Sunny weekends and long summer evenings are slowly returning to Oxford, so why not venture out for a game of bike polo? We’ll be holding an informal introductory day on Saturday 8th May from 13.00 to 17.00 at the Croft Road playing fields in Marston.
It’s open to everyone, experienced or complete beginner, and we’ll have a mix of hardcourt and grass polo. If you ‘re feeling lazy bring a picnic and watch everyone else play. If you’re definitely coming sign up on our Facebook event, otherwise just turn up and have a go.
If that’s not exciting enough, there’s a few other cycling events going on that weekend too.
