Several posts in one here so please bear with me: 1. One of our legions of supporters? Come cheer for Oxford's two teams as they battle against the villainous forces of Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham in the first inter-city bike polo tournament this year. Interested in attending? Reply to this post and details such as venue, times and official train down shall be supplied.
2. One of the highly trained, fighting fit, honed to perfection, members of our two teams? I think that we should have some identification to differentiate ourselves from the other-towned barbarians. I suggest clothes in dark blue- most people own such garments, and dark blue is the colour of Oxford. Debate below if and/or which particular item of clothing this colour scheme should be confined to. Trousers- easier to see when down low going for the ball. Tops- less likely to be confused with other teams. Balaclavas- not so practical for high velocity sport
3. I will be driving down, so anything either party would like not to carry on the train needs to be dropped off at the centre or my house on Friday night.
4. RE driving down, does Cycle Oxford have bike carriers to rent and if not should we get some to do so? Could be useful on similar future jaunts or for other members. Halfords has some for £60, ebay have more around £40
