INTERNATIONAL TOURS 2005

CANADIAN TOUR (INCOMING) 2005

In a new venture for the Pony Club Polo, a team from Canada was invited to tour England.

In early July, 4 players (Fernando Massalin, Robbie Egan, Marty Wales and Alix Begg) arrived accompanied by a coach and their team Manager.

In a two-week whirlwind tour of the South of England, the visitors played at five different clubs, watched high-goal polo at a further two, and, to be sure that their feet never touched the ground, enjoyed parties in pubs and private houses, as well as visits to London, Stonehenge and Windsor Castle.

YOUNG ENGLAND TOUR 2005

A team of 5 visited New Zealand in February 2005.

The tour started on the 1st February, continuing for a three week period, until the 20th February when the Young England team played in the curtain raiser to the final of the NZ Open in front of a crowd of 3000-4000.

A wonderful and worthwhile trip was had by all.
