yes! i'm there, and not just because of the excellent choice of meeting location.

there's also this place: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=52.466216,-1.889914&t=h&sll=10.695724,-99.293868&sspn=89.230527,219.342447&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=52.466514,-1.889005&spn=0.003379,0.009645&z=17

although there are sometimes ruffians hanging around at that time...

Also, if anyone knows where you can get cheap ABS piping that's has a diameter of +60mm please let me know.
If you see any construction sites that have some, also let me know.

I'm going to make more mallets and sell them on at cost price, so people can play whenever/wherever they please.

Best balls are street hockey balls similar to these.

anyone coming? i'm well up for it even if the weather is patchy, but it's apparently going to dry up in the evening (believe it when i see it).

Hi BFGSS peeps

I suggest Kings Heath as a venue for this and similar events...

• KH community centre car park has a pitch already marked out, Heathfield Road
  
• 2 car parks next to LIDL in Silver Street
  
• Car Park next to Iceland in Institute Road
  
• Refreshments at Hare and Hounds or refuge if it rains
  
• Lots of Sheffield stands
  
• No ruffians
  
• 10 minute ride to train at Stirchley (Bournville) for Blowie Ben to get home
  
  
  

Also could someone set up a group and/or post events on http://www.birminghamcyclist.com?

cheers

I might not make it, ive missed work for a couple days now - I dont want to get fired again.

this was mucho funos!

awesome location, and it was the first time i didnt fall over. figured out which hand to play with and got my groove on....

yeah, i agree. although there was only 4(.5) of us, it was cool. perfect location except for the over-large goals, but i still managed to miss a fair few sitters!

if anyone's interested, i'm tempted to go and watch a day of the European Polo Championships 1/2nd August in London. train down, cruise around town, watch polo?

anyone?

Dan, I'm headed down there and bring your mallet I'm sure we could hussle for a game.

Wanted - Ski poles.
It's the summer what you going to need em for anyway? What with climate change there wont be any snow in a few years.
Bike Polo 4 Life y'all.

Just so people have enough notice...

BIKE POLO EVERY WED
MEET 6:00-6:10 AT ON YOUR BIKE
**OR AT THE CALTHORPE PARK COURT 6:20

where did you play last night? same place as above?

yes, 'twas excellent. nice and spacious enough on the court. at least it was with only four of us on there...

allah, when are you heading down to the smoke? that's when my 2 week summer holiday starts so it might make a nice beginning to spend a few days in london.

Cheers guys for the game, look forward to next week. Recovered from the knocks and bruises, mainly due to self imposed accidents. Did you have some photos Fin? I was down a man during the game. How many do you think we can fit on the court without multiple pile ups?

If someone from here outbid me on t'bay for some ski poles, im gone smack yo sorry ass!

Photos ain't great but i'll try to upload the vid

i'll see if i can come on wed to lick off some shots. how long do you play for?

Segway polo? Ffs

Not able to make tonights, will aim for next weeks though, if on.

did anyone make it last night? i was writhing in pain with a dicky back, so couldn't come. next time?

Yeah we had a knock about, even got some local kids to play.

Next week if people want picking up from OYB leave a message otherwise we're heading down to the court for 6:20-6:30.
