FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE NSW POLO COMMUNITY
The Muddy Flatts Club Program for 2013
Polo happens all year round at Muddy Flatts for all of our members - from January through to December. We are already gearing up for 2013. We have some terrific opportunities available for players of all standards.
In 2013 we will kick off with our special FULL MEMBER AUTUMN PROGRAM in March. This Program is available to all Full Members and Full Junior Members (Full Members).
From 2 March – 6 April (6 weeks) our Full Members will have the opportunity to play with:
Our visitors:
· Craig Wilson (6 goals)
· Brad Mallett (4 goals)
· Zac Hagendoorn (4 goals - Argentina)
· Guy Higginson (4 goals)
Along with:
Our existing players:
· Andrew Williams (5 goals). Andrew will also be running Willo Polo chukkas, clinics and lessons non-stop throughout the year
· Ray Bruce (2 goals)
· Wal Ashton (0 goals) and
· others.
For lower goal Full Members
It is the intention of Muddy Flatts to continue with its current program where young horse chukkas are played in the morning. Our lower goal and ‘up and coming’ players will play with our visitors in “mix and match” teams. They will be given encouragement and the opportunity to hit the ball while gaining a better understanding of the structure and tactics involved in the game. (Our visitors will be providing general assistance, but not lessons.)
For our higher rated Full Members
Given we will have in excess of 20 goals “in-house”, practice matches of 10 goals (and close thereto) will be possible for our better rated players.
SPECIAL NOTES for all to know:
· We advise that on the weekend of 16 & 17 March, the rated players will be away at the Millamolong Polo tournament – HOWEVER, a section of Muddy Flatts will be available for slow chukkas for our Full Members.
· Practice polo will continue during the Morton Cup and Dudley Cups and all players will be available for chukkas when not participating in these two special events.
· As highlighted above, in order to participate in this 6 week program, you must be a Full Member of Muddy Flatts Polo Club.
· We believe this 6 week period will be a unique opportunity for a broad range of players to prepare young horses, build their confidence playing with quality players and receive quality exposure to how the game is played at more advanced levels.
· Full Members are entitled to stick and ball on the field throughout the year. Prior notice of each attendance must be given to ensure the field is in order.
SUMMING UP
Muddy Flatts Polo Club aims to replicate the old Country Club polo model where the older and/or better players assisted the game for the sake of the game itself.
In the Spring something similar to this is envisaged, but the management of Muddy Flatts will assess what is most appropriate closer to the time.
The Members and friends of Muddy Flatts Polo Club have vast experience in providing fun, exciting polo for players from -2 goals to 4 goals.
We believe our Club offers excellent value. We welcome all players who would like to share the experience and have a bit of fun in a constructive environment with a bunch of great folk.
MUDDY FLATTS Polo Club - the Club “that never sleeps”
All year round, Willo Polo will be conducting chukkas, clinics and lessons
