Polo: Let's have a tournament

the best would be corrugated plastic used for roofing
Wouldn't that be a touch unpredictable on the rebound?

think 9mm is the thinnest spec

I tell a lie, you can get 4mm and 6mm too. 4mm is about £8 for 2400 x 1200 but would have to check if it would be strong enough to stop a ball

Has to be transparent/translucent though!

Even if it's only 600mm? If they're using it for storing podiums, junk and tyres it seems hypocritical to ask us to build it out of expensive plastic

Tennis courts in Canon Hill Park if we could book them? (the double court).

Making barriers seems like a lot of hard work for a one or two dayer I reckon.

Cannon hill not suitable I reckon either - I think I posted about that earlier...

ball going over would be an occasional annoyance but it hardly ever comes off the floor in brum games does it??

Oh Stu, so much has changed!

Oh, have you been lifting balls for a while now?

twss..

We have a venue!

It's in Highgate, it's indoors, room for two courts and it's free.

First tourney planning meeting.

Sounds sick, more details please. Can you play on it now or only for the tourney?

Shame I can't make the meeting

Can we check it out on Sunday M? What's availability like? (thinking of the future)

What what what?

Have you recce'd it? It would be advisable for one person (at least) to check it out before marshalling people for a meeting, I reckon. If it's the community centre place, it's not suitable. Although I doubt it is, because only a seriously spacially-unaware person would think you could put two courts in there.

Ill take minutes and send them to you stu.

Its a warehouse, but the company is moving out so we can use it for a weekend after its been cleared.

There is no date yet, we should know more on that in a couple of weeks.

I'm happy to take some photo's if you like, as its on my doorstep (sadly)....

Awesome news - well done on the find!

I reckon with a confirmed venue/date, it will motivate everyone to get involved.

Meeting is good - but we need to check the surface/barrier situation asap. Photos/general impressions from Pistaboy would be welcome.

If anybody wants to view the court today PM me and I can send the postcode, lunchtime is better 1-2.

I'd like to take a look - but can't get out of work today. No chance tomorrow?

yeah sure Dan, same again tomorrow lunchtimeish, just text me when you wan to pop up

After some thought today, we may only b able to have 1 court. The floor looks slightly uneven in places, @o unless we can fit them in an L shape it will b 1. Ill try n get the floor plan today.

Cool - I'll aim to be with you around 1.
