Tourney: Cambridge Swiss Roll Pre-Barca Warm Up - 5th June

Bike in a bike bag. I even managed to get it on the Jubilee line. :) Told the staffs it's a sketching stand!

Haha, I wish I could take my bike on the train at peak times otherwise I'd be down every week.

I'm working in London on Wednesday on Great Marlborough Street, can take helmet, lock, pads if people can collect?

Yeah, I don't mind picking everything up, make it easier for you. I'll PM you my number.

Whose are the pads?

No idea, unless someone claims them I'll just bring the helmet and lock.

That would be awesome! John, I'll be working late on Wednesday, could you grab the lock and either Mark or I will grab it off you one evening?

Yep, no problems

Cambridge, and everyone who went,

Really sorry about not turning up, and sorting out the software, etc, I said ages ago on here that I'd do it, and with shit all kicking off at work, and culminating in me quitting my job, my head was elsewhere, and I totally forgot. The software challonge [http://challonge.com/] is easy to find and set up, anyone could have done it, it takes 20 mins to register and create swiss rounds. Anyway, sorry you didn't know I wasn't going to make it, and shame I missed it too.

You don't owe anyone an apology. A major part of hosting is having contingency plans in place. No event should ever rest on any one person's shoulders.

^indeed. Coach however owes emmet and nik and apology for going off the rails once i left.

agreed. you shouldn't be apologising gabes. i apologise for not thinking forward or for having a back up sorted. lessons have been learnt the hard way. sorry guys, next time we do a tournament I will have format things in place better so that all you guys have to do is worry about playing. the challonge software looks remarkably easy to use and I've set cambridge up on it, onwards and upwards.

Thanks to everyone for coming and especially John H for helping out with the laptop/scoreboard duties. Apologies for it all being very chaotic and not in a SR format , unfortunately circumstances made everything far from ideal . Poor or lack of preparation has no excuse and i accept a lot of everyones criticism as being totally valid. Hopefully we will learn from these mistakes .
I am also guilty of playing in two teams . Being old and dimwitted i hope you will forgive me this indulgence ( i did pay 2 registrations ). Again apologies .
Well played Spring Break. Well played Gully-Robber ,Team Cream are crying into their cornflakes.

I think you're absolutely right. We haven't had another polo session since the weekend so I can only speak for myself but I think that is one of the main things to take away from this. The other being a much clearer idea of the maximum number of teams for a single court on a one day tournament (especially one held on a Sunday).

Thanks for everyone's feedback both positive and not so positive (it's still constructive) – hopefully we'll have a big chat about it tonight and over the course of the week and take it all on board for next time...

Whoa... three way Cambridge synchronisity.

everytime I see a pigeon from my window it reminds me of the stolen trophy. #cryingintocoffee

Ha ha, the gold paints worn off in the rain and he's whole again!!

It's looking a bit wet there. Could be Chanchester? The net[to]'s definitely closing in...

Dear Cambridge polo. Sorry about only being negative. Thanks for having us. Y'all are awesome and your space is dope.

@crackfox - Thanks for lending me your cages. I'll give them back next time I see you.

That is weird coz Feb got me some chips and curry sauce from there just before the final , i reckon it slowed me down . Maybe they didn't understand your northern brogue ?

but I asked her in my finest queens English to try and help labour the point!

Guys... the thing is since i did that robbery i've been trying to keep a low profile and i'm sure there were some fuckin dirty grasses in the warehouse at the weekend and i wasn't hanging around to get snared thats for sure....

i'm just gonna stay out of town til the heat dies down, considering a bit of surgery to put the dibble off...

GULLY

Doritos, Haribos or McCains Oven Chips? Any which way, the bird is going to be doing some bird...

They see me minesweepin, they hatin.....

Cambridge is in a flap over this. What a tern up!
