It's the corner of Shield Street and Napier Street; I'm not sure of the postcode.

BIG NEWS! Just spotted a half-built structure which seems to strongly resemble the polo court of our dreams...

It's the same design as the football/basketball area in Elswick but much bigger - and it's right next to the city centre, here: http://g.co/maps/grf2c

Looks like it will be finished very soon but i'll keep checking. Can't know for sure until playing there but i think it will be amazing for us - and it could help boost the numbers having a place that's easier to get new people to aswell!

short notice much?...can play from 12 on Sunday though, with a new 7 inch mallet head!

i will be at polo 1pm until 3pm tomorrow if that is good for anyone else?

Yes i'll come on Thursday if it's happening.

Went to polo today. Nobody there. Played basketball instead. Is polo dying? :(

I can't play on Sunday either :(

Sorry Matt, really couldn't be arsed with riding to Gateshead tonight. Will be back on the steed this Sunday though - any more missed sessions and I'll be getting withdrawals.

Well indeed, unless you happen to fancy playing at a big, flat, perfectly fenced, floodlit pitch just outside Newcastle City Centre instead?

Oh, did i mention it's AstroTurf? :L

It might be alright seeing as it's not raining today though??

so we're not playing polo tonight then...

i'll be down for 5:30 but heading off at 8 tonight - can't do Cambridge tournament either unfortunately.

formerly known as mallet-depression.

Our glorious leader has returned from his seasonal break, but will he be joining us tonight?

6pm here: http://g.co/maps/srauy

that's the one!

Great session yesterday - some awesome skids! :p and good to hear Ed was winning the Bristol Open at the same time! Gonna go up to Elswick now til about 6pm so if anyone's in the area we could try practicing that new tactic Matt was suggesting. What was it called again? "pa..."?

Got an e-mail yesterday saying Newcastle Cycling Campaign and Transition Towns are doing a free film showing/discussion of "Beauty And The Bike" - about why teenage girls in the UK don't cycle - next Thursday 7:30pm at Jesmond British Legion. I'll probably go after polo as it'll already be dark by then. Dunno if anyone else fancies it?

safe as houses nigel. leaving in 10 minutes.

In Gosforth today so practicing at the usual courts from 5 til sundown if anyone wants to join.

Polo-ing at Gosforth - Sunday from 2pm and Monday from 5pm - anyone else?

Yeah I had a knock about at Fee's courts in July but they're far too small for a match and the fencing is raised in some places so the ball would roll out often anyway. Shame though because they're right near my flat.

I'm back from Leeds and up for polo tomorrow from 5pm. If anyone else is coming down early don't forget your pocket money for the £3.50 special. What's the verdict on playing at Edmund's Elswick Danger Court rather than Gosforth? I'm not really sure what this league thing is but we could be the A+ team if you want John.

Lucah was right with the court, but unfortunately i can't read directions so went to my favourite danger-wank spot/kids play area in scotswood/fenham instead which also has a polo pitch next to it.

Its smaller than our usual but for matts reference I love 'em little and a bit wide.

It is however a good backup if the two better pitches are busy, which Lucah clearly said are here: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Elswick+Road,+Newcastle+Upon+Tyne&hl=en&ll=54.973845,-1.640353&spn=0,0.01929&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=21.665954,39.506836&z=16&layer=c&cbll=54.968726,-1.640363&panoid=byJD7G5gpL7m7DvF6-1Jmw&cbp=12,184.7,,3,4.55

I've got free tickets to Leeds so will miss polo tomorrow and Sunday.

See you inabit then :)

I'm going to Elswick now for a practice then up to Gosforth for 2pm assuming it's on?

I don't half love neighbours like. Would of invited you round to watch with me but then I remembered it's a foreign show so might be shakey ground with you.

By Normanton Terrace do you mean the footy place next to Sceptre Street? I would have though it's a bit big.
