Beginners Polo

Lola, the key things are straight capped bars and a spinny gear. But there is a polo loaner available(?) and I'm sure one of the more experienced players will have a spare mallet!

If you don't mind the smell I'm sure there will be pads to borrow.

I've been meaning to support saturday beginners but I can't for the life of me get a saturday off work.

Right so same as Lola really. I'm pretty sure Poots is coming Saturday too.
That's 3 for London Fields in the when? Can we get any more? Like people who know what they're doing?

Registration for the Beer Cage Open is from 10:30am at Downham this Saturday, so might struggle for non-beginners at London Fields this week. Deffo go along and watch the tourney though, should be a great intro to the LPC spirit.

Oh that's still the plan, I was hoping for a sniff of my level of polo before or after (Could we stay at Downham or go early?), maybe I should ask on the beer cage thread...

I don't mind coming along this Saturday morning to help out at Beginners, I left all my loaner mallets at ExCeL mind...

Reckon we will have enough for Saturday - look here for a list on Friday. If there's six, we'll be on. There's a loaner bike that I'll bring. Plus its good to have a try on everyone's bike to see what you like.

Start time will be 10.00am.

Tom and Lish - you in for Sat?

Cowhen and Kit - can we tempt you north? Cookies do it?

Other Peckhamities?

And it will be London Fields...

And thanks Jono. That'd be good!

Sorry, not this time.

Work is hellish for me atm...once I've got a big launch out of the way on Tuesday then I'll be back/generally doing stuff other than working and sleeping!

In fact Peckham next Tues fo'shure. Will celebrate end of rubbishness at work in a carpark ; )

^ We never met, but I think we need to get a friend of yours Hannah, Jan's partner, to try as well. In fact, both of them have expressed interest!!! :-)

Han would be awesome at polo!! I will work in her for tues. Small world, huh!

Oh and Lola and IKHTW...I would say pads are totally necessary for beginners pace/have a go. Just wearing sturdyish socks was fine for me.

Hannah has the smallest bike in the world, ideal for polo! ha.

What's this poots?! Not coming on Saturday?! Beer cage though right?
I won't be around for ages and ages... Just about an hour?

The hour will stretch into half a day and soon enough you will be addicted to polo... :)

Hmm...so it looks to me like the Beer Cage thingy is the place to be tomorrow!
I really would like to start playing (instead of only watching)! Can't do next Saturday so Saturday the 4th is the date!

Can you be persuaded to Peckham on Tuesday Lola?

It's a bit too far for me on a school night* but I'll think about it!

*the truth is it's all about Norths... but I'm lying to myself that my love for booze and pizza is not that strong (hence the "distance excuse").

Oh yeah...blimmin' norths!

If you like polo though, Team Missisidiskiddis should deffo practise together.

Try tonight!

Oh yeah...blimmin' norths!

Deffo!

Oh, and IKnowhowtowhistle - we'll have our own, instant polo team!

Watch out Hell's Belles 2012!!

Hell yeah!

I am confused as to the result of all this but oddly excited and generally agreeing with Lola on the when I can play/general attendance plans parts and Poots on the raw enthusiasm parts...

I am confused..

Everything will become clear (as mud) tonight after few pints!
