Brighton Hard Court Bike Polo - Official Thread

How about just organising a 'taster' session that we can all attend and help out at. As the warden suggested, we could put posters up around the courts/park to advertise it. If it's popular we could do another one in a month or so. We'd need the loaners and mallets first though.

There's also PrestFest at the end of August which would be a good opportunity to 'showcase' polo on the courts. Maybe organise a small invitational tournament? We'd need to contact the Friends of Preston Park about this.

Personally, I'm not keen on sacrificing 50% of my weekly polo to be honest.

This sounds bang on. I don't think there will be any need to sacrifice much of the time, i doubt uptake will be that big straight away, and if it is then we deal with it as need be

As for logo I have a graphic guy working on a logo for Brighton Polo in general based on American baseball team logos. Similar to the Miami Pelicans or Cardinals. Basically mean looking seagul, ball mallets and the words 'Brighton Hardcourt Bike Polo'. I chased him on it this week so hopefully some designs by Friday. Basically the idea is its something with a strong design that can be replicated on a small and large scale, block colours and whicked fontz

I'm not pretending this will be THE logo just someone I know who was keen to do the work. If you like it, fine, if not thats fine too but I might still get it printed on a wheel cover or something

coincidentally....

Robbie has been complaining about the Bristol polo scene stagnating.

Perfect, just roll with it for now, make some t-shrits maybe to try and get some funds? and then if someones thinks of a better logo go with that later!
I would like wicked logo on a disc wheel!

try vistaprint you can get 250 business cards for free just the postage also car door magnets they also do 100 postcards for free

anyone got a frame for sale that will fit 27" wheels as the frame i was going to build up has a crack on bb shell .as cheap as poss please so i can start learning to play when my foot repairs itself

Beginners' Session is a wicked idea, time to crush some n00bs!

Had a look on that Vistaprint, looks quite good, can get 250 business cards for free, just pay £3.15 for postage. Can pay a bit more and not have a shitty design on them. I don't mind paying for some, We need something to write on it though. I put a short-url link to this thread, is there a better site that isnt full of banall chatter? Also does someone want to volunteer their mobile number to go on it?

count me in for newbie stuff i goto start somewhere

I don't mind my number going on the cards. 07nineeight0eight70one3two. Self employment means I can answer most of the time. Also the brightonpolo@gmail address would be good on there. Happy to chip in for better cards if required.

I spoke to someone re PrestFest today. She seemed pretty excited about the polo idea. It's on 27th August. I'm going to send an email to the relevant 'sports' person tonight with an initial pitch. we won't be committed. Hopefully somebody will come down and have a word when we're all together.

brighton.polo@gmail.com & brightonpolo.tumblr.com. There's a better address/domain for the tumblr page but I can't remember it...

Cant :( still working and bike still in the shop and therefore in tiny pieces. Hopefully make it sunday with sweet new hub gear and bad ass attitude

Rich has sorted me out with his old wheel so I'm good to roll on sunday.

Sorry for being grumpy.

Still en londres working. missing polo.

Miss you Joe! Come back soon!

Seb - is it suitably hefty for polo? spoke count?

its fine with wheel covers 32 sokes

Today I was reminded that I'm no kind of mechanic. Only had to sort my freehub body out but managed to make my whole bike unrideable. I'm seeking Liam's expert help so hopefully I can play tomorrow.

Hot & sweaty...just how I like it! 1 o clock?

Have you fixed it, Dice?
