Dear All,
Please note that the draw and times of the tournament remain the same and are unchanged there is a team change but it all remains the same (Gundalong Coco Republic didn't make the final :( at Garangula). After the matches on Saturday the finals of the high goal will be held at Garangula at 1 and 3pm so our members and guests are invited to move over for some lunch and take in the games.
On Sunday our matches will be centered around lunchtime and we will be having a bbq lunch and refreshments.
Chukka's were a great success on Wednesday with a large turnout and we will be holding chukka's today for all who wish to participate at 2pm. In the afternoon the field will then be mown and closed until the first match at 9am on saturday. As always everyone is welcome at the club and we have had a few enquiries as to whether children can bring there ponies to ride around, they are more than welcome but we would ask that they stay within the confines of the club grounds fenceing and are not behind the goal posts of the field or in a place where they may be struck with a ball.
