Changing bike polo...?
  • mechanic_steven November 2011
    Hey Everyone,

    Bike polo is on a Thursday at the moment but i think it should get changed to a Sunday.
    The reason for that is:
    1. It gets dark at 4pm so there is no sun light at all.
    2. The lights we got are not working at this moment.
    3. It may be a lot easier for other players on a Sunday then a Thursday (Collage or working during the day on Thursday) 

    We can start it at mid afternoon and play till dark, we can play on what ever court is easier for everyone. Marsh park is empty a lot of the times, can use the training centre to check over our bikes to make sure that they are in a working condition and to help minimize accidents.

    Tell me what you think we should do, all ideas welcomed.

    Thanks
    Steven

    I'd definitely be up for a Sunday. And playing in daylight. J.

    Ok it is sorted then, if everyone is happy to move it then we can start this Sunday?

    We can put it on the facebook page and anywhere else so more people know it has been changed.

    So are we going to say Sunday 1 pm at the training centre, 1.30 pm at the Marsh Road hardcourt? Or later? When everyone's happy I'll send an email out to the polo list.

    sounds good,

    as early as possible, so we get more time to play

    i'll be back on my bike on the 11th (ish) so i should be able to play then!

    I think we should start wearing helmets just for safety, One minute we could be playing calmly the next we could start slamming into each other.

    Or if its starts to get a bit competitive start to tell everyone to slow down, like Tom will tell you it does hurt when you fall of your bike and hit the ground.

    Lets be careful playing.
