Newcastle Polo

Bit later

Hi folks, if you're interested in sending a team for the Sheffield NS tourney, we've a looming deadline. We'll finalise who we can give housing to on Tuesday, so if you don't fancy camping and want to enter the Great Sheffield Floorspace Sweepstake, please make sure you let us know by the end of Monday.
Also, Horatio is looking into the scheduling side of things once he gets back from Barcelona - whilst we can accommodate latecomers, it would be useful to know if anyone else wants to enter ASAP.

We can absolutely guarantee* fantastic weather, lots of polo, amazing prizes and the chance to purchase one of our blooming marvellous t-shirts!

Hope to see you there!

(*as long as the sun shines, our sponsor comes through for us and Matt gets the artwork to the printers in time).

Awesome polobikes. I think i prefer the one with the couplers, the rear triangle seems tighter, but not sure about the over-complicated sliding dropout thingy. Neither bike's seat-tube follows the shape of the rear wheel particularly well either.....?
Still, awesome bikes

lovely bike with the swallow.
polo this evening at all?
6ish if all is well?

in.

ed could you bring the bern helmet down pretty please so i can borrow for sheffield? will pay in £BEER

will see at 7...raining here?

stopped
7ish?

a surprisingly good session! 3 v 3 in the pouring rain with 2 new people in the mix.

a proud moment for newcastle polo methinks

here she is folks :)

rides beautifully!

sheffield was awesome, really good courts, lots of people, good prizes, got hammered with spring break and watched jono try to negotiate with a greek guy as to how many meatballs he could get for £20......hilarious.

I think I got a £1.70 discount, probably an extra quarter of meat ball, not too impressive, but look after the quarter meat balls and the meat balls will look after themselves.
