What time? 11:30 -12?

Polo today? Trumpington?

The Cambridge tourney has been moved AGAIN due to the Dunwich Dynamo ride and my incompetence.

It's now SATURDAY JULY 11th!

I've been looking after my friend's cat for months now since he moved to London. It's possibly the ugliest, most deranged cat in the world. My friend bought him a wind-up toy mouse but whenever the cat saw the mouse move he'd throw up. Everytime.

Yes, I am an idiot. I want to do dunwich as well.

How does everyone feel about the weekend after?

Is the plan to head to the beer festival after the 'ride' tonight?

I went there on Monday and had cider that smelled and tasted like pickled onions. It blew my mind in a really good way.

Hello everyone,

Us lot in Cambridge are having a tournament on Saturday 4th July. I just thought I'd post it up here in case a bunch of people didn't check the main forum.

Details are here...

Obviously it's pretty far from Manchester but we're trying to sort out some accomodation if people need it.

Anyway, sorry to spam your forum! Get in touch!

Matt

doo doo doo....

Yeah, it's in a big park. There's also a skate ramp right next to it if people want to 'go crazy'.

Fast!

Right, so after a few early mistakes and **SO MANY **date changes, the people of Cambridge are proud to be hosting a polo tournament on **Saturday 11th July 2009 . **

Depending on team numbers it's going to be the same format as the Oxford tournament the other week. The court we are using is very similar...

and is located here (with route from Cambridge train station)...

Trains from London run from Liverpool Street or Kings Cross. If coming from Liverpool Street you can alternatively get off at Great Shelford (south-east of the court on the map).

We're looking into accommodation for people who will need it. If people stay the night, we have throw-ins on Sundays as well at another court.

Please post in this thread or send a PM if you can/will/want to play. Also, send over a PM if you think you'll need accommodation for the night.

This should be really fun and hopefully a lot of people can make it.

Thanks,
All of Cambridge

Worse still, I was in Iceland when it happened with a xoupl of frozen roast dinners stuffed down there.

Yes! Bank holiday polo! When is bank holiday?

Haha!

So it looks like our plan is fucked. It turns out the London Qualifiers are infact that weekend and not the weekend before.

I'm fucked for that weekend (the saturday at least) but all good for the weekend after (but is everyone riding to stonehenge)?

What does everyone think?

As much as I love Eddie's poster, I do have a sweet spot for PDFs....

Not nerd.

Sounds dangerous. Awesome. I'll put a thread in the London Polo forum tonight.

Rad Up.

Also, does anyone fancy heading down there on Saturday to play for a few hours to see if we encounter any problems? I'm up for it.

So, Trumpington, 13th June? Any objections before we announce it?

I've been seeing a bunch of folk on them fixed wheel bicycles from my work window recently. In the last two days I've seen a guy on a stock fuji track with added helmet, about three red conversions (popular colour I guess) and a whole gaggle of Unipack riders. Red/Black and Blue/Yellow seem to be the in colours.

I finally got through to someone at the council regarding the trumpington court. The court is definitely not for hire and is free to use. He said that, as he was sure we were aware, it's for everyone and so we could use it and hope no kids come down to try and kick us off. He did also say that it is quite a 'low usage' court as well.

Point of interest - those courts are called MUGAs (Multi-Use Gaming Area). That's pronounced 'mugger'. Needless to say, when he referred to the Trumpington court as such, I did a little chuckle.

3 pints of Aspalls and £1,000,000

The only thing about the not following people rule is what if two people know the shortest route and go the same way? A tough one.

I am down for this though. And yes, wacky races sabotage. I'm currently building a machine for the back of my bike that squirts out oil and drawing pins.

if only your friend was a girl, she/he could have our steel falcon framed single speeder freshly built. pictures to follow when it's all bolted together for Lily thread, she is a beaut.

You can't give away my polo bike, no matter how much of a "beaut" she is.....

I wish I had no job. That's actually a complete lie but I won't be attending tonight.
