The Hobo Tournament and playing times

Sunday the 27th of March was a bittersweet day for Brisbane bike polo, the day of the "Polo or Bust" tournament and the departure of our dear friend Erin Giuliani to London. Some excellent photos and recaps can be found on the gold coast and Sydney polo websites; sydneybikepolo.org and fixiegc.com Autumn in Brisbane is one of the best occaisions for polo, players will be at the Musgrave park courts from 2pm, with games playing until sunset. We have amassed quited the arsenal of mallets that can be borrowed, so if you are a prospective player, there is no excuse to get down there. If you dont have a bike, someone will lend you one. Currently we do not have the facilities for night games, there will occaisionally be the odd spontaneous tap around at the New Farm powerhouse, but nothing set in stone. Meeting new people and having fun is what polo is all about, thus we are going to start a local recruitment drive using posters and flyers in local bike shops and bike parking areas to get some new blood into Brisbane bike polo and encourage rookie games during pickup on sundays.
