Woah, what happened to the timing? I thought it used to be 6? I'm only saying because I happen to be cycling past on the way home at 6ish.... but you won't be there....

Another time maybe.

Hi everyone - it's been a while but it looks it might be raining tomorrow. I was considering doing my full cycle in which actually takes me back past the court on the way home, but maybe next time. Hope you're all keeping well.

sorry, I'm out now, too much work to do.

Sunday 28th pre-derby polo derby

Hmm, today is the first day I've cycled all the way in from Rubery. Looking at Calthorpe Park it's actually on the Cycle Route 5 I took in this morning. Wondering if I'll ever feel up to doing that one day and then 'popping in' for a bit of polo on the way home. Given how shattered I feel now from my ride in, maybe not!

Okey doke, thanks Dan. Anyway, maybe catch you one Sunday soon, or a Wednesday - the winter season must be coming up when you use the other court?

You having court sharing woes on Sunday too now? I assumed it was just a Wednesday thing... Not sure if you saw the pic of the basketball court where I've moved, at the back of my house in Rubery. I l know it's a way out, but if you wanted to try that I could scope out the best, quietest times...?

On another note, what make is the hard ball you've used when I've played with you? Where did you get it? Not the rubbery one that tends to stick under my mallet (I'll blame my tools for poor play, yes).

If by away you mean Glastonbury, crikey no. And glad to be away from the mud, thanks.

But I can't make it, you're right.

Are any of you aware of the location here: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.4813668,-1.8842161,292m/data=!3m1!1e3

It's out the Digbeth side of Millennium Point and is the site of the new HS2, but at the moment is largely used as a car park, but with lots of wide open area. It's all concrete, floodlit, and, from the side where my work's window overlooks it, looks like it has enclosed 'court-sized' areas, like a pool shape - it might just be perfect for bike polo on occasions when the other court is being used...? I know it's a bit further north, but not much. Just a thought.

The only issue might be access. I see students / skaters there sometimes but I don't know if it's public access or gets locked up at night.

If there's a mallet shortage but somewhere we can borrow from, I'll have my car so could pick some up?

Thanks for the warm welcome and bike loans yesterday, had great fun. What time do you generally finish playing on Sundays? Reason I ask is because some Sundays I'll be free from around 1.30 onwards and in those cases if you're still around it would still be worth me coming along...

What time do you tend to play til on Sunday? I may be free and I've just bought an old bike to sort out and use. I'd just need a mallet.

would love to make tonight, but alas, it's not meant to be. Next week I think I'm good for Wednesday.

I'm assuming with only one other person in for tonight, I'm out too. I was going to have to pull out anyway I think - I've been trying to find out if it's on in Wolverhampton this Saturday as they're more local to me, anyone got contact details for them?

I have total trust in the weather report, saying it'll stop at 8. Anyway, my mobile is 07747164135 if you end up doing the pub instead.

Aw, but it's reported to be improving at 8 - no rain from 8 onwards! http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/birmingham-west-midlands-conurbation#?tab=fiveDay&fcTime=1401836400

I'm trying to ignore the rain hammering it down outside and assume it might be better weather this evening.

I just wanted to check, if I come along would someone be able to lend me a bike and mallet please? I know I mentioned it above... I've been scouring ebay and gumtree for possible secondhand mountain bikes to convert at a later date. Thanks.

Wednesday Polo - 6:30pm Highgate

Okey doke. I'm guessing it's kind of weather dependent too? And is the best place to check in with everyone? It seems to be where you organise your meetups?

Would this Wednesday (4th June) be a good evening for a newcomer? I've never played before, don't have a single speed bike, mallet, etc, but would like to give this a go. Do you have spare bike/mallet I could try with please?

I actually live near Wolves, but work at Millenium Point so could drive over on my way home on Wednesday.
