London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

polo aint happening out west, you're all pussies.

i take that back, only murtle is

4 weeks and counting.

The West London Polo social group has three members.
Dante, Hael and myself.
31 - Will you please join so at least there is the theoretical possibility of a polo match.

thats really amazing prav hats off well done! ;)

...it was Dante.
You're smiling now aren't you? DTM.

grrrrrrrr, i have joined , only because it was group 31.
now where's my ra-ra skirt and pom poms

hahaha! Hael has the cheerleaders at his flat... you can pop round later.

I'd love to try my hand at polo, don't have the bike for it though but if anyone lends me theres I could give it a go :S

came east and your dreams will be reality

funny how the posh part of town doesn't play this posh-esque game.

aint nuffin posh abaat polo you fukkin caaaaant.

Stop talking, start playing.

Don't worry Prav still here and into it - was hoping to see you at drinks West last night to sort out a suitable day / hour / i was thinking of a weekday which would mean evenings probably and would hope to get the ball rolling (literally) when the days get longer - we could do a weekend day time but conflicting with Mitchison Road and Brick Lane? If you can swing by drinks west next week we can woop it up and organizize.

Hael's only a member so he can find new places to turn up and drink. You'll never get him to play.

and me

Everywhere you go is a drinking venue Murtle.

Hockey, on bikes, have you east end urchins gone totally mad!

I suggest that if you find a nice court and call it for a Saturday, some of us might come over for it.

Would be worth the trip for comedy value alone - west Londoners playing bicycle polo!

They won't let you travel past Vauxhall, Bill - your picture has been circulated to the relevant authorities

Sorry I can't be arsed to read this whole thread. Mike and I might be up for coming to West end polo during the week, maybe, sort of, might...

they gots to find a court yet, roxy.

mike and prav and them were playing west a few months go they had a court...

yeah, i know but the ground is the roughest surface ever. very hard court/peddle dash gravel.

I'm learning to play, in theory I'd play out west too... depending on day/time...

Still wondering why no-one plays on monday? I'm usually over my hangover by the time I leave work...

oo how about this?

Inspired by Ray, made possible with boredom and google maps.

Nice work spag!

1, 3, 8, - will investigate
2 - St Marys CofE schol
4 - Colville primary school
5 - looks like no lights here.
6 - Avondale place primary school
7 - Cardinal Vaughan School
9 - St Pauls Girls school

I will try and do another recce this weekend, including the places suggested earlier in the thread.

As things stand we are playing tuesday evening at the court right next to west beers.
Yes it is very rough + bumpy... but it has 24hour lighting and a great echo!
If it looks like awful weather we could move it to Monday?

im good all week except wednesday

this thread is dead... come on guys get on it!

West london are so lame!

west london poo.

you missed an L

Fail.

yeah for losers!

you owe me some

are you coming to mitchinson tonight?

yes
yes
yes
yes
yes

ha! Murtes hows the rar rar skirt coming on... you fluffed your pom poms yet?

They already play grass polo near fiddys house on a tuesday. pretty well established according to Dr 14. it clashes with football but i am in for west polo now the whip is finished.

What day you thinking? I know a few other cyclists around this way that would be interested.

Dante and I are meeting at West Beers Pub 1900 hrs for practice and recce.
...so yeah... whatever.
