Come back here find out more. I'll be updating the first post for more info etc.

too many in-jokes.

ok. i'm there.

Yeh, what's this chestrel thing? Kind of off putting for a newbie.

Not if Ray posts another one of his hot chestril pics.

For those that don;t know, it's in N1, De Beauvoir.

That's three spellings of chestrul, four spellings of chestral now.
I think Ray's chest may attract the wrong sort of crowd.

It'll attract all the cool kids who are into chestryls (5), old pervs, and hopefully new poloengers.

lazy google Image search...that is actually an American Red-tailed hawk....

The bird in it's talons is a kestrel...an American kestrel.

sorry. was it a good turn out?

no it bombed... no we had 2 new players they both scored... julia now has the mallet i had ready for you, but i can rustle up another! Come play.

Hey, that's not bad - we hardly advertised it! The flyers are in now, 1000 of the beauties ready to go out with the dates of the next ones. We'll have many, many new polo players just in time for the new league in September.

At least start a thread with a decent title actually based around the subject in hand.

You and your funny ideas, Todd.

Can we have a poll to decide what title to use for the new thread?

We could have a few polls.

We could have a few poles.

Racist!

hahaha
