Auto Polo?
One question I’m frequently asked when talking about polo is “Isn’t that dangerous?!”, my response is usually along the lines of “Not really, depends if you’re playing with or against Pete. Also, I don’t think we’ve had any real injuries yet.” This doesn’t convince anyone.
Recently, the depths of the internet have shown me something polo related that definitely does look dangerous: Auto Polo, on old cars. Anyone up for a game?
(Thanks Jem!)

Northcote Relocation: Until the end of April
Due to many many exhibition on at the Royal Exhibition over March and April we’re semi-permanently relocating to Northcote until the end of April.
A few recent working bees have tidied up the court added edging, so the court should be much better to play on now.
Make sure you come along for all the fun, spills, broken mallets, BBQs and more. As usual, play is from 2pm.
