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

Having to work this sunday unfortunately, hope wednesdays are back on soon!

hope wednesdays are back on soon!

Well, if I'm not being lied to (which I probably am!) then Wednesday 18th could be go-time. I just got this e-mail from Vicki at Hall Green District Office:

"I have been informed that three of the lights are being done this week so we should at least have three up and running by Friday. The others will take longer as major repairs are needed but I will keep chasing until its done."

Hopefully it's 3 that are evenly spaced out!

Good work Kat!

Although I'd be suprised if the 'easy fix' ones weren't the three that lit up exactly 50% of the court before they all went out.

I wonder if three means three complete lights or three bulbs. If I remember rightly the lights have four bulbs each no?

Oh now everyone's a fucking expert!!!! Let me have the promise of this one extremely minor victory before I move on to the next battle!

Great work Kat. Let's meet at the Leb bakery at 19:30 on weds just in case they are not on. I remember that the lights were not coming on until 19:45 but that might have been before the clocks went back (it's been so long!).

tonight? or next week?

Next wednesday obvs.

Can't play this weekend.

My colleagues expressed an interest in having a go one Sunday - shall I suggest Jan 12th? About six people said they want to give it a go, but I imagine that will drop dramatically.

So... Sunday 15th? Highgate

Great work Kat. Let's meet at the Leb bakery at 19:30 on weds just in case they are not on. I remember that the lights were not coming on until 19:45 but that might have been before the clocks went back (it's been so long!).

Update- I just had this e-mail from Vicki (I've also asked whether the lights will be on from 7pm-10pm): "I have been chasing all week & they now say they are will be there 8am on Monday 16th Dec, I have got the site manager to be there & he is going to let me know if they don’t turn up & I will jump on them on Monday morning. Again thank you for your patients I know it’s been such a long wait." So fingers crossed!

Again thank you for your patients

Sums things up nicely.

Can you bring that Mac OS disc Nainesh?

I have about 4-6 people interested in trying polo on Jan 12th - it would be great if people can bring any spare mallets they have so everyone can have their own to make shuffling easier.

Drinks at the Spotted Dog afterwards if people are interested.

I'll do a proper list closer to the time - just wanted to give a heads up for The Influx of the Newbs.

Nice work Dan.

Would it be worth trying to advertise it as a general beginners' day? The last time we did that we didn't get very high take up, but we did get Viki to join, making it worthwhile in my mind.

Yeah will do Neil.

What time are we starting 10 or 11?

I can make 10 tomorrow (I say now cause it`s still early evening.......and just about to go out ;-).

Do you know guys whether the Hare and Hounds is still doing that Bike Lounge? Cause I think it would be good to go there as that was the event where I met Mya and she got me into Bike Polo :-) Maybe itd be a goodadvert. And of course share it on FB if someone could do anevent` on it or something. What you think?

And well done Kat! Great job! ;-)

I think the legend that is Gary Fisher will be at the next bike lounge....next wednesday?
