People are loving Mitch in the posts above. I wanna experience it!

I've been drafted by a London team and we were owning last night. Grudge match!

will be there 5:20ish

Trust me, I'm abysmal. I'm only making up numbers in the Open so my Berlin team-mates can play. I feel so bad that I'm going to let them down but they keep reassuring me it's fine so it's just public humiliation I have to deal with now! ha. I'll send you a message when I get to London.

Are ill pigs wearing furry pink 'onesies'? If so you will by default, no tourney needed

I didn't know this. Thanks for explaining. I thought the fenced court was going to be used as well, or just for practice games?

Team games at Downs or Newington? Seems wise to practice where we'll be competing no?

There's team stuff at Newington, is that separate?

Or everyone should just get proper names like Norman, Gillian or David which require less abbreviation

I may have been persuaded to play in drag but luckily I've been hired by #sckbrn

In Birmingham we've never (to my knowledge) had any face/head injuries and noone wears a face cage. We play just as aggressively.

This is not to say that it's probably wise to wear one if you feel it's safer. Just stating a fact.

daylightbummings is gay

Will have to change my avatar. People might recognise that I'm Triangle Guy

Anyone thinking of going to the Bristol tourney, 17-18th September?

May be able to twist my mate's arm to house 3 of us.

Had a look at train tickets, got £25. That's buying 2 £12.50 singles. Am I doing it wrong?

#sckbrn's third didn't work out so we still need someone...

pm-ing

Same here, don't have my bike. Up for playing tomorrow though if teams need people to play against

Are you playing at Newington? Can get there for about 12

Jokes! Photos or it didn't happen

If essex polo doesn't happen I'd be up for some games tomorrow

Stu, you abdicate from ill pigs and now you have no team? Whaaaaat? I might be back in London early so I'll hit you up for some practice (need it badly).

There was no abdication involved. Practice sessions via webcam wouldn't have been practical.

Yeah, I'll probably go to a few more NE sessions btwn now and the open. Come along if you're around

Spreadsheet updated

Anyone looking for a 3rd team member for the open? Can do practice sessions this weekend and next week

Hello.

I am quite alright at polo and need to join a team for the open please. I am old school but I can mix it up with the kids. I was ranked a C by John H at the ABC but I would say I played more a B-plus.

You know you want me;

Alexis.

Hi Alexis. I'm looking for a team as well. If spikes (see above) is up for forming a team then we have the required 3. Can you do a few practice sessions in London this weekend and during the week?

I have front + back brakes and fixed on my polo bike. I used to put my feet up on the frame all the time because the gearing was so low. Was riding to the court once when a jogger ran out in front of me on a blind bend. I slammed the breaks on but because I was only using my arse cheeks (and hands) to balance the bike I slipped forward off the saddle, the bars turned 90 degrees, wheel buckled and I ate some tarmac.

So now I have a freewheel for the commute. But riding slower or having foot retention to keep me riding slower would have saved me that smack to the head.
