Help with a polo taster day 06/04/10, Tonbridge, Kent

I raised this in the Association meeting yesterday but it was swiftly pushed aside. As such this will be a non-affiliated event. This is an exercise in providing polo to people outside of London because they've asked for our help.

Here's the gist;

I've been contacted by a cycling instructor in Tonbridge who wants to run a polo taster day for some local kids. This is a Council approved and sponsored event.

Rik, will be heading the operation but he's going to need a couple of people who are able to travel to Tonbridge (Kent) on Tuesday 06/04/10. The organisers are prepared to pay for the travel and lunch costs of around 3-4 people.

Additionally we will need some short mallets so could anyone with old short/snapped ski poles please get in contact with wither Rik or myself so that we can arrange collection.

Any help that you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

I should add, the reason I'm appealing for help is because I cannot take the date in question off work.

Did you find out anything else about the event? How old are the kids? Is it just polo, or part of a wider day of promoting cycling?

It's part of a wider day, Bike polo is just one thing they want to feature.

I'm going to call the guy at 13.00 and will hand over Rik's contact details whilst getting as much information as possible.

I have at least 1 pole.

I think I have three smallish mallets. There not great mallets though but I'm sure there be fine. I'm away will be back in London on Friday and poloing most of the wkend probabley.

Perfect cheers Bill. Will you be around tonight or at south polo tomorrow for me to pick that up?

Cheers Gormley. I can pick them up on Friday if you're around in time for polo or Saturday if not.

Thanks Object, rik, Bill and Gormley, The instructor in question is a mate of mine and it sounds like a good event, it'll be appreciated whatever help is possible, whoever goes down will be treated like the Pros from Dover...

Have to work that day or I would've helped for sure.

trains run from Charing Cross, the duration is 45min, and there is a trian every 20min more or less.
thinking in leaving bewteen 10 - 10:30

I can probably take a day off from drinking tea and eating bagels to help out.

sweet!

If you could that'd awesome.

Maybe ask Prav? he's a slacker at the mo..

any student will be on holidays

Plus Tonbridge will be lovely this time of year.

im a student with a job....lame.

Any climbers should go and enjoy the sandstone cliffs near by.

Bear in mind the rail strike starts on the 6th.

What rail strike? This could seriously hamper plans.

Is there a CRB requirement or are they happy to have anyone along ?

Anyone can attend.
The cycling instructors are all CRB checked (As is Rik).

Perfect cheers Bill. Will you be around tonight or at south polo tomorrow for me to pick that up?

I'm not around tonight at polo, and not likely to go to Souths (unless Oscar shows up!).

Maybe Thursday?

Anyone can attend.

Who else has CRB approval, incidentally? It''d be useful to know if we're ever doing more of this.

Wait. Its polo. It can only be a poll or a list.
