Here’s an aerial shot of our play on Sunday:

Those red lines are everywhere my bike went, as recorded by my GPS. And the aerial photo is actually Google Earth. Hmm, looks like I was avoiding the top-left corner somewhat!

Hey everyone! The forecast is looking like me might actually get to test out the new court this week!!! Let’s keep our fingers crossed. Also wanna start discussing options for league play this year too, so if you want to be in the league this year, or you have ideas about how to choose teams this year, then please let me know. Hopefully we’ll see everyone at polo tomorrow. I’ll be there right after work (5-5:30) cause we want to get games in before it gets too late. For dark reasons & noise reasons.

Hey everyone, the weather is getting better now, so it’s time to get some regular hardcourt polo going again. I’m gonna call it “pre-season” it will be all pickup games every Wednesday and Thursday night at the Sacred Heart School parking lot. (our old stomping grounds) we will play here until the Ramsay Rink is available again (it still has ice right now) and at that point we’ll look at getting league play going again. First night is tonight so come on out, we’re gonna have to spend a bit of time sweeping the lot cause there is a lot of gravel, but after that its all Polo all the time!!! and I got some new brooms, so see you all there at around 5:30 pm.

good times!  thanx justin!

Check out these crazy dudes.

Mark your calendars. The 2009 Ramsay Bowl II will be July 10 - 12 2009. This is the last weekend of the Calgary Stampede so there will be lots going on here, and lots of parties and free breakfasts to be had. Not to mention our court is on the top of the hill behind the Stampede grounds so we’ll have a big fireworks show and music going on all weekend compliments of the Stampede. I have lots of big plans for the bowl this year so I highly reccommend making the trip. I know Calgary is a long way for a lot of you, but trust me we will do our best to make it worth your while. For one thing we will have a $1500 cash prize for first place, and lots of swag for everyone. Hopefully we will have some live bands again. MX MIssile rocked the bowl last year!!! and I will be borrowing crock pots from everyone I know again to cook up some of the now famous Ramsay Bowl Beef on a Bun!!! and for all you vegetarians….well….this is Alberta!! It’s cattle country you can eat the bun right??? (just kidding, we’ll have something for you too).
