Hi, finally back from a long summer with some news

Me and some guys from uni have just spoken to the Student Union today about starting a Bike Polo Club and now we are gonna have a stall in the Freshers' Fair next Thurs and Fri.

We have penciled down Tolworth sports centre tennis courts (which is part of the uni) as the location for weekly games.

After the Freshers there will be a meeting to explain the details for anyone in uni who is interested in joining. It would be great if some experienced players could come around and give a short talk about the game. It is gonna be on 2nd Oct 6-8pm in Kingston University. I don't have internet access in the new house at the moment but do email me I will try to check it frequently.

Cheers

built my first pair of wheels and enjoyed a nice sunday afternoon
E_F_C is really friendly and helpful, would really recommend it to anyone who's interested in wheelbuilding

i would post photos of the wheels but am caught in the middle of house moving at the moment..

Ah was wondering if you all would be going back to the parental home for summer... none of you live vaguely nearby?

Still gives hope to what I thought was a bit of a fanciful notion... perhaps Kingston could have the first University Hardcourt Polo team? ie uni funding?! Do you have a sports soc? Would they be able to get you grounds/storage/pads?! Just a thought. :-)

i'm flying home in early july and coming back early sept. think some of us might be around during summer tho. i've started a facebook group and posted the link to the forum so they can be updated about upcoming events

and we were thinking about exactly the same thing, starting a bike polo club in uni would be wicked. i'm looking into this, already email'd the student union for informations

next year in kingston polo will be the new football!

good games everyone.

I'm glad you Kingstonians all had a go, tcman, luke, tom, helen, derek(?) and another lady I never introduced my self to..

good job for remembering most names! derek is myself, and then there are scott and grace. grace just wanted to watch the game but got dragged in to play at last. she didn't really like the idea of riding with a mallet in her hand (been off the bike too many times even without one ;) )

tcman, I've been thinking about maybe starting a SW polo night... what do you think about it? Find a court in Kingston, Dante's from twickenham, and I know a couple of others around wimbledon might be up for it...

SW polo sounds fantastic! we had the similar idea on the way back yesterday
definitely up for it
we'll part for summer very soon, that'll give us time to put together polo bikes and get better
and then back on the games in september

it was so much fun today!
i think all of us enjoyed the afternoon, and so did i albeit skinning half of my knuckles...
thanks for letting us have a go on your bikes guys

now we're all gonna spend summer practice swinging golf clubs on bikes..

so is it gonna be in the big court in the park then? can someone tell me where exactly it is?

Is anyone up for a bit of west polo tomorrow? My girlfriend wants to play and fears the embarsing wooping she'd get if we go north?

Me and 4 to 5 other boys and girls from uni are planning to give it a first go at WeLo this coming Monday. Only two of us have got fixed though. Is the kick-off at 6? Anything we ought to know before taking the 7mile journey?

size of the bars please?

WOODEN that break fairly easily? ;)
(oh geez look how good i am at this)

+1 on the horrible typeface
i taped over the 'plug's on the downtube straight after i bought it
they just don't line up
but the worst bit is the 'charge' across the TT/HT which i still haven't dealt with yet..

DISASTER!

i'm quite interested in the campag seatpost and nitto...

Yep, June 20 is good for me too.

so 20th it is then? i'm gonna place my orders...

Thinking about getting a vanilla Charge Plug, and popped into Evans to check sizing. I'm 6ft, but the small seemed about right. The stand-over height of the medium was pretty much non-existent, am I missing something here, as other 6ft'ers are debating whether to go large or medium?

i'm 5'7" and small fits me pretty perfectly. there is this apparent short of SO height (just about an inch) but it hasn't caused me any problems so far

was it armourtexted? if so which RAL is it?

@tcman/fried Chicken i'm planning on doing the stonehange ride on the 21st, u guys ok for 20th?

yes 20th is fine for me

piano lessons, graphic design

1. kx.001
   
2. Jacklamusica - am very keen, 90% sure I'm free on the 14th
   
3. Nick G - if I know where!
   
4. tcman - maybe
   
   

well up for it but will be in cornwall 12th-15th.. plus have to source parts
any chance to do 21st instead? i can do weekdays as well since i'm on practically on holiday now..

the gf has been lusting after a fixed gear ever since i got mine
she's about 158cm a bit on the short side so i guess probably a 49cm frame
would be nice if it comes with BB and HS as well because i don't have the tools handy
preferably blue or cream but i guess i can always armourtex it later..

offer of whole bike welcome too
