Apparently it's one of the fastest growing spectator sports.


And heaven knows why, I mean super-fit players wearing a tiny kit & diving all over the place, isn't everyone's cup of tea.

However, there is a new Beach VolleyBall court being built at the National Stadium, Crystal Palace.

Tempting as it was I didn't want this to be a titillating "Oooo look at the buns on that" thread.


I'm genuinely excited about the new court being built at the National Stadium, Crystal Palace.


I even hope to play there myself sometime, body holding out and all that.

I gather that they will be practising at CP - added to which the Brazilian Women's Beach Volleyball will be descending upon CP in the lead up to the games (which has caused local gents to perk up somewhat!).


Edited to add that the Brazilian Olympic team will be using CP as their training base - so a bit of a perk up for the ladeez too! http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,735424,735911#msg-735911

From the Official Beach Volleyball Rules


Particular important are the 7cm max for bikini sides and design has to be with'open upper chest'



24.4 Women?s Uniforms

? Style (see diagram)

The top must fit closely to the body and the design must be with deep

cutaway armholes on the back, upper chest and stomach (2-piece),

respecting the space for the required for the manufacturer logo, player

number, country flag and country code, and the place for the player?s

name.

The briefs should be in accordance with the enclosed diagram, be a close

fit and be cut on an upward angle towards the top of the leg. The side width

must be maximum 7 cm.

The one piece uniform must closely fit and the design must be with open

back and upper chest, respecting the space for the required inscriptions to

be made.

? Fabric

The top and briefs or the one piece uniform must be made of elastic

material, Lycra or a combination of Lycra/cotton, or other similar quality

synthetic material.

Let's be honest, part of the attraction of beach volleyball is the 'close fit' apparel, somehow the thought of Netty prancing around in her scuzzy baggy bloomers doesn't do it for me...cue gratuitous titillating "Oooo look at the buns on that" pic...well, it is Friday

Well


We went to an organised event down at crystal palace yesterday. It was great fun as they had coaching for the children etc.


The courts x 3 are spot on & I joined in with an adult group for an hour plus.


Oh yep, my legs and arms are aching but it was darn good fun.

    • Dont forget the impact of the last banking crisis, covid, furlough and the energy price impact on the economy or aren't those factors that caused a financial black hole in your view of the world? 
    • Oh dear! The general response is that my experience of Jon Hartley is the norm. That’s bad. As an update to my issue with him, Ellie Reeves’ office advised that I contact the Southwark Labour Party Chief Whip in the first instance with my complaint. Coincidentally, the Chief Whip turns out to be Cllr Maggie Browning. She acknowledged my complaint and, in response, said that she had ‘spoken’ to Jon Hartley and appeared satisfied that he’d now responded to me. Not sure that’ s an adequate response, since it seems to been well-known that he consistently ignores constituents. Maggie will know that better than anyone as she’s paired with Jon in our Ward, and she’s having to pick up the stuff which he’s ignoring. As people have noted, Maggie does indeed respond to constituents but she’s now on maternity leave. Alas, I think that means we’re lumbered with just Jon. I’ve bypassed him in respect of my own issue, because I think he’s a waste of my time. In case anyone else should be having problems with him, especially now that Maggie Browning is away, I’d recommend emailing Ellie Reeves MP. Her office is very responsive in my experience and, if she hears from enough disgruntled constituents of Cllr Hartley, I imagine she be quietly speaking to the Southwark Constituency Labour Party about him. Ultimately, if he stands again, he won’t be getting my vote. Be annoyed people, be very annoyed ! Your vote should count for something and the candidates privileged enough to get it should do the job they were elected for!
    • Looking for packing boxes, please msg me if you can help!
    • My 7yo old daughter was really nervous about going to the podiatrist for verruca treatment. We went to Dulwich Podiatry and saw Zack, who was absolutely brilliant at making her feel calm and informing her of the process every step of the way. Just wanted to put a recommendation in for anyone who’s looking for somewhere to take a child who’s wary about any treatments.
