EHBPC 2010 Registration has been completed and sent in.
Now just waiting for the reply, so get practicing your french madames et monsieurs.

merci for the update herr allah - can't wait for this flipping snow and ice to go so we can resume poloing!

it's supposed to get milder this week - is everyone on for polo, weds 7.30 as usual?

Can't make it this week folks, hopefully come next week I will have assembled the grow pile of parts in my lounge into a recognisable polo bike of some discription.

Hope the damn snow forecast for Wed holds off for you.

polo tonight? anyone? i am itching to play soooo badly!

I'll be there in about 20 mins

dammit! forgot to check the forum for last minute updates!

NEXT WEEK!

Sunday is looking grey but dry, anyone around for a game?

i'd seriously love to, but i've already got plans. NEXT WEDNESDAY!!!

Here is the final ratio for every city interested in EHBPC 2010.
We have received 93 pre-subsriptions from 30 cities for "olny" 48 slots.
So..
There is enough space for 48 teams.
The names of selected teams need to be know by first may 2010.
1) Each of the thirty cities that pre-registered gets one team
2) Each city that requested 3 or more spots gets 2 spots.
3) Each city that registered 5 or more spots gets 3 spots.
4) The biggest polo community (and organizers of EHBPC 2009) gets 4 spots.

Anyone thinking of Polo this evening, weather depending as usual?

i'm in. i saw ben yeesterday, and he said he was in. i just texted fin to confirm too.

I got too much work on at the moment, but am planning to be there next week, its been a while. have fun tonight.

fin's busy too, so sounds likely only three will show - i'm out.

hope you get this in time dan lj -

wounded! was looking a little damp on the way back from work, nevermind, till next week

yeah, i'm desperate to play some games, but not that interested in 1 on 2, or even 2 on 2. (or even 3 on 2 really...)

anyone wanna push for a sunday game?
i rly wanna play and i should be able to bring some new riders down cuz i know there pretty interested.

sunday at 4? or 5?

i'm in for a sunday game, so long as we have four more confirmed here.

i bust my balls to get back into Digbeth last night, after receiving a text from Mr Wentskiing (thanks mate) - but sadly, my first appearance plans were scuppered.
If Aeronaught's Sunday ride doesn't go ahead this weekend, I'll be up for a game.

Firstly good work Hyper, great to see we have a place. Had a look the other night and still no finalised date, any news your end?

Can't confirm sunday yet but will keep you posted as I'm desprate to play. Pistaboy is the sunday ride not in the morning? I'm sure you'll be warmed up for those spints off the line on the polo court after a brisk few mile in the morning!!!

there's reference on the london polo forum to it being confirmed for 16th - 18th July.

I for one would like to make some headway with seeding so teams can be formulated for the spring uk tournaments and final selections can be made after those, so holiday time, flights/trains/ferries can be booked .

Can't make tomorrow.
(Haven't got any credit, sorry dan).
Wed!!!

UK Championships Manchester 18th April 2010:

i think it would be nice to sport two teams for this one.

Manchester sounds good, with any luck we'll get a game in beore hand...

So tonight snow forecast but if its dry - anyone? usual time and place?

i will deffo be there!!
and im pretty sure 4ndy will also be coming for the first time and im gunna try and bring another mate down who wants to play.

Yeah i'll be there. I've been meaning to try out for ages. I don't have a mallet though, i presume i could borrow one for tonight?

weather sucks!

ahh shit yeah, just looked outside after i posted that

Whats the verdict then folks, we gonna try and find a covered car park?

im up for finding a car park if anyone else is.
waterproofs on?? aha im just itching to play

I won't be in attendance, soon though soon...

Yeah i'll do that, meet up where though?

i think its normally NIA car park or somewhere but iv never been cuz it normally just gets called off.
its gunna be raining allot over the next few weeks so we should rly give car parks a whack.

looks fine now
Calthorpe courts 1930

Sound, sam could you message me your number?

just rode home and the rain wasn't to bad, shall we meet at Calthorpe Park at the usual time.

im there! gunna get waterproofed out incase of sudden downpour.

i'm down, ben is down too.

the nia is whack, let's just get wet.

Enjoy you crazy cats....

see ya all there.

gutted about my front wheel but it was so good to get back on polo tonight.
gunna try my hardest to get a new wheel by next wednesday.

yeah, fucking ace night tonight: everyone seemed to be on about the same level so the games were all good and tight. encouraging to see that goals are very rarely left unguarded these days too.

apologies to sam as he came off worse than i did in that tete a tete.

Really enjoyed that the other night, I'd definately like to come along next week aswell

I was speaking to Sam over Facebook earlier.. I'm thinking of popping over weather/bicycle depending on Wednesday evening if that's cool with you guys? Does anyone have a spare mallet I can use for a bit?

I've litterally never played bike polo ever! Is Wednesday night the best time for me to come along? Or is there a newbie friendly session at another time?

wednesday night is newbie-friendly. it was 4ndy's first time last week and he was fine. hyperallah brings a few spare mallets.

in other news, i have a new polo bike - may everyone crumble before my wheelguards and freewheel.

weather looks nice tomorrow - get to calthorpe!

Snow! what the hell is going on today, I can't even see the end of the street!
But I'm still up for polo tonight! Anyone?
