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!

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.
Depending on whether I'm working or not I'll go to this over Easkey :)
Last year a group of them did both, and seemed to be fairly successful :blank:

No reason not to go to both, we went to both last year and it was perfect :D
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 !

I agree whole heartedly !
Look on the bright side. You can try and find what went wrong with this years freshers and correct it next year.
I'm a mayb depending on work
Attending
If enough girls sign up we can create a mixed and a female team afro.gif
'Ladies will be able to enter on a ladies team and a mixed team as long as both teams are capable of fielding 5 legal players if both teams are timetabled to play at the same time.'
Also cost for a mixed team is €50 for the girls instead of €80 for mixed team(cause no one likes boys evil.gif )
Entry fee is €130 for a Ladies + Mixed team
Entry fee for a single Mixed / Ladies / Mens team is €80
I'd be up for it! Definitely for the ladies them :)
hmmm...put me down as a maybe for this.
...details to follow, as I see where life takes me and whatnot.
I'm also a maybe on this as I have to figure out how to fit this and Easkey into a weekend.
I'll be going

Perfect! So I'd be good to work till like 1 or 2 on the Friday?
If anyone wants to stay at mine in Mayo Friday and head to the polo Saturday that's cool!!
Okay I'll put us in for a team so!
Any more want to do it and maybe we could have 2 teams? :)
If you've get space on the team then put my name down.
I reckon that I"m closer to going than not going, but I honestly
don't know yet.
Also, I'm now a real trainee ref. woot.

I have a 4 man / 6 student tent
Does Katie know about your man tent?
Dibs !
Woop! Could I provisionally nab a space in your tent too Diarmuid? And how much is looking like costwise?
Actually Diarmuid, is this the same tent that I'm thinking of ?

Hmmm
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 :)
Driving from Maynooth to Galway and on to Easkey :)
I can meet anyone who wants a lift in Maynooth on Friday
the 66X goes straight from UCD to Maynooth and costs about €3.60
