Tourney: Oxford Thingy - 09.05.09

out > take the 10:21 am train (arrives 11:19)
back > 8:31pm train (arrives back in london at 9:28)

£4 each way!

Booking this, except the 9:21 departure instead.

One of the journeys is 6 quid, rather than 4. shrug

ok have booked tickets for myself, hops, and aidan. We're on the 8:21am train as the 9:21 was full.

I have a spare ticket (there and back) if anyone want's it... cost you £8

We're on that same train (me & B). Might have to take laundry bags again!

I'll grab it off you if you don't mind.

Hmm, the outward we got (9:21) was 6 quid. Maybe 'cause we were last(ish) booking. Anyway, one hour more sleep is worth 2 quid :P

Everyone on the same return?

Doh, sorry - just been told first dibs for the ticket go to Ali

Yep, bags are definitely recommended

No worries DT, I'll sort myself out later today.

I'm trying to find a way to get Los Conos to this. If anyone is driving, please let me know, if not we'll try and get Jo's bike from E3 to Paddington (train will be no problem).

If we really can't work it out, I need two team mates!

Emilie, don't buy a ticket just yet, i'll work it out tonight :)

Em, Gabes and me will need ticket too, and possible Paula is coming too, so we can take the 4 person discount

Gonna look into this I'll of course be up for it.

I'm in. Will sort tickets when I get a moment...

There is talk of some Mancunians making it, working out who wants to come

ok the poster and map with events link are here.
The poster says 11 to 6 but ignore that,
the decided tourney time was 12 to whenever.

alright woody. i'll be going on saturday 9th but if there's 3/6/9 other people who are actually half-decent going, you can leave me out of teams. i'll come anyway because it's been too long since i last went to oxford. and there's an alleycat and some grass polo throw-ins on the sunday. BOOM

this is Si just to clear that up!

Zoo, as I'll be prob taking an easy day that day, I'm more than willing to be collection boy to guide people to the court if that makes it easier for you?

and work is stopping me make it tonight as well, which is beginning to piss me off.

Hey its a real shame you cant make it down this eve either.

Thanks for offering to collect people and that on day
I'm sure we will take you up on that.

I take it those bars/stem fitted the new bike ok

Harry may be able to take Jo's bike. Get in touch with him.

Cheers Horatio, i've messaged Harry so i'll keep my fingers crossed.

ok surface update
spent a few hours after work chasing a ball around at court as polo practice was canceled
and you get a few shallow puddles this is going to be annoying for some shots if it rains
(had not noticed this before as had never played there in the rain with light ball)

having said that this is still my favorite place to play in Oxford

don't worry zoe we could clear the worst of it with a big brush! It's actually a pretty good surface. Better than that car park anyway...

I'm not worried.

I'm just informing people that if it rains that ball is gonna stick a bit in the puddles
unless your gonna be standing mid court sweeping the rain away

I would like to come to this.
Same day round trip to London.
If anyone if arranging a group save then please count me in.
