Hey all. I'll be working in London for a few weeks starting next week. I'll be up hammerball as much as possible. Mid week only.

Thanks for organising and great to see everyone, big ups to team mates Ian and Woody for a solid performance.

One of the courts will be booked on Friday evening, probably 7-10pm.

Yes I have it.

Looks like Salman left his mallet, brand new Magic grip, shaft, head (green, purple, green) cut to 98cm. Anyone pick it up by accident?

Had a great weekend, thanks to everyone involved! Really looking forward to the next Bristol tournament!

Keep an eye on it:

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

The manager of the sports centre has made a complaint to me that alcohol, despite my request that none should be brought on site (and this includes consumed on the street or car park or suspect being even slightly intoxicated) is still being consumed and brought on site. We run the risk of the event being cancelled for Sunday and any further events we wish to have at this venue.

PLEASE NO ALCOHOL ON SITE OR TO BE CONSUMED DURING THE DAY WHATSOEVER.

Thanks.

I visited the place today, it's £10 per night for a 2 man tent. Has showers, toilets, BBQ area, washing machine and basic cooking facilities if you want them. Bring a lock to lock bikes together . Mention bike polo so he knows the source and price quoted. Should be space for everyone.

For those hoping to camp i've found a campsite in central St Werburghs less than a mile from the court, it's a bit expensive at £10 per head per night but will be great for those who haven't found anywhere to stay yet. Apologies for not having found this sooner but the place is not advertised at all.

I'm going down there tomorrow to meet with the guy and take some photos, there is also cabin accomodation. Not sure of prices at this stage but will update tomorrow. He reckons at least room for 10 small tents.

Weather looking good so far

It's not really cyclable on a polo gear after a tournament and polocat and session down the pub. Bristol is a bit rubbish for campsites, did you try the Caravan club on Baltic Wharf?

There is a Caravanning and Camping Club campsite between the docks Ann's the river near The Cottage pub, it's not near the court but is quite close to Saturday night's venue.

I'm a super awesome free agent for this if anyone is interested? Also, lovely logo Rich

Save the date people, Bristol are hosting a 32 team tournament on this weekend. Not much info at the moment but over the next 2 weeks we will be adding more info like accomodation and price.

Format will be usual Swiss rounds and then elimination Sunday.

Venue is St Pauls Sports Academy with 2 excellent large courts, smooth surface, shoulder high boards all round. The centre has shower factilities.

It's just occured to me this could be the UK Champs, would like to see discussion on this.

Sorry not coming, hope you get numbers.

Not coming after all.

I'm keen too for South or North tomorrow for a few hours. What time from?

Sounds crazy but i'm prepared to come from Bristol for this.

Did you just finish your paper round Alfie?

This has been taken now, sorry i'm crap at updating threads.

We are talking about doing an early Spring tourney but not a Winter one as the weather is too unreliable as our court is outdoors. We will probably announce this over the next few weeks. This is extra to the UK Champs if we decide to host that too.

Apologies we haven't met about this yet, mainly because we haven't played due to bad weather. I'll push for something this week at least for UK Champs.

I guess we need to know what month we will be expected to do this, something for the UK scene to decide on.

To comment further on court surface and compared to Hackney Downs and Brighton (University), I would say not as perfect as those painted courts, a tad better than Birmingham and much better than Newington.

Ideally what month are we looking at here? May?

This is sold.
