Tourney: UK Champs Manchester 17-18.04.2010

can't we all just promise not to get hurt?

i know my way around a roll of gaffer tape. Seems to fix most ailments polo related.

Jono is pretty handy with super glue. Apparently the AE man at barcelona was very impressed with his handy work

Yep, he said with a big smile on his face: "Usted es un idiota inglés".

(Then proceeded to pull all my beard hairs out, ouchy.)

Only two games on Saturday. Does anyone from MCR have a croquet set or a Bocce set?

I shoulda brought my boule kit

i was gonna say that, but didn't know how to spell it, so didnt, haha

Are you already up there Toddy? Anyone in London have Boule/Bocce?

who's going up tonizzer?

La Schmoove I think.

Apples.

what time's everyone getting in, enough light for throw-ins?

We'll arrive pretty late I guess. Driving on a friday night will undoubtedly be a right cunt.

Don't be so hard on yourself Gabes

Just found out we could do with an extra Registered First Aider for the weekend, does anyone attending the UK Champs have First Aid training & Certification?

Please guys... does anyone know if anyone coming to the Champs is a Registered first Aider.....?

I can do first aid. Doubt I could provide certificated proof of that.

I would also wager that Bill is likely to at least be capable of claiming to be a first aider, even if he's not qualified.

No idea man.

I'm on the 7:20pm train later with matty boy and the schmoovers.

Leaving from work so no boule. Weighs a ton anyway.

They need someone with a certificate for the insurance, I reckon. Having a bunch of dodgy herbal remedies doesn't count. I know how to do CPR and have some basic & patchy knowledge of how to deal with cycling injuries, but I have not been formally trained in 1st Aid since I was a Scout.

jajajajjajajaja

are you spanish-speakers coming to mcr?

No point bringing the boules if there isn't a big enough patch of gravel! My mum has a set or two, but I can't be arsed to ride up to Bounds Green and back, only to end up in a big argument with Chukker over the rules.

Bocce can be played on grass.

Theres a carpark, but i doubt it is gravelly enough

we're chasing up a red cross member for extra first aid, (we won't need it!) but Bill is right, it's for insurance purposes... i just assumed that out of 100-ish people at least 1 might be a trained first aider
