OK, as of yesterday there was only 1 team properly registered, Zombie RMY.
Please, if you haven't already, email roxy@trixiechix.com to register your team, include all team members names and email addresses.

In conjunction with Shoreditch Festival and the Tour de Hackney, Trixie Chix and London Brick Lane Bike Polo are putting together this Invitational. They are expecting 5,000 riders so we'll have a great audience and we'll be playing in a new court.

right now I need 2 things:

-teams to register, email roxy@trixiechix.com to do so
-volunteers that have their feet in London

This will be the 1st Shoreditch Invitational. So perhaps teams could represent their 'hoods. Peckham, Chelsea, Paris, holla back y'all!!!

1. If you are entering a team, great to put it here to let others know, BUT you need to email me with your team name, team mates, and all 3 email addresses. This is so I can get saddles (and your choice to Brooks in time). AFTER you send me email addresses I can send out saddle request forms. THESE ARE DUE JULY 10th!!!!!! Brooks closes in August (nice for their workers) So I need to get our shipment order to them ASAP. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!!! If you haven't emailed me with the following, you haven't registered.

2. We have a team from Paris and 2 teams from Germany coming so far. I need to have places for these people to stay. If you can offer your couch, please EMAIL me. I want to try to keep teams together or close to each other so let me know where you live and how many people you can take.

THANKS!!

anyone else wanna form a team based on the one Chris might've been in?

pj (pj) · 23rd June 2008

i'll play. i'm good on some days. i got rejected from the south side people. they already got teamz, i was too slow. we need someone else. i suggest bad designer, he knows his way round a mallet.

pj (pj) · 23rd June 2008

or trevor

Plagiarist · 23rd June 2008

Bad designer's already in a team with Slamm and myself.
Them's the breaks.

pj (pj) · 23rd June 2008

will you be fixed in time? and i'm kinda glad you're not on my team, don't want anymore breakages.

pj (pj) · 23rd June 2008

fuck it, i don't wanna play this stupid game anyway.

Sano · 23rd June 2008

I'll play with you, PJ...

Sano · 23rd June 2008

and I'm talking about polo, by the way...

Plagiarist · 23rd June 2008

I've got two months to heal. I'm sure a sensible straight edge boy like myself can manage that...I'm doomed aren't I?

pj (pj) · 23rd June 2008

you're like paula radcliffe, you'll be fine. once you're better you can do a shit courtside, mid-tournament, in celebration.

JOL · 23rd June 2008

At the moment if FRANK doesn't reply to my PM, The Underdogs need one player to join Jonny and myself. No polo skill required as we are going to be a zero to hero story between now and then.

@ Roxy, will mail when we have a third.

Plagiarist · 23rd June 2008

Thanks lake of darkness, I hadn'#t considered a court side relief session mid-play.

pj (pj) · 23rd June 2008

looks like we got sano, me and pajamas lined up in the D, waiting for our brooks saddles and podium girlz.

xsheepx · 23rd June 2008

i will be away :(

Mike[trampsparadise] · 24th June 2008

*bump*

Deadline for entering the August 17th shoreditch polo tourney is July 10th.
You get a free brooks saddle for playing!

um..all I would say is that sounds wonderful and it's been the image in my dreams too but if you have any talent at all in this game (er..Sano?) I would cautiously refer you to the other thread where I am asking about learning over the summer...
Plus my new fixed bike ready this weekend. that's where I am. Not necessarily the greatest asset.

playswellwithotters · 24th June 2008

Roxy, we have a team (me, Gabes & Horatio) but no name yet. We'll mail you the deets as soon as we get our sheeet together.

Shinscar · 24th June 2008

Jol the suspense is killing me....!!!!!

provenrad · 24th June 2008

Hi! I'm certainly up for it roxy / mike, need to finalise teammates who can practise Wesside d'yagetmeblud? ANy volunteers lurking?
I have non/semi-bikey friends, but they may not show the required level commitment.
(Hippy, Wayne, and Cornelius enter a team please.. please?)

me and sano both know our way round a mallet. you'll be fine.

i'll be living in bristol so will have to come back for this one, if not too busy chewing straw, drinking scrumpy and saying 'cheers drive' when i get off the bus.

in that case - I'll get practicing. A rather strange team - great trickster, great hillclimber etc... - and me.

One problem might be we won't meet up and work on gelling as a team at any point - I'll be away for up to six weeks before too, kind of returning back for this...

anyway I'm up for it for sure..and in no way offended if you cats back out and go off by yourselves, I think you're selling yourself short..

pj (pj) · 24th June 2008

no worries, i'll see you in the queue for the prizes. team BAD are going to lose (that's the peckham contingent, they gave me the brush off. DT and Aidan are getting a mallet in the balls)

dt · 24th June 2008

bah, i said you could be our cheerleader! What more do you want? :)

pj (pj) · 24th June 2008

i want to play, goddamn it, and i want to be wanted. i don't want to be brushed off with the offer of a few cheap poms poms and standing around with hops (lovely though she is) flashing my gusset whenever team BAD get the ball.

Too busy riding.. and death-by-polo would be a sad end to the GT. :)

Check it out.

roxy · 30th June 2008

You and your team mates must get the Brooks registration form, there are a few floating around in cyberspace, so who ever you get it from doesn't matter, email me for it, or get it from a friend.
It's getting it back to me signed by the 10th of July that counts!!!!
So get the registration form, sign it, pick your saddle, and get it back to me!!!

mikeymerk · 30th June 2008

Mike[trampsparadise] · 1st July 2008

Mikey, there are weekly games as well as the sunday games. Plenty of time to hone some skills.
