Tourney: UK Euros Qualifier 2011 (Sat April 16th)

• 1Getting an excited knot in my stomach thinking about it! The vaguely sinister 'no frills' aspect makes me think 'Fight Club' - and we don't want to talk about that do we... :-)
  

Bill, I have stop watches, whistles and clipboards now, no need to buy more.

Paint or chalk to mark out where the goals need to be?

Use spray paint? If it rains, chalk won't last.

There will be netted goals, so it's not 100% essential.

chalkpaint. you can get sweet colours.

white cloud and 18 degrees, that be perfect weather!

Chalkpaint? Confusing.

I have plain old chalk sticks, should be good enough?

Chalkpaint? Confusing.

paintchalk? it's chalk with paint like qualities, or paint with chalk like qualities. (stick form)

it's supposed to be semi-permanent but more so permanent than mere chalk.

I reckon.

We do have 2 pairs of goals, right?

Yep, Ryan made them last year, Gabes is bringing them down for this Saturday... props to both of them.

Massive props!

Oh man, I'm so excited about Saturday.

Being a tree frog. Awesome.
Competing for a chance to go to Barcelona to play at the Euros. Double Awesome.

Quick question about where I'm staying. I'm gonna get a lift to Reading tomorrow & then a train to paddington, where would be easiest to get to from there, johns or bens? I'll probably take whoever is easiest up on their offer of refuge

No idea where Ben lives, but getting from Paddington to mine is fairly easy, though will take a while, probably 45 minutes on a polo bike, and it's 15 minutes polo cycle from the court.

Can someone put a sign up tonight or tomorrow at Newington saying both courts are reserved for the LHBPA on Saturday from 9am until 9pm for the UK Hardcourt Bike Polo European Qualifiers? Southwark logo here.

The park warden might turn up at some point on Saturday to see if we're all fine and dandy on the day. Miranda's made a note of it and says we shouldn't get any trouble (but obviously we should explain to any kids that it's a one off reservation and they can use the court on Sunday, etc).

The council were going to make a sign originally, but it's now too short notice?! Ah well.

The slackers thread seems to have been mvoed to LPC, so is anyone planning on playign throw-ins tomorrow? wouldn't mind some games before the tourney

I can play NE early afternoon in my lunch break if there are games.

Here.

^^^^

Someday soon, I'll make you eat those words, old man... :P

It's on motherfuckers!

I'll try to get there by 9am or a bit before to help out with the sweeping. Or did we get the leaf blower?
