Beginners Polo

Just one more needed, anyone is welcome! It would be good to get more beginners for the summer, tell your friends.

Might pop along for an hour or so, depends...

I'll be taking it easy tonight I think, unsure whether I've broken my toe or not...

that sounds painful...

It's not that painful, which is why i'm unsure... Anyway, Arunas just texted me saying he's down for tonight with a friend, so that's 7, polo is on tonight! Ignore the pelting rain, it'll blow over in half an hour, plus Peckham has the wonderful virtue of a roof.

It's been a while, and I've been looking forward to coming along again...

and then I fell of my bike and I'm now covered in scrapes etc. :(

Maybe next week.

I'll bring my spare mallet!!

I have bars/stem/lever for you via Beagle via Konijn, will be down later.

Saturday morning... 9.30 to 11, London Fields. Weather should be dry, maybe even a bit of sun! Who's in?

I suggest that until this becomes a regular thing, you should try to organise it earlier in the week than a late Friday afternoon.

I'll come if a loaner is available. Want/need all the practice I can get!

@kev We can do that, but it is already regular - that we try it... :)

@pootsmanuva - I'll bring the loaner.

Cheers dude!

punkture was saying on weds that one of the West Ldn beginners actually lives in Dalston and was going to try and get her along?

Cool. I'm sure there must be some north would-be beginners, but they may not check the forum or this thread that much. Last week I think Beagle posted a notice around midnight on Friday night, thats absolutely pointless.

Might be good to get a list started on a Wednesday or Thursday morning, hoover up some people who'd been to Peckham or Westway.

Nice one poots, will see ya there tomorrow.

Cheers dude!

Great, I'll be there.

Kev, I can start those Sat lists earlier in the week. Let's try.

Will bring black pipe for you paul!

Ok, so we were 3 this morning, nice weather, nice solo polo! More people would mean we'd take the whole court for ourselves for a few hours and we'd actually play.
I've just been at the bike kitchen - great place by the way - and they'd put our Sat morning LF session in their newsletter tomorrow - and have beginners flyers there if I adapt the Peckham ones... What do you think? Kev? Ben?

hey, we didnt end up showing today for various reasons, the main one being that we couldent be arsed. should be at wests on weds though

Keep up the good work Ben.

Thanks for yesterday and the ball Ben!

Bit of solo polo and half a court > no polo I reckon!

Will try and gee up some of the other North types into coming along too.

Flyers arent a bad idea thedutch, but then you have to make sure it actually happens regularly, for non-forum people that might show up on the basis of a flyer.

I think you should take a leaf from CowHen's book - start the list early. Start it on a Monday even, so people going to Peckham also know about it, with the time, date, and location at the top of the six person list.

You might also want to put it in the Ladies beginners thread in the Ladies' forum, I think there was a fairly decent turn out for the session that Joni ran at Newington a few weeks back, I imagine some of those attendees would be into coming along to London Fields.
