One's an old ladies mountain bike, freewheel with a new rear brake (needs adjusting SLIGHTLY), the other is a blokes small mountain bike, again single speed dirty conversion, with two brakes so could work for a lefty?

Collect from W8 5HN if needed? Just pop them back after (or whenever)

We have two spare loaner bikes for borrowing now..One right handed and one with two brake levers on still?

Any need? I can't bring them both down, but anyone can come get them and return them?

I have 21t fixed sprocket at the back, a shimano tigra brake now and pretty much just need 700c x 30-38 tyres. plus a kona frame, BMX deity stem and bmx strapped pedals..i just need decent long lasting wheel covers.

Plus how much for a pair? Would be interested in a pair of blue covers, but I'd need to know the potential thicknesses other than 0.75 and 2mm

Can you cut to 700c size yeah?

Can you do any other thicknesses other than 0.75 and 2mm? Would interested in some 1mm or 1.5mm ones...

Right, plan of action westies,

I've put this on the league thread as well..We'll be down at westway sports centre from 5 onwards on this wednesday (Thursdays normally, but a bit manic this week!) Will be there as long as we can (till we get thrown out basically)

So anyone who fancies it pop down and bring about £2 to cover court costs?

Alrigh? I know this isn't the right thread, but not a huge amount of people read the WELO thread.

First session of welo (restarted) is this Wednesday from 4:30 ontwards...pass on the message! If people could bring about £2 to cover court hire cost, that'd be sweet.

Tentative date will be the 10th, although from 4:30, I'll get back to you on this once i've got it more sorted, which can begin when I'm back in london!

I doubt I'll gather the relevant people this week as everyone is absurdly skint so courthire is looking unlikely..

I'm not here next week, but the week after, I'll get heythrop polo back on track..

i'll get some photos next thurs and put them up! Sounds good, sling away...

It's open till late(ish) i think, only issue being we'd have to play the higher rate, so we could shift the playing time till later (aka we'll get there 5ish and play till we get chucked out/have to pay more) and you can join us whenever you can?

Just checked their website, open 7am-10pm, so theoretically, you could pretty much arrive as you want..

It's fine, not rough at all, really nice to play on (similar to newington)

Right Westies, I have a plan. AND it's a good un'

For a mere £16 an hour (5-8) or £12 ('off-peak') before 5, the westway sports centre (we played there tonight and it is sweet) has a basket ball court for hire that is floodlight and covered from the rain.

Even if we got 6 people, that's pretty damn cheap for a polo session (£2 each off peak) and it'll get progressively more cheap more people come...

Plus they don't seem to check up unless someone else wants to use it...

I may talk to the management and see what sort of agreement we could come to, but how does this sound?

Maintaining thursdays, 4:30-7 play time? Anyone up for it?

Thanks to everyone for all the support we got, despite losing again :P, Really enjoyed the two games and really up for the next match, we've got another polo bike on the way (little luke, 'the bike figurene or something on the forum, is building some polo masterpiece in his shed, freewheel apparently) and with help from the union we should have another loaner bike made up by the end of march. Whilst big luke is building his up as well, josh is getting his sorted pretty soon! So soon we should be in polo shape. Really enjoyed our time playing polo so far, thanks again for all the support we've had.

Right, we'll be here for 3 till it gets dark (I might be down earlier, say 2) so anyone who fancies it is welcome to come for throw-ins then drinks?>

Daytime polo anyone? I'm free Wednesday and Thursday next week, so If we play say afternoon till about 5, we could get a good few throw-ins going? Any luck with lights etc..

Epic destruction of the lions! I think that was the second game no?

Anyone have the time for how long it took cosmic to score? Just for the record :P

Yeah we will! Throw ins are awesome..

Cosmic vs. Heythrop Lions

5 - 0
5 - 0
5 - 0

UK Champions vs The team that has played exactly 2 league matches. Lol, I'd say we did well to hold on as long as we did...

So far we play at hurlingham (no lights) and we'd be well up for playing westpolo again...

I've got at least 4 -6 who come regularly, what day is good for everyone? Generally we try and practice thursdays (not next as we have a match) but maybe one after? There is some form of lighting at hurlingham, but might be at a tennis court...

Anyone know anywhere else?

And we did have a great time! Cheers to Los contos! Polo Rocks!

Yeah, next thursday at hurlingham? Sound good? We'd be up for that or tuesday! We are based in kensington but play in shepherds bush

As for the sub issue, I don't think it's going to make a massive difference for the entire league nor set a precident. We scored 5 - 0, 5 - 0, 5 - 1, not exactly a 'league changing result'. As newbies we were pretty unaware of how it works and los conos didn't object at the time. In our next match, we'll stick to the three players we bring for the game only.

For total clarification, is it the case that whilst you MUST have two permanent players, you can sub between matches rather than games on the third player?

it's a well known fact that you can NEVER have enough bikes... As luke says, we had a great time and we are well up for the next game! I think credit is one word...an alarming degree of optimism is another! ha!

Cheers to los contos for a great game, we had a brilliant time even if you did slightly smash us! The atmosphere was brilliant and we'll definitely be down for throw ins.

We are completely up for a west revival..
any ideas for where to play? Someone mentioned hammersmith? Ravenscourt park?
