Post by: Diarmuid on May 13, 2013, 23:02:00
Hey lads and lassies,

It's nearly Summer Polo time yet again  ;D

The first Competition to kick off our Summer season is the Galway Open in Galway City on Sat 1st & Sun 2nd June!

Who's interested in heading down? It's a deadly weekend out!

We'll be camping in Salthill for the weekend (which has Showers and stuff) and there's great aul nights out (both official and unofficial).

We went down to all the competitions last summer and even won a thing or two :D

All the Details are here:

I think i might be up for this rather than Easkie. I'll let you guys know a bit closer to time to see how the funds are doing.

I feel like I would prefer going to just the one. If anyone else is in the same boat, they're welcome to come with me !

Look on the bright side. You can try and find what went wrong with this years freshers and correct it next year.

Hey guys! I was in Galway last week, I got to see a few teams playing some polo didn't get talking to them but I bet they were training up for the comp, game face on  :D
I'm wondering if there'll be any opportunity for some sea kayaking? since the campsite is beside a cool little bay and a small island or two not far off of the coast. I know polo is the main event but if we have any boats suited for it and brought up + free time I'd love to go and have people join me.

I don't know that you'll get time for it Marco! The Polo competitions are pretty much day-long :)

Also, I'm not sure that you'd have the energy for it after a day's polo :)
