12 o clock start again tomorrow? Weather's looking fine for May Day polo. Full morris dancing regalia and erecting a may pole on the centre spot are a must for this season's polo afficionado.
-
Also, what are we doing about the wood for the cladding? Are we buying anything in or do we have enough already? A mate of mine just called to say the cheapest boards would be O.S.B which is the stuff they put around the outside of building sites and so on.
-
How far have you got with them, Josh? Could somebody else relieve you of your duties? Personally I don't see much point in making 2 sets of expensive goals that might not last much past the tourney.
-
'Trade account'? No. But the builders merchants are generally cheaper than B&Q for that sort of stuff. Travis Perkins/Jewsons/Chandlers/Covers...take your pick. You don't need to be in a 'trade' to get stuff from them. Just tell them what you need and see if they can help.
There are specific plumbing suppliers too - normally found on trading estates. Not sure about Brighton but there are a couple in Newhaven that have proved pretty useful (and affordable) in the past.
-
sigh you guys! Working in morning, purely out of disrespect! Think Mrs Kaos is planning an appropriately disrespectful all day mash up at ours so probably not going to be able to make it tomorrow. Got to keep her sweet so I can do Wednesdays and Sundays innit. Wish I could be there to help test the new helmet and pads. Gutted!0(

Beer. Almost in my yard. I can collect. Wednesday or Thursday best for me. Let me know.
-
Food stuff. We need to give Danny a list. No mad panic I guess - easily sorted towards the end of next week. Danny, have you had a chance to speak to Infinity or whatever purveyor of fine non-meat products we're going to use re the shamburgers yet?
Wood/cladding. What wood are we using? Are we lining the whole of both courts? Or are we just going to clad the 2 sides that have the sticky outy poles, and of course sort out the corners and behind the goals? From memory, each side measures 29 metres. I think Friday night should give us enough time to get this sorted. Less chance of our handy work being damaged/nicked too! I've got chop saw/drill/hand saw/tape measure/cuddly toy/blankety blank cheque book and pen...
Speaking of which, how are doing with prizes etc?
-
Josh is making the goals as we speak. Any help Friday night/early Saturday morning at the courts would be appreciated!
-
There's something about goal dimensions in here:
-
Forecast is looking good. Should be able to get to PP for about 3.45 this afternoon. Is anyone able to get there sooner to intimidate the school kids/grab a court?
-
Cheater mallets?? Ball joints?? Duh....
-
12 works for me. I walked past that gravel the other night and wondered what it would be like for slidey polo?? Dice, does the cage come with a gag option?
-
I should be there by 3.30/45ish. Dice, have you got my ball?
-
Why not just have it quickly at PP straight after polo? I'll be riding back to the landrover in saltdean so the less faffing the better as far as I'm concerned. Julian can get away quicker then too.
-
Nothing too dramatic, but a mallet made contact with his face, knocking his glasses off and cracking them twice, and leaving in it's wake a nasty cut on his brow with immediate swelling. Definitely a nudge towards playing in helmets me thinks? Tim, they're not too much on eBay. Now I know I'll get reimbursed, I'll do a bit of research and sort it out. Never heard from bloke mate re balls payment?
-
Also, after Dice's 'incident' yesterday, would anybody else be up for chipping in for a decent first aid kit that we'd always have at polo? Just in case innit.
-
Can't do Mondays or Tuesdays due to work and not living in town. Wednesdays and Sundays for me it is.
-
Just a suggestion, but how does everyone feel about starting a bit earlier today? A mate of mine is wetting her first born's head from 1. Obviously polo has been prioritised, so I've skipped lunch, but I'd really like to try to get away by about 4 at the latest. So was thinking a 12 o clock start would mean I'm still able to get 4 hours in this afternoon and get to the celebrations in time afterwards before baby starts kicking off and they have to go home. 1 is still fine by me if noone else is up for it - just thought I'd see what the response is??
Thom/Josh - hope to see you there today.
-
Didn't make it into work today so might be up for it. Feeling a bit groggy (self inflicted) at the mo but as you know, the slightest sniff of polo and I'm anybody's.
-
Good fun this afternoon, despite the shower. Getting our skids on like pros!!
