The Greeks ruin polo; again

Hey guys, it's paniyiri time this weekend (may 21/22). For those who don't know they hold a Greek culture festival in musgrave park. It is the 1 week of the year we can't play at the west end courts as it is taken up as a car park.
We can play at another court or carpark but I'm thinking the southbank underground carpark will probably be full due to paniyiri, so another court might need to be found. There are some nice courts at northey park herston, and Dan was saying there are a few on the southside.
Alternatively we can try new farm powerhouse again; I know they aren't particularly keen on having us around (we got kicked last year for drinking/ruckus making if I recall), but if we behave we might be alright.
I know it's kind of geeky; but there are a bunch of guys who do jugging in newfarm park on sunday afternoons from 1. according to their website "Jugging is game that has been described as 'Medieval Footbal' it is played by two teams of five players armed with and assortment of padded 'weapons'. The aim of the game is to get a foam 'dogskull' or 'jug' onto a spike at the opposing end of the field while preventing the opposing team from doing the same."
Their website is http://www.jugger.org.au/What_is_Jugging.html.

Me and Kristine went and watched them last year; it is actually really fun to watch and the guys are really friendly.
Open to suggestions though, spread the word that west end is off this weekend.
