Polo in the News

L.A has official food?
What would ours be?

Is beer food?

Pistachios. Although many have been on pistachio hunger strikes until Yorgo comes back.

Have you seen the price of pistachios lately?

Playmopolo

Ha, I didn't even notice that.

Is there a London polo media/outreach person on here? (I've tried searching) I've had a request through the Oxford bike polo website for some quotes, and thought someone form London might like to contribute too.

Josh, The current chair of the LHBPA probably, best bet is to email info@lhbpa.org

This may have slipped under the radar--very nice article in the Hackney Gazette, basically an interview with Jono.

It's not on-line and didn't quite fit into my scanner, so there's a separate scan of the headline.

nice little dig at the English there.

It talks of English Horse Polo, how posh that is etc and how that's how its done in England. And then goes on to say that the Danish do it differently, they play it on bikes and on concrete - the rougher way. So perhaps a 'dig' at the English Horse Polo, but not really at the English per say or English Bike Polo. As the guy who's written it makes it sound like in England they play Horse Polo and in Denmark they play bike polo... It's the boring old angle of Horse Polo vs. hardcourt bike polo.

Bike polo is sweet and urban and a bit whacky. We all have beards and tattoos. And it describes the basic rules.
