And pasties!!!

Oh boy, the pasties. The golden crumbly pastry and heavenly fillings. They are both my best friend and worst enemy.

I'll be down from the 27th of July for week, any chance you'll have started by then? :)

Perhaps not by then but I'm on it for sure!

This is the best court I've found.
It's 10 mins from my house and 15 mins from the beach.
It's part of a sports centre but there's no charge to use it.
I've seen a bit of basketball but it hardly gets used hence the container.
I'm in contact with the head of sports development from the centre and he's VERY excited about bike polo and seems willing to help get it going. I've told him the container must go and that a few things need sorting to get the court into good shape.
Surface is good and there's a short wall around 3/4 of it. The other side is a corrugated iron building. Needs boards adding to the gate too and a few holes filling but that's it!

I'll be putting out some posters once the court is sorted and hopefully there will be interest. It could really work out over here!

Also planning a retreat so stay tuned. Camping, beers, polo and the beach!

This all sounds amazing! I'm sure you guys all repped as per usual!
Well done SB awesome result. Was hoping you'd make the final for sure! Next time though! Congrats CMD and unlucky Eddisons! Thought you might've stole this one.

This sounds great Alex!

Plymouth isn't so far so I might even be able to get over for a good days polo one weekend. Let me know when you'll have a good turnout and I'll drive over.

Regarding the mini-league, that could be great.
I need to get the ball rolling here first...

2nd final happenin now!!!!!

Yeah maybe a little harsh and I don't mean to add anything negative as I'm fully behind ukhbpc and supporting all you guys out there. Just the way it's now worked out makes it feel too open to anyone where as it was started with so many restrictions. I think next year the qualies for the euros should be kept seperate from uk champs and only those guaranteed to want to go should be playing. Wildcard is a whole other story...
Is it true Snoops and Max missed the plane?!!! Iain too?!!!
FFS!

They all go through. What a joke.
Seriously I feel the whole process has been ridiculous this year.
And yeah that's from a personal point of view.

I actually wanted to play in the Euros up until quite recently and I could've just put a team together randomly and got into the wildcard piss easy. The fact that the UK excluded Cosmic right from the start meant we all made other plans as we had no choice. Now look. Anyone could've played and everyone goes through.

And if I'm correct, Rupert and Max are playing with a Spanish team and have gone straight into the Euros. Ridiculous.

So how many go through?

What's the name of that campsite?

That link is being weird.
Where's the campsite?

Who else is camping?

It's the longest day on Friday. Just sayin'...

Hows about the tennis courts down Gylly?

That would be cool. Are they used a lot? Gonna check them out this weekend.

Thanks guys.
I'm gaging interest now but the main aim is to find a court(s) and a few initial people.
Once I have a court I'll begin with a flyer and hit up the university, bike shops and cool spots and see what happens.
If I only there was something next to the beach...

Once I have a court to call home you'll all be invited for a late summer exhibition tourney hopefully. Reckon I could tie it in with a Finisterre sample sale and some Flat Cap beer sponsorship. Loads of campsites too!

I'm gonna start the ball rolling here.
The time is now Kernow!
Let's get this going.

Falmouth has a lot of cool stuff going on but I see no polo.
It's way too much fun to let it pass you by!
I'm looking to get a few people together and get some games going.
I have mallets so you just need a bike.
It doesn't matter what bike either though a low gear is desirable.

This thread can be the main source for all things polo related in Falmouth and Cornwall.
If anyone is interested or has some advice please let it be known.
We're gonna need players and some decent courts. Know of anywhere?

The rest will follow in good time.

PM me for further details and let yourself be known on here too.

Cornwall reprezent.

Love that! You done a fine job!

So LA BM stepped it up on the stats. They were recording goals, assists, dabs (foot-downs) and blocks (saves). Impressive stuff.

I think all games were filmed, even those that weren't streamed, so there should be a lot of games up on YouTube/Vimeo to watch.

Standard was incredible. Very intense.

Toddy spotted playing polo in Penryn. Was it solo or have you recruited Todd?

Ha!

I had polo fever and had to hit some balls in the carpark.
How'd you know this? Alfie? He was the one guy who was riding buy and stopped. Just need to recruit...

What happened to Podium?!

Have fun y'all. Courts look splendid. Wish I was there x

Cool. I'm getting on it. Wonder when would be a good time?...

Sure why not. If it's a good court I'll consider trying to get an 'exhibition' tournament together. I need you guys to come over here and show people what's happenin'

Penryn.
The place where a man just cut his own nob off.

I might have found a polo court in Falmouth. It's part of a community sports ground which has a skate park and an indoor hall which they use for roller derby and indoor sports. Size looks good. Concrete mid height wall all the way round. Just need to check actual size and surface...

Put me on the list John ;)
