Travel from Cambridge to Oxford can be a pain. X5 allows bikes, according to someone who has taken their bike on that service.

Else I'd say train to London then Oxford tube bus might be the cheapest way

The buses to Oxford from london are called oxford tube and oxford espress

Both run about every 15 minutes along a route from Victoria, and you can pick them up at a few places along the way out west. They run all night and do a day/next day return ticket.

Each bus takes 2 bikes and will occasionally take more if you're nice. I've never had a problem getting my bike on.

I'd get off at the "St Clements" stop on the way into Oxford, as it's close to Cowley Road and only 10 mins from the court.

Car Park on corner of Marsh Road and Cowley/Oxford Road:

I think you can also just park on Marsh Road or Crescent Road, there is no permit system

Manchester (and everyone)

If you're coming down and need somewhere to stay just email tournament at bikepolo.org.uk and we will get back to you.

See you next weekend!

don't worry zoe we could clear the worst of it with a big brush! It's actually a pretty good surface. Better than that car park anyway...

Good to hear people are making plans for this. We're starting at 12 so people have time to make it from wherever they are travelling. That should give us 8+ hrs of daylight to finish!

There is a small ish basketball court with mid height sides which we'll use for the tournament. Because it's fairly short we'll probably be using the built in goals instead of cones. There is also a set of old tennis courts next door with a decent surface to mess around on.

ok I've been in touch with Matt and apparently something went wrong. Fair enough.

I would recommend emailing him if you want to know what's happening. His email is above.

I've emailed the organisers, so hopefully an explanation will present itself.

It doesn't seem fair, but then a first come internet registration will never please everyone, people will still miss out. Except those pre-registered of course :)

as I type this it's 12:08 BST and 11:08 GMT! I agree putting noon should mean noon but bear in mind the site is for other time zones too

1.Manchester

1. Cambridge
   
2. Oxford
   

12 noon GMT would be 1pm BST. So an hour from now?

no, it says 12 noon

I hope registration didn't open early....if so then Manchester Cambridge and Oxford won't be attending!

Everyone from Oxford says thanks to nes and MCR. We had a great time!

We're hosting a mini festival on May 10th, all welcome. Polo tournament followed by an alley cat, fastest mechanic competition and gig!

Hey Nes and MCR crew, can't post on the Manchester thread and not sure my emails are always getting through. Our teams are as follows:

The Toffs
Corusk8 or die

We're planning to arrive for 12pm on Sunday, so if the time is changing please let me know asap! Or could someone tell Zoe (zoo) who will be there on Saturday so she can pass the info on?

Looking forward to it
