Saturday, 22 September 2012
10:00 until 20:00
The Polo Direct Arena, Napier Street, Shieldfield.
Watch the greatest bike polo teams in the entire world of Newcastle, Scotland and Northern England compete for ultimate glory in the only event of this year's Olympics to be held after the closing ceremony.

All teams are welcome to try and follow the achievements of previous gold medallists from Team Sensible (Edinburgh) and Smoking Nuns (Newcastle), all of whom are now household names.

Here's a map to where our venue has been built: http://g.co/maps/dn4kt

Invite your friends!

WARNING: Bike Polo is extremely dangerous and very fun.

If MCR ain't going, then I'd like to propose a Saturday of polo in Hebden Bridge followed by the Now Wave DJs night in the evening... #justputtinitoutthere

Hebden Bridge is more convenient than Newcastle. I also have a 4 man tent that still hasn't been used since I bought it for Brighton...

+ thanks to Ben for helping Canny Little Spies win the 007 Alleycat on Friday, and Salman was awarded Most Improved Player by the local spectators who remember his early days of impersonating small long-haired people from Jesmond.

Thanks for doing this, Luke! It was a fun day out. It's a shame plenty of Mancunians missed out.

It ends with a "zombie disco, complete with bar where you can buy drinks". I hope all zombie apocalypse end this way.

These flapping nutters were outside my flat the last couple of nights. Took me a while to make the connection. I wouldn't mind if they kept the noise down.

Actually I still would, because they're fully grown adults acting like idiots.
