Tournament this weekend!

2pm is the new 3pm

With winter fast approaching, and the days getting shorter, we are a bit upset that mother nature is stripping us of precious polo playing time! So we've decided to move Polo back an hour. New time is 2pm.

Swap meet and Polo

We've had a couple of fantastic weeks of Polo, with lots of new faces and plenty of fmailiar ones. Last week we had enough people for 4 teams of 4. An epic day of polo was had!

Yesterday was a bit more sedate, except for the (now usual) mallet breakage, and a bike frame being bent after Wally rode straight into a fence!

Next Sunday we're having a BBQ and swap meet before the game. I'll be bringing a hot plate and gas bottle and everybody is encouraged to bring something to chuck onto it! The swap meet will kick off at 2pm (Sunday 3rd May) next to the polo courts so if you've got any old parts lying around that need a good home bring them down. Who knows, maybe you can find everything you need for a complete polo pony?

We've been very fortunate to have the services of professional photographer Amelia Shaw for our last few games. Amelia has taken some simply stunning shots of the Brisbane crew in action (on and off the court). I've put a few here to give you a taste but to be honest you have to click through to see them all!

Polo now every week!

Given the fact that we all just love to have a cold beer on a Sunday afternoon, while talking some shit and hitting the courts. We've decided to up the ante and play some Polo every week! So scratch the dates I put up previously, because the rules are simple now: we'll be at the courts every week from now on a Sunday arvo at 3pm.

Plus we need the practice if we're ever going to take on our interstate Polo Brethren!

Hiatus

Sorry everbody for the recent lack of communications...

We haven't stopped playing, I've just been too preoccupied to post about it!

So to bring us up to speed about what has been happening in the Brisbane Polo world:

• Christmas visitors: Some of the lovely folk from Melbourne Bike Polo came to Brisbane and played a few games with the crew here. Although Brisbane scored more goals, bike polo was the winner on the day!
• Mallet building: Lots of the boys have been busy building there own mallets which is making it easier to have some bigger games (4 on 4... madness!)
• Gear Brisbane Tourney: With the opening of Gear Brisbane a small tournament was held with some lovely prizes thanks to Eric.
