Wed 10th Sep 2014Guards Polo Club unveil their field with a viewA new high goal ground opens at Flemish Farm with the Board Directors’ Cup.
After five years in the making, Guards Polo Club officially opened the Castle Ground at its Flemish Farm complex on Saturday 6 September. Lord Patrick Beresford cut the ribbon to officially mark the opening of the ground. The Flemish Farm project now includes 100 stables, a Martin Collins, all-weather exercise track and a stick & ball field. A second medium-goal ground will be added in 2015. Neil Hobday presented some mementos of the day to three families who have been instrumental in creating this vision of Flemish Farm. Freddie Stisted stepped forward to receive one in recognition of his late father Charlie, the Club's former CEO, who had worked tirelessly to kick-start the Flemish Farm project. Graham Wooldridge received one on behalf of the Wooldridge family who have supported and worked alongside James Neighbour and the team at Guards to ensure Charlie's vision has now become reality. Lord Beresford was the third recipient in recognition of all that he has done for the Club over the past 59 years. The first players to experience a match on the Castle ground were the Club's Board Directors, plus Polo Manager Glen Gilmore and playing member Charlie Wooldridge. The friendly match for the Board Directors' Cup ended on a 7-7 draw.
