Sam, as you are aware I teach. After work is best probably without students is also best.

If Taxi says no to the Polo cranks I will say yes.

And it seems that Fen Boy Three play 10 Eyes as well as Rotten Apples.

1,500 frankins enough for future generations to play polo until the end of time.
Cambridge Bike Polo workers co-operative?

Boagey, you will pay shipping, tax and VAT on it all so the price will be higher. You need to factor this in on the costing. I would also wait untill you get the final bill before giving a price due to pound losing value against the dollar.
Sorry to be a killjoy.

Ok. Also found these http://www.paragonsports.com/product/Franklin-Sports-NHL-Extreme-Color-Balls-15-pc-assorted_10551_100515241030-1.htm

Have just checked and reckon I can get hold of some Franklin's in NY. How many are we after? They ar $10.99 for a pack of 3.

Ok, having spoken to Josh at Polo last night I am going early Saturday morning (6am) to London with Josh and Devon. I presume we will then eat a large breakfast or in Devon's case a whole snickers bar before meeting the people who cycled up on the Friday. Hopefully we will be able to navigate the mean streets of London without getting punctures, mugged for our Rapha or lost before heading down to Brighton. The worst part of this will be getting through London. Once in Brighton we will find Devon a park to sleep in for the night whilst the rest of retire to a hostel. Josh and I spoke of leaving Brighton fairly early on the Sunday to get back to London by about midday or a bit later. Everything will be shut as it is Easter Sunday and has to be. From here I may get the train back to Cambridge depending on how I feel and the time. I do not intend to stay in London on the Sunday night.

What are other people doing? Is this doomed to fail? Do I need to cancel my order for a pink custom cashmere lined Rapha tarp?

Have registered 'The Barndoors' if 2 other people need to use that as a name. I see it as a very loose collective of anyone else who is not in a team and likes the odd game of polo.

Tarp sounds like a good idea!

I have looked and I can't find any 'Tarp' on the Rapha site?

If it is the easter bank holiday weekend I am in and will join Devon and Josh on the Cambridge-Brighton epic. Barndoor all the way to London then chill the last 55miles to Brighton.
Would like a hostel room though Bogey's choice of Hotel is good. Have stayed there before and it is very nice, he and Baker could have plenty of fun.

I can come over bringing single malt and biscuits. Will also work alongside the dictator.

I was speaking to the fox about producing a newspaper for the tournament using these people http://www.newspaperclub.co.uk/ it would cost £120 for 100 copies. I am going to give it a go with students on the New York trip to see what the quality is like but could be a good way of spreading the polo word and giving people the chance to get pictures, recipies, poems etc... published. Could even give a team preview of every team entered. I reckon we could get the cost covered by a number of local sponsers. I am happy to co-ordinate this given that I will miss the tournament. Any views?

Lots of it here bt looking more like sleet and not setling.

I can make Manchester if any teams are short. It looks like a great trip.

Hopefully the weather will let up. I am away for all the tournaments this year but am happy to be a sub for any team missing players on team night.

I would do team night

The handlebar shots are fantastic, I really like the transitions as it looks like people just appear in Jim's vision.

I have an idea for the trophy. Does anyone have a space hopper they no longer use?

I'm in, even given current non attendance. This will force my hand. Is a team night going to be seperate to the Tuesday/Sunday?

It sounds great! Agree with Types about the cakes, much better to rock up with wine and stuff and then claim the kitty.
A seperate Summer and Winter trophy would be good.

I am in as well. Had an email back from Simon, 'Can you make sure all Cambridge Fixed are aware? It was great having you lot come en masse last year.'
Also the more of us, the better our chance of defending the title. Especially if we get Hayden signed up.
£10 per person.

A great turnout last night which no doubt swelled the slush fund for court hire. As discussed last there is a proposal for a two tier payment system which appeared to be agreed upon. This is as follows: Up to 9 players = £3 subs each, Over 9 players = £2 subs each. This is to reflect the reduced playing time available when the numbers are higher. This payment system will also allow monies to be carried over if/when numbers go down during the colder months.
If anyone has a major issue with this please let me or types know.
Anyway hopefully the turnout will remain high in the coming weeks.

Mr Fox,

Enough for 2 in exchange for beetroot?

Anyone would think there is a film festival or something.
