EHA - European Hardcourt Association

Hi everyone,

I'm Jason from France, I am working on organising European Bike Polo Association, and to do so, I need to gather information on every single cities in Europe. The task is huge and I did my best with what's available on League of Bike Polo, now I need your help.

There are few things:
Share this emails with all city representatives that you know from your own country or small countries around yours. We have to gather information on every city.
Share it on Facebook, to your national forums, to your representatives.
I don't have any contacts in particular for Denmark, Luxembourg, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Slovakia, Serbia and Turkey.

And, IF ONLY you are a representative(elected or not) of your CITY, please fill in the google form available here:
(If few representatives exists, please coordinate with them to give one answer)

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1U4o...J2tuM/viewform

This is how the European Committee would work if European majority accept.
Lot of players support the format I'm proposing, around Europe (see https://leagueofbikepolo.com/forum/o...-have-your-say )
Even if you don't agree, please fill in the form to have information about your city, to facilitate European coordination.

This is the first stone of what will coordinate European Bike Polo with other international entities, to create a European ruleset, to organise EHBPC.

Best regards,

Jason B. aka Jay-z
Coordinator of EHA.

Before we fill this in, do we have a city rep already?

I'm easy, happy to do it or if we already have a rep then I'll go to the pub

If MHBP is going to have a Euro representative then let's have a simple/quick procedure of nominations/elections please.

yep, we should vote on it. So first we need a list of who's interested to be the rep:

1. Chan

Currently not interested - I'm hardly representative/it's been made clear I'm not. I'll vote/support anyone who understands the meaning of the word 'represent'... ;-)

I can link this Jason fella to the Copenhagen bike polo facebook page if he wants to contact them... Do you contact details for him, Andy?

I'm standing down from this. Don't have the time with Work and other commitments. I think Andy has been doing a good job recently so my vote goes for him.

It makes sense to me that the EHA rep should also be MHBP President.

I'm happy for Andy to do both.

Thanks for the support, I've filled out the form and will start a 'EHA Information/Updates' style thread if/when I hear anything back.

There were some optional questions about what they EHA should work towards, I agreed with their proposed priorities for this year (getting organised, making a decision about rules, working with NAH, planning for 2015 Euros), I also mentioned support for small/medium scenes organising European tournaments, support/training for refs, providing guidance/info to individual countries/areas about qualification for Euros with as much time as possible.

There were questions about hosting the 2015 Euros, court availability... I indicated we were looking at larger courts/suitable areas but had nothing confirmed and we would not be in a position to host next year

So if we get several UK scenes offering up Euro Reps directly, surely there will be issues within the UK being thrown up at the centre if we don't have a parallel UK Rep committee/forum? Once the Euro Rep delegates are in/published then that would be the perfect opportunity to congress the UK Reps together to for the long awaited UK body.

Maybe we should all sit down and go through the rules, finish polo a little early one night....to the pub.....and make our own interpretation to submit. For the cause.

I'm not really a fan of the pub, I don't think alcohol and athletes really mix.
