Bike Polo! Bike Polo !

Post by Gedigedi » 05 Mar 2011 16:46

Hey there,

As you've all realized, the snow is melting and it's about time to open up the Bike Polo season. I have not yet played Bike Polo here in Stockholm, but actively played in Glasgow, Scotland and the US. I am curious to find out how many people here are seriously interested in playing polo and maybe having a gathering/party somewhere in town so we can all meet and greet and make new plans for this season. I already know of a handfull of people eagerly waiting to get started and let's get the ball rolling.

By the way, my name is Gedi. I'm *new* here.

Bump!

I'm the youngest active polo player in Stockholm and I'm totally up for it!
Also, I have the mallets that we share in Stockholm - gives you a picture of how serious we are here! Not even own mallets... :wink:
Oh well, I'm game as said before!

Here's a couple links that may be useful... I'm sure you can search on lfgss for more and also think there are vid's on youtube on how to make them.

Thanks!
Thats the stuff I've been thinking of.

Does anyone in Stockholm know were to find it? Fredells = no. Bauhaus = nope. K-rauta = nej.

Gedi, we should go out on a teasurehunt!

I'm pretty sure that we have about four or five already malletheads just waiting to be built in our collective malletbag!
Otherwise I'd recommend just looking for places where they are laying new pipelines and see if there are any spares!

Found some old and worthless golfclubs while cleaning the basement. Were gonna throw them away but maybe someone wants one or two to make shafts. Pickup in Göteborg until friday, then they go into the dumpster.

(not entierly sure if pepole really uses golfclubs for shaftmaking, if not please excuse my lack of knowledge)
