  2. Thought I’d pop along for a game at the South Warf Dockland polo court around 7pm last Thursday night.
    Was there nobody there, or did I just look in the wrong places (i.e under the freeway off Montague Street and in front of the Hilton.)
    Who can I contact in advance to find out if and when a game will be on?

  3. Hey Phil,
    Not sure if you looked in exactly the right spot, but we’re still there, you can find out who will be there by joining the melbourne bike polo e-mail list. e-mailing the site could get you a speedy response too (we’ve just updated the forwarding address and I’m _always_ on my e-mail)

    We played there last night from 7pm till well after 11pm, Corner of Munro and Montague. Not really near the hilton, on the other side of the freeway.

  6. Hey guys!

    I love riding my bike and just found out about bike-polo. I’ve never done anything like it in my life. I was wondering if anyone would be willing enough to teach me. It looks super fun!

    cheers

    Les

  7. Hey Les,
    I’m not sure what city you’re in, but all you need to do is turn up to polo in your city and people would gladly teach you!
    Check the front page for details on where to find playing times.
