London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

Right, so after a few early mistakes and SO MANY date changes, the people of Cambridge are proud to be hosting a polo tournament on Saturday 11th July 2009 .

Depending on team numbers it's going to be the same format as the Oxford tournament the other week. The court we are using is very similar...



and is located here (with route from Cambridge train station)...

Trains from London run from Liverpool Street or Kings Cross. If coming from Liverpool Street you can alternatively get off at Great Shelford (south-east of the court on the map).

We're looking into accommodation for people who will need it. If people stay the night, we have throw-ins on Sundays as well at another court.

Please post in this thread or send a PM if you can/will/want to play. Also, send over a PM if you think you'll need accommodation for the night.

This should be really fun and hopefully a lot of people can make it.

Thanks,
All of Cambridge

Fast!

Trumpington Court.

Looks like a great setting!

Yeah, it's in a big park. There's also a skate ramp right next to it if people want to 'go crazy'.

Took my team off the list. Need to confirm - this is the same day as the Dunwich Dynamo. Jon may be riding for sure, and I've been hoping to do it myself... :(

That's great Hamatt, and everyone else. It's quite a way off and we've got some prepping to do but when people comfirm, start a list on here.

We're also organising a few events the next day as well if people are still around.

Oh, and there's going to be cake. Lot's of cake.

Nice one Hamatt, ha'way the lads :)

Hey Matthew....good to see you at Downham and have beers lastnight. You def showed throw in commitment by riding 4 hrs to get involved...good on ya!

Glad you've changed the Cambridge Tourney date too...cos im keen to bring a team up for a day of games + bbq + drinking + cake eating. Keep us informed of the format.

Also, be good to see teams as far as swansea and newcastle turn up....

talks of a national tourney next summer?

Yeah, I was thinking about that. Hope that does happen, i'm more than happy to help out in any way organising promoting etc....

It should be held in Manchester as we're pretty central :)

There will be a mention of it tonight at the London Assoc. meeting. Not that we're planning on running/hosting it but we are planning on making it happen.

Right guys, as this is getting closer it would be great to start a list of teams that can confirm. We want to get a better idea of how many teams to expect.

Roll up, roll up....

Newcastle - one team - no name - yet

A floor to sleep on would be immense as well...

1.TBC(Newcastle)
2.Rotten Apples(London)

not 100% on this yet, but leave rotten apples down for now.

I'm for it

Bump bump bump!

Please chuck your names down on the list above as soon as you can, we're getting closer by the day...

We're all ganging together to make this a great tournament and it's looking like it's going to be a really good day. Prizes are coming together nicely as well as other festivities (at and after polo)!
