Ladies Polo

So I've bumped the other ladies polo thread >>>>> because I've spoken to a few ladies who said they were interested now and again, but it seems none of them have started.
I thought we could do a beginners lady day if we have enough interest so they all start on the same level and it's easier / less scary.
If there is enough interest, are people up for helping and lending bikes / mallets?

im happy to lend my bike. saying that. i have an old los conos vintage frame i can donate if anybody takes it up proper. needs a good home.

i still havent read that write up Jess but i am going to make time this weekend! looks lovely.

Magic conos power.

I did a blog post on Ladies' Polo, sadly it's not very comprehensive as I had to cut a serious amount of waffling out but let me know if there's something I should add!

Jess! This article was fantastic! Wish i had had the ability to explain the ladies polo so well, wicked job. Also, emm's video is one of my favs of thaT WEEKEND..MAKES ME WANNA GO PLAY POLO!

Hey ladies, how long are your mallet shafts?

Thinking of going shorter...

38". Just below hip height for me.

was 93cm now its 94cm. bumped my saddle up a notch.

my mallet is 93cm and i think i am 162cm tall. Helen, do you know the size of the frame you have? also the top tube lenght? pictures yes. and nice read.

Hello ladies, would you mind if yomoyo and shifties hung around newt on Thursday in the hope of getting the 2nd court? If the 2nd court is taken (would also be good to know if you've previously had 2nd court free on a Thursday?) we could try to head to Mitch...

Thursday is the only day we have left where all 6 of us can play... But not certain where at the moment!

I think we're doing a photoshoot Thursday. Might be kids out a bit since the weather's getting nice.

Is the shoot defo happening? Bells?
Either way, we're in for polo but probs only 1 court.

i think will is just coming down to take some pics like he does any other throw in. Cheeeeeeeese.

Yeh, I normally just hang around leering and drooling at Pique or Buffalo Bill but since they won't be there....
I may want some more 'posed' shots than normal, if that is ok. Just portrait things, the light at Newington is hit and miss. But mainly just hanging around snapping whatever is happening. Thanks all.

So we're defo on ladies?

I'm gonna have to be a party pooper and support "the man" while he does the GO quiz.

I was in all night but somethings come up and i have to leave earlyish. sad face.

We'll have to photoshop you in the poster!

So we still have enough?

1. Mothergirl
   
2. Zoe
   
3. Biancha
   
4. Wicksie
   
5. Julia
   
6. Margz
   
7. nik
   
8. Shippey
   

I will probs leave early to go to Orwell and support the quiz.

Can't play but I'll be able to drop by late on. Can we do next week too? I'd be really up for this regularly.

I'm still in!

Mega excited about seeing everyone tonight!

Margs is out. :(. Down to 7 / 6 when B goes.
Perhaps we should postpone the photoshoot?

Wicksie: it is not a photoshoot!
It's just me being there because there will me more women players around than normal and I might get some shots for the Hells Belle's poster; I will be at the League Cup too and already have plenty of pics of many of the women players we can use.
It's also my day off so I can, for a change, make it to Newington. So, even if there are only 3 or 4 women players I think it's still worth me being there.

Bike is out of action this week, but hopefully in again pretty regularly soon. Confidence on the ball has been knocked out of me over the winter, anyone up for drills/skills in particular?

Ah, Thought this was all about the poster. Cool then, will still be an awesome night.
Can't guarantee tea though. :)
I'm talking Margs in to going home to get her polo bike.

LaPo drillz, not a bad idea C. Come tonight! Borrow bike.
