Hockey: The EMU is not a water bird
Some of you may have heard about the recent floods in the North of England which has been causing a fair amount of disruption ar ound the country and the local unicycling community is no exception the hardy East Midalands Unicyclists (EMU's) practise outside on an all weather pitch(a statement turns out to not be completely true) So it was with heavy hearts that we hear that the pitch had been flooded and was out of commission - the pictured below was taken about 12hr's after the maximum level - So practise is off again tomorrow as we've still got 12" of water on the pitch - fingers crossed for next week Roland 20989 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Chester-green-flood-001.800x600.jpg | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/20989 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- roland ------------------------------------------------------------------------ roland's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5937 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62285 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Trust me its not beautiful if the pitch is under 3 feet of water and you're about to miss the 2nd week of hockey in a row with limited chance of it being dry for next week as well  but I guess it hasa certain charm -- roland ------------------------------------------------------------------------ roland's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5937 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62285 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

12" of water, that's only just over your axle.

Hockey: The EMU is not a water bird
Great photo Roland. I'm assuming you were told you couldn't play, otherwise I'm sure you'd had a go. Can you imagine what fun Parry would have had with all that wet stuff? Maybe it's a good thing you weren't allowed to play in the end. -- steve.colligan Once is NEVER enough! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steve.colligan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/292 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/62285 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

The "Rangers" did indeed say that the pitch was closed however the whole area rather stinks at the moment, now whether this is due to simply the water or wether its sewage related who knows - they've assured us that it will be being jet washed before we use it again so that'll be a nice spring clean.
