Landslide · 19th February 2013

I see that UWE students will be on vacation from the 15th to the 26th. Maybe there's some space in the halls? If only there were someone "on the inside"...

Landslide · 19th February 2013

Also, there seems to be a distinct lack of beer sponsors compared to previous years. I hope this will be rectified forthwith.

almacabra · 19th February 2013

Anybody needing a third for the tournament?

I can give you references if needed.

bundai · 20th February 2013

almacabra I PM-d you..

skoota · 21st February 2013

Luca is out Frax is in. Dead Rappers do like a Frenchman eh Mayeut? :)

euljeune · 22nd February 2013

Thanks guys, looking forward to this!

gabes · 22nd February 2013

I might ride up for this and spend a night camping somewhere. Would be great to catch up with polo peeps!

skoota · 22nd February 2013

yeah man, do it.

Landslide · 23rd February 2013

Lansley Minor · 26th February 2013

Hello,
We've now upgraded to 28 teams. New teams have been added to the list.

We've still got some on the waiting list. If anybody has to drop out please can you let me know as soon as possible so that places can be offered up.

Any updates to team names / composition then let us know. Thanks.

diceface · 4th March 2013

Acapolo need a 3rd! Applications on a postcard!

snottyotter · 4th March 2013

Postcard with a palm tree and a pineapple on it?

O'Shane · 4th March 2013

And a beach. No beach, no polo.

DutchieBullSheit · 5th March 2013

I'll be in Europe for a couple of weeks, looking to play some tournament. DutchMaster on LOBP and HCBP.org. Originally started to play in Utrecht, Holland but since a year playing in San Diego and Los Angeles. Solid tournament finishes here and looking for the same in Europe. So if you're looking for a third hit me up...

diceface · 6th March 2013

Have you got a Hawaiian shirt, Dutchie my man?

DutchieBullSheit · 6th March 2013

That can be arranged..... Hawaii is still a six hour flight from here :P

DutchieBullSheit · 6th March 2013

Let me post a third time and check if i can PM / reply / spread a DutchDunkeyPuntch ....

DutchieBullSheit · 6th March 2013

Oef Masterdam Bristol is a mere $100 (yes US$)

Khornight2 · 11th March 2013

Is five miles for camping too far?

This is the nearest official campsite I can find:
http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/re...asp?revid=9801

I'm willing to wild camp if others are up for it?

Glowbike · 12th March 2013

DutchieBullSheit · 12th March 2013

Nice ;)

sanyi · 12th March 2013

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?

Khornight2 · 13th March 2013

Landslide · 13th March 2013

Tentists.

Khornight2 · 13th March 2013

I'm now wondering if I can attach my tent to my bike and call it a caravan?

All the gear no idea · 13th March 2013

I don't know how it would sit with peoples budgets for accommodation, but a very convenient place to stay would be the Full Moon Backpackers Hostel. Not only is it very close to the courts, it is looking very likely that we will be having the Saturday night bash there. There is talk of them setting up special bike parking on site for us and providing catering. They can accommodate up to 70 people in various room sizes. http://fmbristol.co.uk/full-moon-bac...rs-hostel.html £17.50 for the night.

Lansley Minor · 13th March 2013

We asked there, but it sounds as if they're fully booked. If anyone finds out that's changed please let us know, 'cause it really would be ideal.

DutchieBullSheit · 13th March 2013

Just checked for a double... taking my girl with me.... if you know what im saying... if booked any good pointers?! Cheap fun and cool preferred although my budget is not a limiting factor.

http://www.rocknbowlmotel.com/ looks like the best bet. It's pretty central, has a good bar, and has bowling. It looked as if it was as cheap as anything else (£17ish per night?).

If anyone's going for it it might be worth seeing if a group can book a room together. They're limited in the number of bikes they can take though.

Sorry. Missed the

bit.

Anyway, it still looks pretty good.

DutchieBullSheit · 14th March 2013

It does indeed... just booked it... :P

Khornight2 · 18th March 2013

What time will polo start on Saturday?

Lansley Minor · 19th March 2013

9am start, I'm afraid. We're only able to keep the court on the Saturday until 4.30 so we need to make an early start to make sure we can get it all in.

andytk · 19th March 2013

Ouch. Is it much of a ride from the train station to the courts?

Lansley Minor · 19th March 2013

Accommodation
We're just starting to work out what accommodation's available in people's houses. If you would like to be accommodated, please can you let us know as soon as possible so we can work it out?
I'm afraid there's no way we can house everyone. If there's any special pleading that you'd like to put to us that's fine...
Thanks.

Under 2 miles. Takes about 5 to 10 mins.

andytk · 19th March 2013

Thanks

skoota · 19th March 2013

ticket booked, coming in friday night.

gabes · 19th March 2013

So nobody's camping? Meh. Can I crash at someone's house then? Thinking of riding up sat and back on Sunday.

lightbluejosh · 1st April 2013

Gettin wild might be out,

alfreddo · 4th April 2013

I'm looking for a space actually... I've been talked into going if there's room on a team... If you're sorted, anyone else?

Ooh, does this mean I get to meet the famous apollo? I hear he's the size of three men and can save goals from the centre circle with his mighty reach.

apollo · 5th April 2013

time for me to start managing expectations?
