Brighton Hard Court Bike Polo - Official Thread

Does your friend know that you won't pass to him during a game?

Do we know for definite that the court is going to be available and the lights are going to be on?? I'm going to try to bunk off work early to get there for as near to 5 as possible. Will be disappointed if we're only able to get an hour in.

Does your friend know that you won't pass to him during a game?

i warned him.

Valid point Kaos. Who's actually seen the floodlights with their own eyes!?

we'll see them when we get there i guess seeing as meetings only 40 minutes away.

someone should take pliers incase we need to open up lampposts/control boxes

Meh! I am however able to confirm that the floodlights at the Lewes Road court definitely work. They light that foootball up really well. So not a complete and utter waste of time....

Well that's good to know, hopefully we'll get a game there sometime soon! Shame polo was a washout, again.
but... did you see my silky skills with that football! corr blimey

You've obviously missed your calling Danny!

Due to a suggestion by Tim I've gone and made a goddamn tumblr page for Brighton Polo, ain't I? You can see it at brightonpolo.tumblr.com

There's not much on there at present but the login details are available to anyone that feels like posting. Match/Sunday reports, photos, musings, links to hawt fixies and trashtalk all welcome!

Nice, Dice. Good idea. Despite always having a camera at hand, I've been a bit lazy with the Polo snaps. I will endeavour to rectify this situation at the weekend and post 'em asap. (It's bound to rain now!) In the meantime, surely someone's got some half decent pics that could get the ball rolling?? Also, a mate of mine has expressed an interest in coming down to check out what this here polo lark's all about. Hopefully another potential member for the Brighton girl's polo squad.

That's great news Chris, fresh blood is badly needed!

I wondered what that little bag you always hung up was, I thought maybe it was a pocket defibrillator to restart you in the event of an accident. Get your lens out and take some pics!

It's wet but it's not raining so I'm defo up for playing. Got to get my bike working first though! Me and Julian should be at Cranks about 12 for mechanicals, come down if you are about. If not, then 1pm on PP courts.

Clouds are getting darker. They are over this way anyway...

Polopolopolopolo!

It's on. PP courts 1pm, despite the wetness.

Apologies for being so grumpy and shit at polo today.

I blame depleted serotonin levels.

I will perk up before next week, I promise.

Could you sort that kink out in your mallet too?

Half a dozen snaps from yesterday on brightonpolo.tumblr.com. I'll put a few more up when I finish the roll of film in the Yashica.

Good on you Chris, you're not a bad photographer mate!

Good to meet you guys on Sunday. All being well I shall be in attendance this weekend.

James

Yeah Chris, those are some nice shots. I always think polo doesn't look half as exciting in side-on shots and the angles you chose have captured the speed and motion really nicely. I look forward to the celluloid shots :)

Woah, thanks for the domain name there Matt! I've updated the page to reflect the more official title.

As Tim mentioned, I'm unemployed and bored so will do most anything to make sure this tourney happens.

Polopolopolo at 1pm TODAY Sunday 20th March on Preston Park Courts!
