Rich, you can come in the van with Liam and I.

Knockabout today?? Gimme a shout, I have 8 mallets and a ball!

Liam has got a van from his work, big enough for everyone's bikes. Maybe big enough for extra passengers if they don't mind sitting in the back.

Nice if you have the cash and connections to do so, a bit shit if you just want to play polo then come home.

Uh-Oh. Planned engineering works between Haywards Heath and Brighton on that Sunday. This means a bus to Haywards then train onwards. I'm not sure if we'll be able to take bikes...

edit: I just looked and the train companies are under no-obligation to provide space for bikes and furthermore it says this on the National Rail site - "Engineering work may affect train services. Non-folding bicycles are not allowed on rail replacement bus services at any time. Folding bicycles are accepted if fully folded."

So that's us fucked for Sunday travel.

Perfect. Thanks eggpie, 23rd team too...

Make that 3 teams from Brighton.

We don't have a name yet but the third will consist of Ben (ex-Manc), Paul & Liam.

Wicked! 3 in a row! Another smashing session boys, well done all. Nice playing with you Ben, looking forward to BFF.

Polo Polo Polo at 2pm - The weather is lovely!

Bring bikes, mallets, friends and beers.

We need a presence to secure a court for the duration so come looking your meanest/friendliest too

The fixie haunt in Brighton seems to be the Fiddler's Elbow on Boyces Street, a little lane off West Street. There's a big long fence outside where you can lock quite a few bikes, that's probably got something to do with it. It is an Irish pub too, so that's Guinness (and good local ales) locked-in.

Rich, son, I am disappoint. You know a raggo fixie beater is better than a Boris bike!!1!

edit: remember Landan town jaunty riding after The Open......

Hi Ben,

Please do come along on Sunday from 2pm. The courts in Preston park are where we play.

There should be enough bikes and mallets to go round, a wee bit of sharing never hurt anyone :)

We're a friendly lot in Brighton and as Rising knows us Btown polo boys are on here regular-like and are also truing wheels with frightening regularity then I put forward the case that this was, in fact, a good place to ask this question.

That's just my tuppence ha'penny worth though.

Look how much DB space we're taking up debating the point. Isn't life funny like that?

Two good sessions in a week with good attendance, I'm liking it! Can we do the triple and get a good Sunday in?

Thread reopened. Don't be so harsh benjam. Robin, there's a truing stand and dishing tool available for anyone to use at Cranks on Chapel Street Fridays and Saturdays. Get you some!

I'm not sure how we'll top last night's spur-of-the-moment epic session. One thing that will help is everyone please bringing the mallets along with them as our mad dash away from the carpark last night left them in various hands.

The ability to play a game is directly related to how many mallets we have, capeche?

Alright calling Wednesday session. 5pm Preston Park. You know the score: 5 - 0!

Have a look back and see how this game is played, Lewis ;) No need to give away hints if you think you've got the location locked - get out and snap it!

Never fear Nicholas, your career is at least as important as polo.

It's dry today, anyone feel like a knockabout?

I've asked to be considered as a free agent for the tourney unless some of you other Btown boys think you'd like me on your side. I'm toting "previous competitive experience" as my USP ;)

As a Brighton player I am ineligible to play with the other Btown team that's up as Rich and I played together at the open. Please may I be added to the list of free agents?

My headset also loosens itself in this manner. I have a little trick though - I tighten it up when it's loose! When I'm riding I just use my gloved digits, no need to fork out for expensive tools that way. I haven't come a-cropper.....yet.

There we go, managed it. Only with a massive hint, I add. Lovely blokes there, they gave me one of your cards Robin :) One thought I was against the clock as I was out of breath from stonking it along the top of Hove Lawns moments earlier.

Sorry for the faux vintage pic. Us hipsters with our fangled iDevices eh?

Owlix & Captainkaos - Please do come along on either Thurs or Sun, we are a very welcoming lot and it would be awesome to have new players :) Watch the board here as I will usually put a "yay or nay" type post up 1hr or so before starting out.

JonoMarshall - We are a pretty loose group (calm down) at the moment and we often struggle for 6 to play a game. I have heard that polo pretty much died over the 09/10 winter here due to lack of venue but the boys and I are making our darn'dest attempt to keep it alive this year. Thermals and mittens will be donned before long I expect. We fielded one team at the open, you must have seen us get mullered ;) but there was a great atmosphere and it spurred us on. We will be putting in a showing at BFF and would welcome any forum to discuss the advancement of a national association.

We love polo we do!

Robin, any clues to where your last pic was located? I'd like to start this thread going again :)
