Tourney: Hell's Belles, vol. 1 - 15-16.10.2011

Deeply cool and inspiring weekend of polo watching. You lot are amazing. Thanks.

superb pics Will.

lpc i love you

Such a brilliant tournament! Erin, Nik and the rest of the London ladies - thankyou so much for making this happen, much love to you all. Registering was the kick up the arse I needed to start playing polo regularly and watching so many talented girls over the weekend was really inspiring! I know it's been said already but Shotguns and Tornadoes were amazing to watch. B, thankyou so much for stepping in as our sub last minute, I feel like Ludo and I learned so much with your support. Gutted I missed the presentation but it was so lovely to see everyone and I hope you heal up well Pierre! x

ahhh i don't know what to say except THANKS to nik and erin and all who organised! it was definitely memorable! can't wait to beat your ass in the future, till ;). i need a few more months under me belt first. can't wait till next year for more fun times! woopdawoop!!

I had a great time thanks belles. Great organisation, great support from the LPC guys and gals. Thanks clefty and poots for your tireless and cheery whipping. Great food ben and Lori, bbq jono, always a nice surprise to get fed. And thanks to Ludo and Jess for choosing me to sub, you guys got better and better and passed the ball around scoring some great goals against good teams. Really nice to see some old school faces there too. Get well Bidou, thanks for the cooking :)
Ry, is my drill in the workshop?

I've got your drill B. Will get it to you this week.

And +1 about Lu and Jess getting better and better as the weekend went on. It was awesome to see.

Wish you had footage of Moach shouting and nearly exploding during awards at the end. Was hilarious! Gotta love Mo.

The poor ambulance guy, who had to deal with enough already was looking pretty nervous...

yeah, he looked pretty worried about the prospect of "everyone on court for a sprint race"

With angry dad face.

hehe.
He looked like he'd just walked onto the court not knowing anyone and begun shouting...

spluttering with gay abandon.

I miss mo.

Hi everyone!
I'm back in France ... I still spend a great weekend that will remain long in my heart.

I go to the hospital this morning and it is much better, but it is too early to know the long-term damage. but I saw already a lot better.

thank you all for your hugs, your smiles, your humor ...

I loved my dress up girl for you.

I'm already sad to be away from you, away from the polo!

I promise to find an even better costume for the next tournaments.

Thank you friends

how about this one bidou? Glad your feeling up!

What a great premiere to European womens tournaments.

Europe slayed, well done girls, i was so impressed with the standard of play.

I had such a great time and really loved seeing it all come together this weekend. Erin and Nik, you guys are fucking heroes!! To organise all of this and still play out of your skins and show everyone just how strong the London Ladies community is, it was absolutely inspirational.

Did anyone use/take a ball or head from the main table without paying for it with me directly? I saw a pink ball being used in the games?

Did anyone else collect money for distro stuff?

Having counted everything I got back, and the money for it, I'm down a few on balls and heads.

I had an amazing weekend. I normally come away from tourneys feeling a bit deflated, kinda hating polo and thinking I'm never going to get better. But Hell's Bells was so inspirational, fun, exciting, energetic and such great polo.
