West London Bike Polo

We've potentially got a site. We've potentially got some players. We've not got any mallets, or a ball.

Where do we go from here?

Here's a map

They're easy to make (apparently). Sheep and small brown bike can be consultants.

It was sheep, playswellwithotters and I that made them.
Matt provided entertainment and bike fixing skills. Tools a house, some help and advice. He was probably overseeing the production line but in a supervisory capacity. I don't really know what I'm getting at, so I should probably stop typing now.

my personal opinion is find somewhere with lights, it's quite likely that you won't be starting that early and you don't want to have to stop due to low light

Pics!

Well done aroogah - I got it sorted with the norse king of lore himself.. who united the nations of phone and laptop and created a free data zone..
Lights are there Seb, I need to see about turning them on though?..
My colleague commented how this seems the most oddly designed leisure area in London - I have to agree! Check out all the pics

That looks like some sort of bear-pit. If you were filming some post apocalypse Mad Max-esque bike polo movie, you would film there. I see now how the flaming mallets would help.
