Ah shame, was hoping to get an hour or so in later.

I guess it would have been a bit sparse with people though...

id be up for a ride sunday if its nice.

i'll put some pics up tonight. ali is no doubt dying to see his illuminous member.

Fire bike's coming back to polo! Yet another new configuration - we'll see how it goes. Very old, disposable front wheel so I'll be crashing more than usual without the wheel worry.

polo!! see you all at the courts 6/half 6

See you there phil !

I feel a strong turnout in the air.

few pics on t' flickr.

just having a read through this:

http://www.ehbpc.org/the-tournament/rules/

"Throwing your mallet is not allowed at any time and will be considered a strong penalty."

hahahahahaha.

"Overly aggressive behavior such as grabbing, pushing, punching with hands, pushing or kicking with feet, and headbutting will be considered a strong penalty."

Good call Phil, been meaning to put a set of rules up for a while. Those look like the most sensible I've seen (apart from mallet throwing - that's just ridiculous). These on the other hand, make for one of the most depressing sports I can think of:

maybe we should mash together our own rules?

God, i got bored after reading the first page !

Looking forward to tomorrow night, hope the weather is ok ! Anyone fancy trying the new courts in jesmond ??

i am also looking forward to polo! unfortunately i have to leave at about 7.30/8 is im going to a gig.

those jesmond courst finished?

apparently so ?!

Yeah, they're finished. Look good - although maybe a bit small. There were people playing football on there the other day - couldn't see any way of booking. Can see people not being mad keen on us dominating the 5 aside courts. Weather not going to be our friend tonight by the looks of it either... bollocks

hmmmmmm, so are we just going to play by ear and can i assume that if its chucking it down we won't be playing ??
