DEAR POLOPEOPLE!

We are very much looking forward to welcome you to Polocamp Wördern!

Max amount of people: 50 Poloplayers – we experienced it’s a good size of group to this location – if more ppl register, there will be a waiting list.
friends&family who don´t play polo are welcome too of course, you let us know in the registration form how many, so we can count them in for food&drinks!

LOCATION: St. Andrä-Wördern – Hockey Court https://www.google.com/maps/place/Red+Dragons+Lair/@48.3397522,16.2270324,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x2a7ee77ec4cb589f!8m2!3d48.3397026!4d16.2269814 10

This year we have 3 days in a row, bcs the 15th is a public holiday!
Arrival: Saturday morning 10.00 (if you want to camp from Friday 18.00, its possible, but there will be a hockey-training)
Departure: Monday evening 18.00 (possible to camp until tuesday 11.00)

POLO:
It’s a Polocamp and not a Tournament! We can play whenever we want. There are lights, we can officially use until 22.00!
There is the idea that you can offer a WORKSHOP if you like (f.e. reffing/ raclette/ wheelieturn/ …).

So far the Plan is to shuffle Pickup-Groups (morning, afternoon, evening), inbetween there will be workshops (scooping, reffing, etc) and “under18yearsPOLO”

Besides that, we want to give space for all ideas or compromises and create an amazing weekend together with fun and Polove!!

There will be a bike mechanic stand hosted by our favorite FLINTA* Bikeshop https://www.velopeaches.com/

REGISTRATION FEE:
For Poloplayers: € 30, -/person

Please transfer the money until 12.8. on paypal: paypal.me/sewiystreetwear

For people you bring who don`t play polo: free donation for the food.
If you registered more persons than yourself in the google form, they will be calculated in for the food.

FOOD:
We will provide vegan food for the whole camp (Saturday-Monday), the food will be included in the registration fee (court/food/facilities)!
Bringing own food: pls consider our spaces in the fridges are limited

Cooking: we will cook on a big gas stove and also BBQ is possible, help for cooking is appreciated!

Cleaning: There will be a schedule for tasks (cooking/cleaning) on the camp! help for cleaning is very much appreciated! :slight_smile:
Beer: we are planning on organizing a Beer-Tap (Self-Service). 1 Beer (0,5L) = €2,-

CAMPING:
Tent: we can camp next to the court on a grass area which is also a playground, it`s important we build the tents on the edge of the area and close to each other, so the locals can use it! Pls keep that in mind!
Car: there is a small parking lot, you can also sleep in the car.
Toilets and hot showers are provided.
UPDATE:
its possible to camp from friday 18.00 - tuesday 11.00! Important note: we have officially booked (and paid) the court only saturday-monday, also there might be hockey players training on friday evening. So no polo on friday&tuesday, sorry! but the toilets&showers will be available!

HOUSING BEFORE AND AFTER THE CAMP in Vienna: Please send an email to bikepolo.vie@gmail.com with the exact dates when you need housing in Vienna, and we´ll try to find a place to stay! (keep in mind, you can camp friday 18.00 - tuesday 11.00)

CORONA SAFETY:
To access the camp it is mandatory to be either vaccinated/tested/healed from corona!! Please come tested anyway!

OTHER FUN STUFF AROUND:

Pls keep in mind that the camp officially starts on Saturday morning! On Friday night there will be a hockey training (17-21.30), and therefore no polo!

Thank you all , thank you Bike Polo Vienna

Being there was again a pleasure and it was even more with Luce, how you all warm welcomed, helped, taught her and cheering at her. We both have heart shaped stars in our eyes. Luce told me at the beginning of the camp that our sport is super cool, and at the end how you are all wonderful and that we have to book already for next year…

Quality polo, quality workshops, quality food and party.

Oh my fucking god!

Many many many thanks again

Love you all
