Beginners Polo

Hey guys, There was only 4 of us last night with 2 mallets :(

It seems to be getting harder to keep the Beginner Sessions going, when I started a month ago there was a lot more activity. Dose anyone have any Ideas how to keep people playing and encourage more to pick up the sport?

Also if no one is running the beginner group does anyone want to fill the spot?

I have mallets, who wants them?

There are a few people who are looking for Mallets, They are not on the forum yet. I told them to come down south today to meet other players. So we can ask it they want one. How much?

Absolutely free, man, they're used... I'll bring some down later, but only if you guys can take them off me tonight... Don't wanna drag them home again...

If they don't I will take them off your hands and bring them next Tuesday for the guys. I am confident that it wont come to that though.

yeah, I'd be happy to keep hold of a sparesy for newbies

Also Blue - did you or Liam end up with my mallet and ball last night? I'll come down this eve about 6.30

Liam took it home with him, so he will be bringing it with him tonight!

and you Ball :)

nice one

Lessons that CowHen learnt when he was organising the sessions in Peckham: organise the session via the forum as early as possible (not just on a Tuesday afternoon), get a list going, and dont confirm it until you have six people who'll say they'll show up, otherwise you'll get three or four people coming along and waiting around, which is always disheartening. Make sure you ask any complete beginners to say whether they have a mallet or a suitable bike they can play on (anything that doesnt have drop bars is usually ok to begin with).

Thanks kev :) Let's try this!

argh, finishing work late today so can't do :-( but i want to play with you soon, when are you polo-ing next :-)

I'd like to start utilising Facebook a bit more for beginner stuff too. I just changed the description to include beginner nights but could start some monthly exclusively beginner events or something? Anyway, like us: https://www.facebook.com/londonhardcourtbikepolo We also have a Twitter page too: https://twitter.com/LondonBikePolo
