Tournament Organisation!

Would like to say Devon your my hero and thankyou
for going out your way to do our bike thrills posters they look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

I got some more prizes today and got the posters out, Billys came through for £200
worth of stuff, Howes gave us a computer and so did Ben Haywards worth £44 each
and our very on Rick is giving 3 £40 vouchers and t-shrits and Mr Fox with mallet heads
and i got 2 t-shrits too,

Niiiiiiice!

nice one for that jimbo !!!!!!!!

I have done 80 spokes cards, and we are 20 teams + friends
should I do some more or do you think we have enough?

whipped up two sets of numbers if they are any use ( and im not far too late! )

Not sure how to fix/hang them mind you, can easily drill some holes, and bring them on thursday

Awesome work jim! :)

Just had a nice phone call from Phillipa from the pavillion to confirm what they are doing, they will open the cafe at 11 and close at 3. They will serve bacon butties, tea, coffee, soft drinks and squash.

I did ask if they could provide a vegetarian option, and they said they couldn't really do anything veggie, so it looks like you lot will have to get your grub from waitrose etc

Also, the bogs and changing rooms will be open from 930.

an honour to be a guest in Crack Towers

i reckon from midday onwards at Barnwell court , 80 spokecards will be plenty cheers Rik

Tonight i'm going to be going to the pre 70 banger racing at Mildenhall track .
Have a look

It is a traditional yearly event of carnage of ancient vehicular destuction . May be muddy £12 entrance , Will is our guide being a retired "vet " banger man ( also its a few days after his Buffday ) . Any poloers interested in coming along ? A great way to get in the zone before a tournament .

Oh and Reliant Robins "world" Quarter finals toooooooooo

i should be going tonight shold be picking will and andy up !!!!

i like this this thread... :)
should we start to think about tourneys and such like seeing as our wicked indoor court has only but a few months left of use before travelodgilation?
as i said before in polo thread, i'm happy to do a bit of organising. i'm well up for getting invites out for a standard 3 per side tourney when the grief (bench minor) masters are going down. i need some help with a flyer design, but want to make it happen! it's only a few weeks away now, best time to hit polo peeps with it! what say ye?

i agree, we need to inform people so they can keep the date free etc..

Need to sort out lighting , goals , and a few other things first

i need some help with a flyer design, but want to make it happen!

Fire me some ideas and text and ill see what I can do!
Will need some web presence for it really tho, facebook event?

Let me know if you need any Graphic Design work done. I'll also be happy to contact potential sponsors etc.

i'm still up for getting the groundwork done for a tourney, means less to do later on i guess. I'm only thinking currently about pencilling in some dates and making up some flyers, etc. Won't make it official until the court is perfect.

as always i'm up for helping out with court work if i can. lee's on the goals? we're gonna use Angelos big ladder to retrieve the three sodium lights but he doesn't know how to get the ladder there? plus, painting the court. any thing else the untrained can be doing? i could bring a mop and bucket down...

tom, i'll have a think today and PM you some ideas! facebook is worth doing, but posting in the various polo forums seems to have more effect and reaches the same if not more people.

matt, i remember you saying you've already got a good sponsor list going, maybe worth hitting them up with some feelers right about now see what they can do for a tourney provisionally in early/mid February.

Cool , i am being overly cautious . I'll try and sort out a digital scoreboard .
Maybe a meeting ?

i'm probably a bit too excited to be fair! :)
digi scoreboard looks great, i've asked an electrician if there's anything he can do (plus asked if he has spare sodium lights). he owes me a fair bit so i'm banking on something to happen.
polo meetings are always good! perhaps a tête à tête on the sofa?

Step One – Clean the floor.

lee's on the goals? Built and ready, I hear Lee has done a shit-hot job on them, can't wait to see em!

we're gonna use Angelos big ladder to retrieve the three sodium lights Done, lights retrieved, thanks Ninja and Angelo!

painting the court. three quarters there!

clean the court happy to bring my mop and bucket down, the more the merrier so bring yours on sunday! issue with water though? i might put my sweet talking hat on and ask mackays see if they can help!

I don't mind doing this at all, early Feb is probably a bit soon realistically for a good number of replies. I really think we should set a date and have an estimate of numbers before we approach anyone. We can talk more about this, I'd rather discuss it properly than on the forum. Perhaps Saturday or even Sunday before or after polo we can sit down for 30 minutes and have a chat. I think all of the kinks should be ironed out of the court before we do any of this also.

In fact, not wanting to be too secret squirrel, I think we should discuss the majority of this in person rather than on a forum, to save people just picking up odd bits and pieces.
