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.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Midway was a arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Benton, Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
