Cheers John!

Sweet!

LOBP page 'access denied'

looks great though, can't wait to play again.

I think it's awaiting moderation from Kev (the tournament is public).

rad!

Brilliant to hear you got BG Gardens sorted.
Nice one, well done Jono, your energy is endless!

Bit more of a squeeze than Downs but I think it will attract a decent number of spectators and the atmosphere will be great. The bigger courts too will make for some fast games.

Hope it's seeded groups. Less wait between games.

OO exciting.

Did you got more sponsors?

Whoa! That's a lot of polo in a weekend!

adds to diary

Whoop!

Epic. Great work.

Nice one Jono!

HEYO!*

*say in a Tree type way

This will be amazing well done !

wecked jono ,,lots of polo
