London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

be there in a bit

don't bother going.

so the situation with newington is as follows.

The light box has a padlock on and the timing for the lights is screwed. However you can gain access via the side hatch and reach into the box to flick the main switch. It's a bit of a squeeze but is do-able.

A really nice lady who works for the council came around yesturday to chat about the incident with the kids. She has connections with the council and can get them to sort the timing out on the lights if we want. We said leave it for the time being as we can still do the lights manually but if another lock appears then we have a lead to follow.

Regarding the trouble with the kids. She said to first call the police (they have a local patrol so should be really quick to respond) then to contact her if anything happens again. Try and get a description of some kind of the group. She patrols the area (with a few other people and police back-up if needed) talking to any groups of kids they meet so is likely to have contact with them before.

Nice one dt. This sounds positive.

dt, sounds like the same woman who was actually there last week; she talked to the guys hanging around about an hour before they attacked us. She also talked to us, we passed her name to the police, hoping she might be able to help identify them.

It would be good to have a contact number for the local patrol - did you get one? If not, i can ask at the station tonight.

yep, same woman. She spoke mostly to louis. She asked if he could confirm they were the same group but he couldn't.

Don't have a number for the local bobby, if you get one can you forward to me.

it seemed worth noting from my iphone after souths one night. i like it.

Anyone want to play some South polo tonight? We've got two already! (ooohhh!)

There's going to be some people from the Guardian around who are doing a piece on South London bike stuff, so the more southies, the better I imagine. But I don't think that precludes us Northies/Easties/Westies!

Yeah, my mallets still attatched to my bike from Saturday so I will see you there...what time you thinking?

also if anyone has any piping they could give to us I'd be greatful.

Show up 6:30?

I've got some piping, Aidan. Will toss it in my bag.

Pass on the message to anyone you can think of in case they don't read the thread pre:Wednesday.

I'd be in for a bit of southies polo tonight, I'll go and pop a little note on the welo thread…

Aitch, can you do me a favour please?

Nice one, Wayne! Look forward to seeing you.

Probably? PM me.

Sounds good. Cheers for the piping, see you tonight.

second thought, I might have a friend coming to stay tonight so slim chance I might cancel but I'll swing past either way to say hellos and grab polo materialz.

in

.

COME ON TURD FACE! they'll only hang for an hour or so probs ... com eon Daaaaaaave!

Sarah, Aidan, and me are in

if someone can bring a couple of spare mallets, me and dave will make it down :)

Wrong bike but I may swing in to say hello on the way to Brixton.

Dave and I.

(I've got one spare mallet I can bring down).

i can bring a couple of beater mallets... dt why we not playing SM then?

100% in. Real life friends suck. Polo friends are forever.

Sorry Sir.

Thanks for the mallet. See you later.

I'll bring a spare mallet also

not on polo rig and have football but will try and swing by on way just cos i can.

that fad is unnatural...I mean they don't even use bikes, just their body parts. what nonsense.

Does anyone need to get €uros yet? I have 100 that i will sell for 90 quid, that 4 pound cheaper and no fee ...

I usually just take them out of a cashpoint when I'm over there but if you want rid and won't be heading to Europe any time soon I may as well take them off your hands.

ahh, no longer need spare mallet as the lovely aidan is bringing mine :D

cool em, yep i'll rid it to you.

ok so to confirm NO mallets needed? i'm gonna leave now..ish

Me = confused. Was going to come and have a little looksi tomorrow. Is it on tomorrow (wed) or were you all eager to wack away a day early? If so; time and place please?

It be on, tomorrow. Wednesday is the usual day.

yep, come down and give it a try

Handy guys, but can you pro-offer up the time and place so I don't have to scour the last 10 pages. Please and thank you!
