roll on summer... Carpark polo session this coming Thursday anyone?

I had dinner with the first and third people in that vid in Tuscany this summer.

Hey Sparky, PuP, etc.

Did you know that there are 3-4 guys that have a Polo knockabout on the flood lit court at Sloughbottom Park on Drayton Road every Tuesday evening from 7pm onwards. I was chatting with them last week and they would always welcome a few more participants.

P.S. I have some 75mm ø blue plastic water mains pipe for making a few mallet heads on it's way to me via Norwich Freegle.

Yeah, know them. Supplied them with the pipe for the mallets. Took Matt out on his first ever game in the summer. Was good!

Also 75 is a bit big. I always go for 63mm Gas or Water pipe. Its made from MDPE. Really like the black stuff but can't seem to find it. Jack and I went and got about 4 x 6ft lengths and a little length. Should have seen me biking down Norwich back streets with all that and a handsaw poking out of a messenger bag... Ducking the po po!

hahaha yeah Mark, a good night!

They all seem to be using freewheel - is that now common for polo?

A lot of people are free wheeling, with a front and rear brake hooked up to one lever these days. This is an evolving sport.

in other words wimping out!
man up, go fixed and brakless! haha

Just thinking - I've got a rear double fixed aerotrack on order from CRC. If I was going to use it for polo too it'd prob make sence to get the fixed/freewheel version eh?

But then, I don't really want to run a rear brake. :/

Polo tonight? In a bit? Sloughbottom Park? Call me, or see you there about 7. There's mallets so you don't need one.

Yeah prople should def get involved. These are solid guys. Only ever played with Trumpet before but the other guys are sorted. Get into it. Tuesdays. Sloughbottom. 6:30-7:00pm kick off normally.

played tonight, lots-o-fun.

I think tuesday is the new wednesday night!

I set out to join you guys playing Polo last night, I've just converted an old MTB to SS as a Polo hack, but I got side tracked on the way down by a call from my friend who had lost her dog .... ... spent 2 hours in the cold and dark up on Mousehold only to find the mutt had made it's own way home and was waiting on the doorstep.

Who's out tomorrow night?

Who's out tomorrow night?

ME!
[B][/B]
I assume Sloughbottom Park 7ish?

I think that's the plan, aye. I'm popping round to Matt's about 6pm and heading over from there.

Sounds good. Will get Gem and the boys sorted then work out how much time ive got.

Cheers for the heads up. Looks like Tuesdays the new Wednesday... Rename the thread?

Yeah, I reckon that makes sense

Done. Welcome to the Tuesday Night = Norwich Hardcourt Bike Polo thread.

Cool, you coming?

Sorry guys, Migraine cut my evening short...how did you all get on?

Yeah was a good bash. Shit that you didnt make it buddy.

Got some snaps using the HISTAMATIC app on the iPhone.
See them on my Flickr.

Hey guys,

Is polo a regular thing in Norwich? My folks live up here, if I'm up here again I'd love to come and play. We also play in Cambridge Tuesday nights and all day Sunday, if you're up for it come visit!
