Nomad Interclub Polo Event

Event, News, Polo, Uncategorized
Nomads Hosted an in club polo event run and organised by our very own Chilly (Paul Childerhouse). Feed back from the days event was excellent and something we must try and do more of in the future. I’ll chase Chilly for a report! Feed back: Thanks you Nomad for today. Brilliantly run and everyone had a great day including the food (possibly had one too many burgers). What a great day, watching players of all ages and abilities having fun playing together whilst looking after younger players even when they were on the opposite team. A real example of how sportsmanship should be. A few pictures from the day:
