Tourney: London International Invitational 2012 13th-15th Jan

Nice!

Hey guys, Is this near to any of you Cambridge boys?

Bar Hill.
40 Fen End,
Willingham,
Cambridge.
CB24 5LH.

It'd be great if someone could help me out by picking something up for me on their way down from Cambridge... it's a tea urn so maybe someone who's driving as it'll be a bit heavy for the bag albeit a good size. Lemme know guys would be much appreciated.

Top Tip:

Any Europeans travelling to the UK, why not buy some 50g pouches of Golden Virginia and sell them to us at a small mark-up. Win win (apart from the negative health aspects obvs).

as payment you could promise to take a dive in the 7th minute

I'm gonna try and get along to show my face avec camera at some point over the weekend, what's the deal with getting in? Will someone from LHBPA be on the door, or will someone there have a members list?
Cheers, looking forward to some top-notch polo!

Not 100% how we are going to deal with it yet, but we'll get something sorted.

By the way your membership runs out on the 13th ;)

Ha, thanks for the notice!

We still have 5 teams we need to house, and only a week to go.

It would be really appreciated if people could help them out.

The Shotgun Sisters unfortunately are incomplete and are looking for a third player! If anyone is interested email Anna or me!

Do you guys know if we will be able to leave bikes / bike bags at the centre? For foreign players it can be handy. We did that in KA and most people took the tram.

Yes !! as Cedric Told me he was living really far from the excel centre, it would be great if we could leave our bikes and stuff (safe) there and take the subway.

Sorry if it's been covered, couldn't find it in the OP itinerary.
