Me, Oliver and Ed are playing at the Elswick court in 10 mins if anyone is about. Nobody was up for Shieldfield.

Could just have the winners' cup and losers' plate like in rugby sevens? For polo style call it the winners' shaft and losers' balls?

Back to Newcastle Bike Polo

Who's playing Wednesday? I'll be there from 5:30pm.

Last practice before we make sensible look silly. :p

Colin is having a clear-out at the Manchester tournament...

Sounds good. So do you not have to be a new or improving team to take part, it's just like a losers' plate?

What's an "up and coming" tournament?

1pm tomorrow.

I don't know, sorry, you'll have to ask him.

Oliver had offered to drive me and Ed, but his car can only fit three people with bikes. Can get all four of us in your's?

I might be able to make it for about half an hour if you're still there after 8:30pm. I've got the old wheel back on and switched the slick tyre to the front for better turning speed. It was great having 6 players last night; we haven't had that in as many months! It could be the start of something...

Right on. I'll bring the cake.

Thought you meant set up a match at Hillsborough for a moment there Ed!

Feels like christmas with all the polo family coming back together. Hope everyone can make it tomorrow night. :D

Also, JACKIE'S BACK-IE!

It's not you, it's me. Honestly Andrew, we haven't spoken for months and I've got to admit I have been dabbling in other obscure DIY underground sports. Long distance relationships never work...

Join the The Moss Side Millennium Powerhouse Library Cry-Wankers!

In case anyone missed it among the jokes...

Lucky I caught Matt just before he'd gone home! Shame there was only us two though.

Can anyone play Wednesday between 5:30pm and 8:30pm?

Nice one. The court looks swish and I do hope one of your teams will be called The Moss Side Millennium Powerhouse Librarians

Rob - As far as I know, there will be two Newcastle teams but nobody is planning to stay over.

Steve - Yes, I'll be there by 1pm. Caine's In, Oliver's Out. Anyone else?

Also, there's now a Washington (Mackem not Yankee) bike polo team on the go! :D

...and i hope everyone has seen this: http://www.facebook.com/events/319240108148383/

Yes, I see now...well if they don't have enough people for their own championships and want to join then it should become the "UK & Ireland Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships" and UK&EI HCBPA too. It would be reactionary to make them just come under the UK banner as Ireland is a separate country (Up The Rebels! Brits Out! etc...).

That would be great if they think it will help develop the sport.

I can be the Newcastle representative, unless anyone else is eager? @Oliver/John

I think they should have their own national championships, unless they have asked to merge and make a UK & Ireland HCBPA and Championships? If not it would be impractical to have them as visitors because they would be taking places and/or matches away from competing teams.

Correction: It's pissing down. :p
