OK.... what time are people gonna be getting to St Retford tonight....? can't be bothered waiting around on my own if i go straight after work.....

looks good... i can forsee somebody being slammed into those goal post tho.....

I'm gonna come down to check it out after work... not sure how much polo i'll play as i won't have my polo bike, but i'll come down for a bit for a beer and some much needed sun.... if anyone's unsure how to get there i'll be riding from town after work sometime after 5, if anyone wants to roll down there with me just give me a shout.....

M6 to B/ham then M1 to London normally seems to work... or ask this guy

(sorry... but you were asking for it...)

Who the hell is jonathan day?

Could be some good polo parts going here. I'm up for it

Yeah, be worth a look.... When were you thinking...?

there are trains to Trafford Park from Oxford Rd if you really can't be arsed to cycle... but it only about 4.5 miles.. so not that far....... looks like the trains back to town are pretty infrequent tho'...

I just got forwarded this at work, It's for a new company selling bike stuff, haven't really look at it properly but it looks like a load of no name product being sold at about what they should cost, the offers supposed to be just for my company, but if anyone actually wants anything i can get it for you..... this is the blurb i just got....:

I like the idea of using something quite manchester specific, that logo would be a pain in the ass to print on tees and stickers just cos of the number of colors involved... i think a 1-2 colour solution would be better (and cheaper), something like the Netto Fabulous tee kind of idea.. but manchester & polo related...

Like this but with "MCR POLO CREW"

Just put a few photos up.... lots more to trawl thru and sort out... will do when i get a mo'

http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixel_fiddler/sets/72157617983422576/

Ok... well lets have a chat about a MCR logo on Tuesday... i won't be doing too much playing as my bike'll still be fucked... Come with ideas.....

Did i read that we have to wear helmets for this tourney...? or is that the EHBPC...?

(crosses fingers) please let that be EHBPC otherwise i need to buy one tonight.....!

oh... ran the name CantGoSloPolo past craig, he was ok with that, i'll mention it to Amer as well just to prevent any political fall out down the line.... we wouldn't want to be accused of not telling people our intentions would we.... ;)

Right then.... is there anything we need for tomorrow....? I'll see Amer and get a CGS tee for Mirek, then i need to get a sleeping bag... is there anything else we need to take?

Is anyone taking waterproof trousers? do we reckon it's gonna piss down? can anywhere recommend some cheap/good waterproof trousers?

Snoops said he'd registered a Manchester team....

This was from the munich thread in the london polo section. Who has registered from mcr then?

We can only have 3 teams in total, who's going then?

whitworth:ste

Ste, by all means check Whitworth, but i reckon it'll pretty much defo be too slippy....

have we decided on a place to play later?
do a vote:

whitworth:ste

Plattfields:

Or controversially Chorlton.....?

one of these?

Wardamercy who's here on LFGSS found one and "fixed" it... sure he could let you know any issues he had....

http://wardamercy.wordpress.com/2008/06/10/rise-of-the-raleigh-scorpio/

Looks like this now...

I'll get something similar, but can't be bothered swapping tyres over and back again plus those marathons are a **real **pain in the ass to get on....

Use your marathon plus!

Yeah that can work... i'll just cycle down in the morning on my polo bike....

Anyone got a 28c tyre to get rid of....? i need a new one for my rear wheel before oxford... if not i'll buy something tomorrow night....

I can pick up Mirek and bee at yours for 7am. Adam any chance you could cycle to ste's (you could leave your bike in his house/shead) over the w'end. Saves me driving into town.

We'll sort out all the bikes and who's going in what car at Ste's. So far I only have Adam and Mirek in my car, so i have space for one more.

I'll come round later mate, i need to sort out a new head for my mallet before the w'end.
