its amazing after all this time people still don't have mallets.

tomasito · 2nd June 2008

Do you crazy kids mind if i join in the fun? I've only played polo once, badly, when the OCW crew came down to Clapham Common and we made the evening news....but would like to play a bit more.

Object · 2nd June 2008

Which reminds me. I'm going to have to make a new one soon. Mine is rather bent.

I beleive it's an all are welcome event.
You may also like to check out the South Polo and possibly even the west polo (once it's started) as they'll be a little closer to you.

tomasito · 2nd June 2008

i live right around the corner from this one in stoke newington.

(Sorry - I realise my previous post possibly implied that I live on Clapham Common - not true!)

Object · 2nd June 2008

In which case ignore my post and drag your ass along.

Mike[trampsparadise] · 2nd June 2008

I have four mallets.
And this is definitely an open invite for anybody to come out and play.

brain-flick · 2nd June 2008

I enjoyed my first two games of polo yesterday, I'm up for coming along but I might have to do the next one. This Tuesday doesn't look promising. I will also need to borrow a mallet.

What I do find strange though is that some people are still asking HOW to build mallets, and are planning to build wooden ones...

Object · 2nd June 2008

And that was from the new improved "nice" Aidan.
Imagine what he'd have said last year.

Buffalo Bill · 2nd June 2008

I preferred the unadulterated version. Then I don't feel so bad when I push him off...

:-)

aidan · 2nd June 2008

maybe i was a bit mean...when it comes to polo theres no place for being nice.that includes the building of mallets.
now get to it bill...you witnessed an engineering master piece yesterday.

smallbrownbike (matt) · 2nd June 2008

i will bring a few mallets down.

dont suppose anyone picked up a hockey ball in brick lane yesterday? i left the white one there.
i may have a spare though

runcible rakan · 2nd June 2008

uh, the white one we were playing with was mine

Mike[trampsparadise] · 3rd June 2008

If it's raining like it was on my way in to work this morning... No.

Guess we'll just have to see how it goes. The metoffice says no rain this evening...

Object · 3rd June 2008

Definitely can't make today. The wage slave in me is required to work.

gabes · 3rd June 2008

if you're planning on going to JOL's court, I walked past it this morning with the dog, it holds a bit of water when it's been raining, I'll pop past again at lunch time, have a look, and see what it's like...

JOL · 3rd June 2008

Shit, hadn't thought of that.
FIngers crossed.

runcible rakan · 3rd June 2008

le car · 3rd June 2008

le car · 3rd June 2008

matt (baddesigner) · 3rd June 2008

calling goals with no posts might be tricky ...

matt (baddesigner) · 3rd June 2008

jumpers for goal posts?

le car · 3rd June 2008

traffic cones. we'll find them. need the correct spacing too (narrower than Brick lane)

JOL · 3rd June 2008

I reckon if we have a by-stander up on the side they can call it.

thisisrob · 3rd June 2008

Yea yorgo me and mike had that descusion the other day 2. need to make them smaller.

Shinscar · 3rd June 2008

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...,0.006845&z=17

past this last night long traffic posts on stands and a bit of blue tubing... anyone free to pick up. i will pass that way on to polo...

Shinscar · 3rd June 2008

on alie st

gabes · 3rd June 2008

there are some new road works about 30 metres up the road (ufton rd) from this court, they were setting up this morning, sure we can borrow some bits from there...

smallbrownbike (matt) · 3rd June 2008

not sure i can make it tonight
But if someone wants to pop over, i have about 2-3 mallets spare (the rest are going to trixies), ball and 4 cones. and a bike with extreme polo gear.
119 shacklewell lane., though im sure you know that by now

le car · 3rd June 2008

damn this rain. I don't mind the wet floor but won't play if it doesn't stop raining

Buffalo Bill · 3rd June 2008

I am in - if it stops before 7pm. I am sure it will!

M A X · 3rd June 2008

runcible rakan · 3rd June 2008

Sano · 3rd June 2008
