I hope we're registered!

Sorry about my tardyness on this one. I've been a bit all-over-the-shoppe in the last week or so.

We are indeed registered ( I hope, I certainly sent in the forms and paid the money).

We'll be making our debut as the much talked about and universally feared UCD Stars

We'll need to borrow what polo gear the club has, we should be able to borrow boats - I'll confirm this.

ICU membership... well, I think that we should get ACTUAL ICU membership. You're supposed to have it for entering all of the competitions across all of the different disciplines. The insurance of events is based on this and it's kind of bent to make the voluntary organisers responsible for any accidents. We're supposed have it for theDCPL too, but I think they got tired of asking. Contact Derv to get membership.

We're entered in DIV.3 (out of 3) which I'm sure will be an exciting and varied affair.

Boom!

Ooh, I forgot to mention. There will be an entry fee of about E16.

Bumber, I know.

It'll be so much polo though, and your standard will rocket with all that practice. It really is well worth it.

Two...but still completely worth it.

Playing on a full-sized pitch is  totally different game and really enjoyable. Five per side, rolling subs and slightly longer matchs. fun times.

rolling subs

Be warned, if you have the bad luck to be a sub you have to sit on the sidelines rolling continuously till you are dizzy. It's to ensure fairness.
