  • Me and a few friends are trying to get bike polo going in Essex. We couldn't find anyone currently organising polo in the area and have decided to seize the initiative. So...

    You are cordially invited to:

    'Chelmo Polo'
    Saturday April 16, 2pm
    Meet Chelmsford Rail Station
    (round the back by the taxi rank)
    Ride to the courts at Melbourne Park

    A few games of polo in the county town followed by a few bevvies. There are spare mallets for those don't have one. All bikes welcome.

    (and if you prefer facebook go here)

  • Nice one, good luck guys!

  • Good work, and good luck.
    If you're making a day of it I might come down.

    Happy to help with anything if you need it.

  • If you're in the Chelmsford area this Saturday, please come down and show your support. We have 10 people confirmed at the moment.

    CHANGE OF VENUE
    We've got permission from Chelmsford Sport and Athletics *Centre in *Melbourne to use their good quality tarmac, fully walled courts. These courts are about 10-15 mins ride from Chelmsfrd station so we're meeting there and riding to Melbourne. Details have been edited above.

  • If we arent playing league playoffs on saturday then im tempted to come and help out...
    Anyone else?

  • Saturday's euro play off isn't it?

  • yep but me and the rest of the Bottom Bracket arent involved

  • well reem

  • Might be up for this but don't have a bike just yet so not this weekend. I'm in Southend just now.

  • Come back up north Stu...

  • Borrow the loaner Sandy. FlipMode only uses it Tuesdays I think. This is what it's there for!

    Is the loaner fixed or freewheel? Might do that, the pain in the arse thing is getting it on the train on a weekday morning but I'm thinking come into central on sat morning and get a few things for the build then get the loaner and go play in essex. Then come in on sunday with the loaner drop it back off and build quick and dirty polo bike and play sunday afternoon. :)

  • Yep freewheel, has a commuting gear too.

    PM FlipModeSquadron to make arrangements. Sorted.

    Sweet, already done

  • Amazing, see you Saturday then Sandy?

  • Will someone have an adjustable spanner with them?

  • I'll bring some tools yeah, what size do you need, or does it have to be an adjustable?

  • It could possibly be 15mm but Wicksie isn't sure

  • OK, I'll bring a 15 and an adjustable

  • Stu F is polo.

  • OK, I'll bring a 15 and an adjustable

    Thanks

    Ask Flip.
    Pretty sure it is.

  • Sorry guys I'm out, decided it would mean me running around like mad all day Saturday. Need to pick up stuff for my quick & dirty polo build, which I'd rather get sorted ASAP so I have a full time bike. Quite want to watch the euro qualies as well. Hopefully you'll have another day though.

  • Great turnout yesterday, 12 players! Photos coming soon.

    Hopefully going to play again tomorrow afternoon, time tbc
