Bike Polo // Sunday 27th January // The Barn // 11:00
  • islipawayislipaway
    Given 'Thursday Night Polo' is a bit misleading as we probably won't be playing Thursdays...

    Who's still up for Polo and what's your availability? If we do start playing again I'd like to get something regular set.

    1. islipaway: Weekdays after 6pm, Weekends any time.
  • conn_artistconn_artist
    I'd be up for playing but am in edinburgh a lot at these days at the weekend as my girlfriend lives there. cant do wednesday as play football but will keep an eye on things and if I am free I'll play.
  • bobby_w
    i've never played before, don't even really know how to, but i'm up for it! i'll only ever know when i'm working a week or two in advance though.
  • GetafixGetafix
    I cand do Wednesday night Friday nights are a possibility and weekends at a push. Although during the summer months Thursday nights will be possible.
  • frazzrfrazzr
    Id love to give it a shot, although i dont have a clue or an appropriatly geared bike/mallet
  • denmancentraldenmancentral
    I'm sure we can provide spare mallets to anyone wanting to have a go. Don't worry if your gearing is a bit high, at least until you get addicted and build a specific polo bike! If you are interested, add your availability to the list and we'll have a beginners night or something.

    1. islipaway: Weekdays after 6pm, Weekends any time.
    2. denmancentral: weekday evenings, weekends

    6! That's a game.

    When you get a night sorted, a couple of folk from 'Burgh are keen to come through for a game.
    Polo!
  • mechanical_vandalmechanical_vandal
    I said in the other thread that polo was being discussed that I was up for it but I'll say it here too!
    Uni work and trying to be a freelancer kind of prevent me from having a regularly available day but by the same fortune, I have no day that I'm NOT available.
  • islipawayislipaway
    I'll see if I can get a hold of Derek.
  • gedigedi
    Try to get a hold of Ben (Hathair). He's got my old bike, or at least most of it. I'm sure he's up for some game. If I wasn't living in Sweden now, I'd be totally up for it. The hardest part is to get people to come and play. We're starting a team here in Stockholm and just ordered 6 frame-sets for the team, check these guys out http://airwalkfixed.blogspot.com/2009/12/bmx-frame-restock-now.html it's $200 shipped anywhere in the world. Geometry is based off of the Milwaukee Bruiser. Next time I'm in Glasgow, I'll come out for a game. : )
  • islipawayislipaway
    Wednesday then? Who can make what this week? Friday seems a bad idea but I can do Fridays.
  • denmancentraldenmancentral

  • GetafixGetafix
    Yep, yep, yep I can do Wednesday. Etap?
  • frazzrfrazzr

  • islipawayislipaway
    yeah etap, not scoped out the other court. 4 is a sorta game, I have 2 mallets and I think a ball somewhere...
  • GetafixGetafix
    I've got a ball and I can bring a couple of mallets. Finlay really wants to come so there might be 4.5 players.
