Welcome to the DragonDrome - Herne Hill Velodrome bike polo Planning and Discussion

I'm gonna be there really early, probs around 5, anything useful I can do?

Tim

In.

Also just had a new mountain bike delivered, which I'll be ghosting down. Anyone about who can give me a run down on what all the exciting new knobs and levers on my forks do?

One changes how bouncy they are, one stops them being bouncy at all (hopefully!)... Are there more? (Felix will know better and more I imagine!)

In after work, unfortunately stuck at work till about 6... So that's 7ish...

Fuck i hate work in double to day but in for tomorrow and every day at the dragon D'net net netssss so good

in 4:15ish I guess, as long as the overground takes me

In for around 6.30/7 (maybe earlier)

yes emmet!!! :)

I'm gonna be playing on a brompton, anyone got a mallet I can borrow?

haha!

In for 7 hopefully

1: please remember this is 'shop window' polo leave the high octane out of here.
2: No checking into the boards, This court is supposed to last longer than a usual 3day tourney court.
3: Easy on the big shots, lets see how effective these nets are. (they are the same height as newt and the ball goes over there) (i'm well aware its me writing this:)
4: PLEASE DO NOT PULL ON THE NETS. (its designed to support the nets, not your weight)
5: Bring your £2.50

Strictly speaking there is a no alcohol policy but for this weekend we have been offered a barrel of ale. £2.50
a pint and we can drink it in the centre. So we could have a little bbq? Maybe sunday would be nice because the track is quieter anyway.

Can't make it now, hope you all have fun.

Amazing success, I will be sad to leave this wonderful space...

Massive props to B, Charlie and Knobject for getting shit done...

Seeing both Ems on court today was a bit of a choker... Wonderful times... Xxxx #bitpissed

Great seeing people.

The court is super dope! Mad respect to all involved in getting it going.

I seem to have 5 quid. I remember emmet and ali giving me money. So that means that every single other player today brought over 2 railway sleepers each right? It was great last night. Potting polo ftw!

Oooooh, Sunday you say?

Could be keen for Sunday.

Even keener for Saturday.

Herne Hill Polo Weekend!!!

Mad in for Sunday.

In sun

sweet sweet sunday.

Should get an amateur film maker to put together a couple of evenings + Sunday afternoons sessions to make a banging film for what is potentially best polo court in the world right now.

just come and play hugo and bring your 2.50 :)

Yeah, fuck film makers... I hate THOSE guys...
