Thank you to everyone for your kind remarks, I am incredibly happy with yesterday.
Thanks to all the people that drove me around in vans, built bikes and mallets, helped build the court, flyered the city, painted chalk boards and all the rest!!
I have plans for bigger (and smaller) things in the future.

Thanks to Brooks Saddles, Red Bull, Smear, Archies Gro Bags, Hell Yeah, Brick Lane Bikes, Moving Target, Shoreditch Trust, Travis Perkins, & Max Knight.

Sadly the chalk board didn't make it into the van, so I could use a bit of help filling in missing scores. Could you guys check out here, and let me know the numbers I'm missing?

My pix are here:

Great Tournament
Just want to echo what everyone else says. Massive thanks to Roxy for pulling all this together and to all those who played their part in it.
Was an awesome day and the quality and intensity of the polo was brilliant and exhausting. You all deserve fuckin medals.
Excellent photos too.
Big thanks to fellow Mallets of Hazard Shinscar & Jol. Has been a beautiful effort.
Great Tournament

Is this some sort of Freudian slip that 'Roxy' is the only thing capitalized in that sentence?

Or just BAD typing?

ok that's cool, just wanted to be clear.

To All
I was getting all emotional before and thinking about being on the brink of something really incredible. This community is fantastic and I'm really proud to be a part of it.
I am happy to put the work in when the support for doing such big things is so strong. Thanks to everybody who supported me through the months of planning this event. Super big thanks to my flatmates and Mike who have been doing the cooking and laundry and bringing me lots of cups of tea for the last 3 months while I sit in front of my computer or talking on the phone all night.
Obviously an event is nothing if no one comes, and how amazing is it that we had teams traveling to come and play here?!
So thank you all for coming out yesterday!!

Thank you thank you!!
