Let me know how the court looks. I have ice melt vs grit. It will leave no trace after it melts the ice. I will come a couple hours early if needed. I am a bit concerned the grit will be slippery

The snow is turned to slush here. I am going to bail on tonight, but I have 30kg of ice melt that I will bring tomorrow morning. I will arrive early and sort the court if needed tomorrow morning.

I'll bring a snow-shovel and broom to work, can someone in a car pick them up when they get into town? On Your Bike, 33-40 Bradford Street (it's just around the corner from Highgate Park). Also, if that person can leave them in their car, I'll take them back Sunday morning. Thanks!

I can pick them up.

Weather is supposed to be getting warmer, and even if it doesn't we're going to clear and grit the court the previous night, so let's get back on it!!!

Adelaide st. By the moon lounge

Found a great spot just around the corner from Highgate. Will send street name

I am headed to Highgate to take a look around. Should be there by half nine.

I had a thought...Play on Business Rates
There are many industrial properties that are vacant around the city. These properties have rates liabilities to the owners when not occupied (once occupied the liability shift to the lessee). If we setup BHM Bike Polo as a not for profit we could use for 42 days (shortest occupancy period to qualify for reset of the rates free period) and the owner would get a 6 month rates free period. The 42 days would be rates free and a not for profit is automatically given 80% rates reduction with the 20% remainder at the councils discretion. Of course we would not pay any rent or utilities for the space as the owner is going to receive the benefit of the rates free period.... still needs some work, but thought I would through it out to the group.

I am up for chipping in and giving grit and shoveling a shot tomorrow. Either that or we close a side street for "Essential Works" and play in the middle of the road. FINAO!!! I will be at HIghgate Park 9:30 or 10 tomorrow.

I am in for Sunday. Changed bikes, so I hope to spend less time on the ground this week. Working on building mallets. Have 6 meters of 2 inch ABS, but no ski poles. Made two mallets this morning - one with wood handle and one with a graphite golf shaft. I have found that there are not many places to get used ski poles in the Midlands.
