Old Polo Thread

Got a bunch (alu) like promised from the ski place so mebbe time for another mallet-making sesh. They're a metre, so easily long enough. I've got 8, given 3 to Woody(on the promise of love) and 9 to Ben & Craig.

Whoop! email from APC, wheels are here th' morra! whoop whoop

yay new stuff is great

can i have 4 of your longest and finest Collin?

Ok, so tonight will be a scorcher.... which will mean LOTS of people using Platt Fields...

I reckon the Whitworth Park should be fine (read: not slippy), and i reckon this might be a good bet for tonight as i reckon Chorlton park will be busy too.....

Can anybody swing past during the day today and do a site recce before this evening and post their opinion on the suitability of Whitworth park for tonight for anyone who's unsure about the location it's here:

damn my shitty work comp, i dont have flash player! Someone explain whats so good about this new google maps thing...

Streetview, Hi-res piccies. I just zoomed in on my living room window.

that is fucked up!

if no-one else is, i'll do a recce in a few hours and post back here about 5pm.

last time me and ste checked it was unplayable but it had been pretty wet so maybe it's dried out a bit.

armitage was pretty good last night for a quick knoc around. maybe those guards in the milk float don't care at night?

whitworth park will be dark by half 6 though and dosnt have flood lights

how about meet at whitworth, have a look/play till dark and then move on plattfields or armatige?

how about meet at whitworth, have a look/play till dark and then move on plattfields or armatige?

That's kinda what i was thinking, Can anyone else get there earlier than 6 today?

can get there for 5.50...

yeh i can get there any time from five, but someone from polo last night has my mallets and balls! (fess up whoever the fool be!).

here's some pics from whitworth just now, it is miles better than when we checked it out a few weeks ago. surface is good. floodlights is the only problem...

I got oen of your mallets, and all the new ski poles, i think craigs got the ball

you got stripy mighty mallet or my spare?

I'm web-less at home at the mo (it's like losing a leg!) so I need to know where we'll be before I leave work at 4.30.

Are we definitely starting at whitworth first? I can get there for 5.30

wayne give me a text on zerosevennineeightzero ninetwoeight fivethreesix.

i'll text you when it's all finalised.

And I still think this court down the road on Princess Parkway has promise.

Cheers snoops - got your number. Will do.

yeh does look good, i think try whitworth till dark, then anywhere with lights (platt or armitage). if whitworth is too slippy could check princess parkway one on the way to platt fields?
