Frank Bragg, President, Scone Polo Club sends this report on the Twentieth Scone Junior Polo School 2014:

This is the twentieth year of conducting the school with 67 players participating. A large percentage were from the local area. We  lifted our age limit to nine, this was probably ideal numbers with a very relaxed school with no congestion issues around the shed at lunch time etc.
 
I would like to say a very special thank you to Anto White for his time in organising and coaching. It is an amazing effort considering the amount of years and the enthusiasm and passion which he continues to bring to the school. Groups went from A to F, with seventeen instructors kindly giving their time voluntarily. This year we had split groups for B, C & F only.
