Yep. Not really bothered about the new place if it's Jesmond sized though.

Hello Newcastle polo. Just a wee update from Melbourne. Been playing pretty regular polo. Court situation is pretty similar to the toon in that there is no decent flood lit court and the weekend court is a little sketchy. There are plans for a league which would mean paying a membership fee so we can rent a really nice venue with flood lights, space to store edging etc. numbers are pretty good. Usually get enough for 3 throw in piles on a Sunday. Quality is also pretty high. There's a nationals happening in Perth in march which I'm hoping to get to as well. So I thought it was about time that I bought a decent polo bike. I was going to wait until I could afford something custom but my hand was forced as I snapped my temporary frame playing on Tuesday night! Got myself a surly 1x1 frame and forks. Middleburn crank set. 50mm race face stem, double pull lever going to front and rear discs. 26" setup with fat frank tyres so I can bounce about. Also went for the double cog at the back so I can cycle home at a decent pace. Playing in a small tourney this weekend. First time out for me with the bike. So far really liking it! Anyway hope you guys are managing to get some polo in through the mental weather. Here's a wee pic of the new machine.
