Daaannn!! hope you heal real fast x

I really want to go cycling/camping in France this year and check out a tour stage
and
I really want to play polo at the Euros in Geneva!

It's such a shame I can't play polo on my road bike and I definitely can't manage those hills on my polo bike.

I think we'll go touring in France again some point this year, but unfortunately probably not at the same time as le tour/euros. Sounds like a fab idea though and definitely worth checking out a mountain stage.

Are you planning on camping? If so, we've probably got lots of tips.

So, where is everyone staying? I've just sent a request to book Hotel Eden. Anyone else staying in a hotel?

Are they donating prizes to an event, providing equipment, sponsoring a league, paying a reasonabe modeling fee....?

I'd hope they weren't sponsoring our league as this is something we have decided to keep 'owned by the players'. There are lots of players who want nothing to do with corporate involvement etc.

Its up to organisers of each tournament whether to accept prize donations, and then up to individuals whether they want to take part or not/ or accept prizes. Same with this I guess.

At the Paris tournament, lots of us refused the free nike T-shirts we were offered as part of the player pack.

I refused mine as they were only size XL. If it was a S or M, I would've had it!!

• we’re more than happy to include team names*
  
  

even ours?

I'll do it ...as long as Nike aren't claiming to be part of the whole London Polo community/have involvement with our league etc. As long as its just individuals/ certain teams i'm fine with it.

I got to sit next to Dave and Emilié when we flew to Munich and they were both asleep before we'd even left the runway!

:)

sorry i didn't come up to play, i was busy being a housewife!

Ray, you now have first dibs on the 8pm slot... we're going to play our fixture another day!

morning hops - nice to catch up with you on the new car park they have built on the northbound side of waterloo bridge.

ha! ..and I wish they'd turn their engines off, I can't breathe by the time I get to Strand!

this ride is gonna be intense.

ha har!

I'm thinking of going just as an excuse to use our tent again. I highly recommend the terra nova laser competition tent, weighing only 940g. Described as a "1+ man tent", it comfortably sleeps 2 people who are very close! It was perfect for me and Dave for 2 weeks in France :D

Los Conos are playing BAD on Wed 20th, 8pm Newington.

eta 7.30 for me... can't wait after no polo in over a month!

Yeah, do it Biancha!

:)

Turd, I don't think Newington will be playable. When I went past last night, there was still a lot of snow (although it was like wet snow that we could have swept off rather than the icy snow it was at the weekend). But after last night's snow, its going to be a massive mission to make that playable today.

I could be persuaded to play at Peckham - need to go home first to get bike and mallet. Thursday is better for me though..

T-boning is not acceptable but obstruction and slowing players down is a great way to start playing polo.

hmmm.. I wouldn't advise 'obstructing' as a great way to start, as you're the one more likely to come off worse! I would advise finding a space on the court instead, so team-mates can pass to you.

^^ exactly sarah. As much as I liked the idea, i had visions of people booing cos we were taking up the court. Best do it here...

they'd only be booing when you score a goal from a ball-joint. hah!

Los Conos v BAD : 11am Sunday 17th, Newington

A&J to confirm

enjoy karlsruhe as karlsruhe, not the league on tour.

...and more games to play against people you wouldn't normally play against/with.

and more games for those not able to get a place and are just going for throw-ins :)

I rode past Newington last night and half of each court is still white, but the other halves are almost dry. I reckon if it doesnt get any colder than it is now, it will be playable by tomorrow. (Although there could be a big puddle in the usual corner when it thaws which we would need to clear).

I'll check again on my way home tonight.

:(

...but thanks for checking the court Brendan!

Sarah...You and Dave in for Peckham tonight?

maybe, just posted on other thread...

I haven't got the polo bike with me, so I won't be playing at Newington tonight. I reckon Dave will persuade me to play at Peckham though.

Los Coños v BAD is scheduled for Sunday morning at Newington. Have we got the 'weather permitting' caveat on there? ;-)

bad vs polonium 210 15-1
