Fri 20th Oct 2017What’s On This Week and Looking Further AheadPolo near you
The summer season is officially over in the UK (if the hurricane force storms in the weather forecast weren’t proof enough), which means that the most avid polo fans amongst us will soon be travelling further afield to sunnier climes or in some cases, snowier climes. But, before the real winter activities kick off in the UK and Europe, there is still plenty of polo to stay up to date with, from the Julio Novillo Astrada Cup at La Aguada Polo Club and the Hurlingham Open in Argentina to the XI FIP World Championships in Sydney, Australia, in which play is now underway. Polo Times will be pitch-side in Sydney, keeping all our readers up to date with the goings on so make sure you subscribe now for updates. Reports from tournaments across the world will be in the next issue of Polo Times, from the ongoing Triple Crown series in Argentina to the Victor Ludorum series finale in the UK and what’s more, the November issue will feature our one of a kind Christmas Gift Guide to get you feeling festive. Here are some of the upcoming fixtures to keep you in the polo loop: UK Druids Lodge – First Club Chukkas: 26 October Westcroft Park – Arena Opens 50% Off Challenges (Open): 1 – 5 November Ash Farm – Challenge Matches (Open): 4 – 5 November DBPC – The IXL Cup: 4 – 5 November Rugby – T-Bone Challenge: 6 November Ash Farm – Challenge Matches (Open): 11 – 12 November RCBPC – Arena Challenge Trophy (7-10): 11 – 12 November Rugby – The WPPG Cup (-2-2 & 2-6): 11 – 12 November Westcroft Park – Westcroft Park Pro-Am league (4-10): 11 – 12 November Druids Lodge – Club Match for Poppy Sunday Trophy: 12 November Ash Farm – Winter Warm Up Cup (1-3): 18 – 19 November RCBPC – The Metropolitan Trophy (10-12): 18 – 19 November RCBPC – The Richmond Trophy (4-6): 18 – 19 November Westcroft Park – Westley Green Farm Plate (5-8): 18 – 19 November RCBPC – HPA National Club Championships (1-3 & 10-12): 21 November – 3 December Ash Farm – Challenge Matches (Open): 25 – 26 November Westcroft Park – Westcroft Park Pro-Am league (4-10): 25 – 26 November Rugby – Amateur Challenge Match: 27 November America New Bridge – Regional Presidents Cup (4-8): 1 – 22 October Aiken – Southeastern Circuit Players Cup (0-4): 5 – 22 October Argentina La Aguada – Argentine Amateur Championship (0-4 & 4-8): 14 – 22 October La Aguada – Julio Novillo Astrada Cup (22): 16 – 27 October Hurlingham – Hurlingham Open (40): 10 – 28 October Australia Sydney Polo Club –XI FIP World Championships: 17 – 29 October Youth Polo Garrison Forest, USA – Middle School League: 21 – 22 October Women’s Polo Virginia, USA – National Women's Arena Championship: 19 – 22 October UK Key Arena Dates RCBPC – HPA National Club Championships (1-3 & 10-12): 21 November – 3 December Westcroft Park – HPA National Club Championships (5-8): 2 – 16 December Westcroft Park – England Test Match (Open): 16 December RCBPC – HPA National Club Championships (4-6 & 13-15): 5 – 21 January 2018 RCBPC – Arena Gold Cup (13-15): 13 – 24 February 2018 Hickstead – International Arena Test Match, Bryan Morrison Trophy (Open): 3 March 2018 Photograph: Action from the 2017 Hurlingham Open.
