Spring Bench - Glasgow Bench Minor, 3rd March.

Hey guys, we'll be hosting a bench minor in Glasgow on the 3rd of March.
It will be one day, followed by the pub. All welcome. If any of you fancy coming up for it let us know.

All the best for the invitational!

As for team sizes, if you bring enough people, you can have your own team, but if need be teams can be merged to make up the numbers. e.g. England vs Glasgow vs Edinburgh.

When we have a good idea of numbers we can tweak the format to ensure the most polo is played!

Still fancy coming up for this? Are you able to put a list together of who's coming (so I can work out numbers and teams etc)? Cheers guys.

Will look at transport options as soon as I've been paid next week.

Sorry you can't make it Andy, will be great to have you next time.

Any more for any more? We currently have Glasgow with ten players, and a six strong Edinburgh team, so they'll definitely be welcoming any players who can make it.

Trains are shit on the Sunday, 1st one gets in after 1. I could get a car if people can pay fuel.

I'm in. I might be up for car sharing, Snotter. But if the weather is looking alright that weekend I might head up for the whole weekend and do something else Fri/Sat.

Our court is floodlit, we can play all day!

If yer up on the saturday we could see about getting up to the new Commonwealth games MTB trails or something?

Guys, would it make any difference if we hosted on the saturday (2nd?).

Total brain fart to throw into the mix at this stage, but I'm throwing it out there! I think Glasgow are good for either day, and Edinburgh probably would prefer the saturday too. Easier transport, permissible sunday hangover!

Let me know; Saturday 2nd March. Or Sunday 3rd of March. What's better for you guys? We'd be excited to have yous up here to play.

Maybe, trains are looking like £50 on Saturday, which is more than I can afford so would probably have to drive whatever. Might head up Saturday evening though, I'm not much of a morning person.

Salman, what do you reckon?
Andy, does it make any difference to you?

Rob, if it was saturday, would you be able to drive up on the friday, or does that scupper things? I'm sure we could sort out a few couches for you guys.

Going to check again with work, I really have no idea what's going on in this place anymore...

I think Andy's working Saturday, I normally work Saturday and Sunday but can usually get them off.

Hope your weather's as nice as in glasgow for some sunday afternoon polo.

I'm going to settle on a date for this on Tuesday morning.

Looks like we're edging towards the saturday, so if you want to come but can *only* make it on sunday, speak now forever hold your peace! :)

Looking forward to having you guys. Let us know if you need a place to crash or anything.

Oooh, my mum is going back down south soon, I'll check when, I think it's after this so getting the car should be OK.

Are there still 2 people that want to do this with me? Will need to know soon to sort out the car.

Accomodation shouldn't be a problem if you're coming down on friday evening.

I think I'm going to have to bail, apologies. It's leaving it a bit late to get my mums car, she's meant to be moving back to Reading on Thursday.
