More details to come!

Any of you guys coming to Ottawa for the North Side Polo Invitational?

Yo'z,

There's no POLO on FRIDAYS.
I tried, but no one has come at all...so its off.
Let's go strong on Sundays and Wednesday though!!

Pylon

So,

FRIDAY evenings are a new POLO night.
There...I said it.

Friday evenings at 7pm at Parc Leber in PSC is a new time to meet to play polo. We'll meet there at 7pm to 7:30pm and if the hockey box is occupied then we will go to the alternative location under the highway 10, in the casino parking lot.

I will show up every Friday and just hope that enough people come out to play. Trust that at least I will be there every week.

I will be there tomorrow, Friday May 28 at 7pm and I hope to see you all there.

Lets try and get more POLO happening in Montreal and get more dates during the week to appeal to different people with different schedules. Or just more polo in general and less typing about it on the interweb...cuz that's starting to get lame.

Hope to see y'all soon
Steve
ps. I'll bring a ball and we'll make goals outta back packs or something. I also have extra mallets for first timers.

Hey Montreal, start getting your teams together and plan a trip down to VT!
