    Ive not been able to make the tuesday nite ride for a couple of weeks now due to an evening class im taking at the moment, and it looks like i wont be able to make it for a little while to come. I was wandering if any of you chaps are up for going for a spin any other nite of the week around about a simmilar time? Even if its just over the next couple of weeks, Id just like to keep in touch with everyone and keep meeting the new people from the forum!

    Well, I'v never managed to attend a Tuesday, but thinking long term it might be worth another day of the week for Polo. Not really sure where I am going with this other than, I'll attend - I'm new. Also we need a day for polo maybe this could gradually become that day if that sounds cool.

    Yeah turning this night into Polo night sounds like a good idea. Sunday and Thursday both work fine for me. Thursday more so I'd say.

  3.  quote

    Yeah id def be down for this. As i was saying in another thread im now working tuesday evenings so would def be up for another night. I think thurs is good by me, i have a strange feeling iv arranged something for a thursday soon but i cant remember what and im pretty sure it was a one off so thursday is good for me.

    krakow:Are we going to have a fight for 5th place?

    Sorry. That's my bad. I edited Dickies post to put him as number 5. instead of just "5. Dicke?" Sorted now. The mice can be put away.

    EDIT: Actually that's not my fault. I changed the other one in Fixed Beer. This is Fixed Beer II. This is confusing already.

    I don't think I'll be able to make it tonight. I've not gotten as much of my thesis done as I'd wanted to. I'll see how I feel nearer the time though.

    I probably shouldn't come to this tonight because I'm quite far behind where I wanted to be with regards to writing my thesis but I'm going to come along for the ride. I'll head home when we get back to Big Slope.

    Tonight was alright. Rained at the start but stopped quite quick. We found a Polo location. It's not so much a court though. It'll do until we get something better and it's close to the Partick court so we could always go to the Partick court and if it's in use we could head to the other court. It's the overspil car park for the old transport museum.

    I'm allowed out this Thursday woohoo. I'll probably have the car though to accommodate all the polo mallets, I'll bring out some gaspipe too.

    The forums doing that indented thing due to quotes at the moment. I'll add masel to the list later.

    I'll be showing up to Mansfield park Thursday, no point in going to The Slope and then going back when I live right near the park. Should be good if we get some more people. I also have two clubs ready to go. I might even go out for a little practice tonight. I'll bring some balls.

    if we are not there we will be here:

    Also I might be a bit late, I need to go to B&Q and pick up a bolt and some other stuff, head home - finish mallet then head out, so I'll probably catch you guys at the park.

    The weather is looking distinctly unfriendly for Thursday, worse than it was on Tuesday according to the Met Office. +40 MPH gusts and very heavy rain!!!
    Might stay home and dry if it is that bad.

    Weather keeps changing every hour so we'll see how it really is around 6pm.... so will it just be four of us then ? I saw some cones laying about the park also so maybe we can get a little mock game going. I will most likely be bringing two mallets. Anyone else got 'em ?
