i am sorting a team and will register asap. maybe with Emmet just waiting for a confirmation.

I think Julia Bakenger is still looking for a team if you need a third Luca

Is anyone one person short of a full team? you can count on me! Im Paul, have been to a handful of tournaments and can stay on my bike and am damn good in goal. You may remember me from cambridge summer tourney and last UK champs, my team was Doomallets (me)

I have been playing just less than two years. Sadly my team booted* me but i still really want to play polo in Edinburrah! (and will be there regardless)

*not because of my character, just because John H is better than me, unfortunate.

Cheers

Please take paul, he's decent & a nice bloke

Also, please don't take that picture of him into consideration

Have you all got bike reservations?

Just saying...

in my experience east coast trains have about 4 bike spaces each, so yeah.. make sure!

a bike bag will be fine, right?

"We can only carry up to five cycles per train."
