    Hey guys, 
    Polo tomorrow at Cherwell School at 6 PM, we need to get more people turning up each week!

    If you got any ideas how to get people coming along then let us know. I think also as grass track has change days so that some of the student might not know that we are there on the Thursday. also most of the players that used to come are not around any more or are too busy studying or working.

    But Tom if you got ideas then post them, like one idea is to make fliers about the sport and ask to leave them at bike shops or any where that will take them. Or we could make a video and post it on Facebook or You tube so that loads of people can see what its like.

    That flyer idea would work and i totally agree that we need to get a video out, though we'd need lots of people for that! 
    Maybe we should film polo this thursday and then film the alley cat and create a Cycle Oxford bike video...?

    We can do that, i might be able to get a video camera so we can film some shots or use my phone as its HD 12mp camera so the picture will be good.
  • TomMTomM September 2011
    Ok, well i'll be in the workshop on tuesday so i'll talk to dan about filming the alley cat then as we wanted to attach some cameras to my bike a few months ago but didn't have enough time! 
    That should work, just need people to turn up now! :)

    If we can spread the word then more people will turn up to polo and Alley cats, which will be great.

    If anyone ever fancies playing more than just the thursday just let me know. It would be great to play more, whether we can all play one Sunday afternoon every so often, or a couple of people playing 2v2 or drills at marston/marsh park. Im going to try and get to polo on time too..what time does the first person (steven) arrive, is it feasable some of could play a tad before 6pm!?

    It's normaly me that arrives first i get there for 5:30 to set up for 6.

    I would play another day, Sundays sounds good for me.

  • TomMTomM September 2011
    i could get there for anytime after 4:30! And i would defo be up for playing before 6 on Thursday as we tend to stop being able to see the ball at around 7:15 ish...?

    I would be up for sunday games as well. And i have 2 mallets, so can lend one out if needed.

    Don't forget there's also the website and a GroupSpaces email group (32 people on the mailing list so far). I'll send a reminder out tomorrow if Thursday's weather looks OK.

    The LFGSS Oxford contingent are trying to get a regular-ish pub night going:

    If you're free casually swagger in with a mallet swinging from your hip and see if you can get some new players.

    I'm bringing my video camera and a tripod this thurs- planning to get a decent polo vid up! :)

    Hi,
    Yes, I like the idea of Sundays (in daylight!!)  I could do Sundays from November on.

  • TomMTomM October 2011
    I can get to polo early tomorrow if anyone wants to meet up... (from 5 onwards...)

    I have a ball and 2 mallets.
