Oxford bike polo

A new thread just for polo!

We're hoping to play this Thursday from around 8.15 pm... say if you're interested so we know if we've got enough players.

Location: Curry's car park, Botley Road:

I can't say I'll definately be there, will try to pop down though.
Get involved folks. Polo is good fun and the guys are all cool and were happy to accomodate a beginner when I turned up unannounced.

definitely not this thursday I'm afraid but keen to get involved at some point.

So did you get many down for this? I couldn't make it unfortunately.

It was cancelled due to injuries... we're trying to sort out a practice this and next week, if you're interested post what days you're free.

Hey, if anyone wants to advertise any polo events, contact us on fixedgearoxford@gmail.com and we'll put it up on the blog http://fixedoxford.blogspot.com/.

Is this still going on at this time of year? I've never played but my housemate and I were thinking of coming down next week. Is it possible to borrow a mallet (and possibly a bike- Not sure I've got appropriate gearing)?

I didn't have appropriate gearing when I played, but still got on ok. They also had mallets to use and were happy to let newcomers use them. I don't know if it's still hapening though, not been down in ages. makes excuse about being busy blah blah but is actually just disorgnised

It's been quiet recently, but in a fit of organisational madness I created a Doodle poll

Stick your name down, and tick which days you're free (green-free, yellow-maybe). Don't worry about equipment, we normally have some spare mallets, just bring a bike you don't mind getting the odd (possibly self inflicted) knock :)

you can borrow my bike if im down there.

This Wednesday 8.30 pm Currys car park, weather permitting.

Sorry, feel like a massive arse about this... work got super hectic this week so I wasn't able to commit to any of the times. Also I go away on Wednesday but maybe I'll manage to swing by in a month when I'm back.

Weather forecast is dry and cold, so wrap up and come out to play tomorrow!

We're going to try and get a regular practice going every Wednesday, weather permitting. Join the email list for updates (you can join the list without creating a GroupSpaces account):

If anyone's still prevaricating about joining in... we've got a new court at Cherwell School.
Tomorrow (Thursday), 6-8pm. Ideal for pre/post/inter-exam relaxation.

Hi there,

So are Thursdays going to be your regular session from now on, or are you doing Wednesday/Saturday as well? I can't make Thursday, but I could make tonight, for instance...

Cheers.

Regular practice is on Thursdays now at Cherwell. If you're not on the GroupSpaces mailing list, PM me your email.

Yes to thursdays

Mini tournament in Bristol on Sat 11th June. Shout if you're interested.

Jase, we play every thursday 6-8ish hopefully when a few more people have "polo bikes" we can play later in marston but till then we rely on the ocw ones. Come down if you fancy it next thursday.

It's confirmed!

All we need now is teams!
Whilst it already looks like being an awesome weekend, the more teams we get now, the more sponsors we can get on board, hopefully with some sweet prizes!

Sign up on the thread, look us up on Facebook, or drop us an email at soyopoloco@yahoo.com

Look forward to seeing you there!

Bike polo this Thursday from 6pm until 8pm up at the tennis courts at Cherwell School's north site!

Everyone welcome. Bikes and mallets available to borrow.
