tonight is at Ikea Richmond (Vic Gardens) from 6.30pm onwards


last tuesday was interesting, a guy who used to play bike polo in the UK 30 years ago came down to tell us about the good old days of 1:1 bikes, bars only a few knuckles wide on the right hand side for room to swing a mallet, and popping monos to catch and control high balls. what what

Looks like the tennis courts at Flagstaff, still TBA I think. Should have an update after tonight.
I don't know why it's taking them two days to host a tournament. Can lend a bike and mallet if you play on our team

Bumping this for the weekend, there are a few people coming down from interstate so it should be good. Not many players have registered (online at least), but there are heaps of prizes up for grabs and there will be plenty of spare mallets around if you want to have a crack at it. And beer.

There's going to be a big party afterwards.
