Tourney: London Open 2012 - August 25th and 26th

Jono, blue head mallet is mine. I'll grab it off you sometime soon.

yay! mallet second from the left is mine.

I lost a kryptonite key, but there may have been an abus key on it and then there should be a shed key on it too - did that turn up anywhere?

Any unclaimed / not bothered collecting mallets would be gratefully received into the westway beginners tournament pot.

Lebowski please check your LHBPA email.

Black giro is mine!!!!!!!! thanks so much for finding. how can i collect?

.......put Norwegian polo on the map.

Tell them not to worry, I'm on that.

First mallet from the right, the one with pink grip....it's mine, Kevin, you can have it for beginners sessions or tournaments.

Length of garden hose?! Prob belonged to those teenagers...?

Yes, sleeping bag is mine. Will text you about collecting tomo, cheers Jon.

i can't wait for the LCC photos of Machine, so v v v wrong

Awesome tourney.

It's a shame you guys made a loss. As a suggestion maybe you should take donations durring the day? And all proceeds goes to the London Open maybe set up a donations account. It has to be one of te most popular and biggest bike polo events!

On this side I would say that you could have easily raise the fee from 50% to 100%. 15 or 20£ can be alright. This is so much work to handle such a number of team, you don't deserve to loose money.

We only made a loss because we lost some tickets at the party and because our security needs went up last minute, it shouldn't be too bad and the LHBPA has a healthy bank balance for such an occasion, full report coming next week.

Charging players more than £10 each for potentially 5 games of polo is a little much if you ask me, it was already an expensive trip to London and it'd be cool to keep polo as cheap/accessible as possible in the future.

Shoot jono I just realized I was given a ticket but forgot to give Erin the money. I'll give it to you with the Musette stuff. Sorry dude!

Like i said the footfall from the general public was incredible. Im sure people would donate a couple of quid for watching 2-3 games.

Great weekend everyone.

I did not see anyone thank Sean.

All of his time there working as a mechanic -- all three days from 7am until everyone left -- was volunteer. His boss was supposed to pay him but reneged on it at the last minute, yet Sean showed up every day, for a full day of work, doing the same shit he does every other day of the week, working overtime for free.

MVDJ (Most Valuable Disc Jockey) = Tree Josh.

This coming from an old man who does not like music.

Sean got one of the biggest roars of the night at the Electric Showroom party when Jono thanked him, but I dont think he was there...

Mechanical tent was just a blast. This guy fixed my wheel in NO TIME and with smile, for free (= opposite of 95% of bike shop I know). I gave thanks irl, but can make it again here. Thanks!

Of course, Bill, Jono, John H, Ryan, Boozehound Josh and many others put in endless hours of free labor too, but just wanted to add Sean to the list.

Thankyou Jono (and co) for another amazing tournament. You smashed it, again!

A set like this turned up. Ask Eggpie, maybe?

Machine took a set like that, and was surprised they didn't work with what he thought was his lock. That might explain why.

Where is he and how do I get in touch?

Machine and Eggpie are so vigilant, they saved Jamal's helmet too.
