FIRST MATCH:
New Year's means that the first polo match cannot be far behind. In fact it
is a week earlier this year.....Sunday, January 10th! That is NEXT SUNDAY.
As you know, the Sunday matches will be played at The Polo Grounds Field
this year--south of 12th Street between 74th and 82nd Aves.
We have a newannouncer trailer and sound system, but just to be sure you can hear--
BE SURE TO BRING A RADIO.....96.7 FM.
POLO PARTY:
The season kick-off party will be at our house (George & Sandy Kahle, 6020
5th St SW) at 7:30 on Friday, January 22nd. We decided it would be safer to
save the Asado for a warmer month. And after this week, looks like we were
right! You will be receiving the official invitation in the mail, but be
sure to SAVE THE DATE. RSVP too. We look forward to having the Friends of
Polo tailgate members join us for this fun occasion!
COMMUNICATION:
We welcome Craig Fraser as the polo manager this season. Craig is in charge
of the 567-4003 phone line, which is used for game and chukker information
between Craig and the players and grooms and all matters "inside the
boards."
If you have any questions or information regarding things "outside the
boards" (tailgates, parties, etc.) please call the main office at 778-2224
or email me or call my cell, 563-8912.
IN CASE OF RAIN OR WET FIELDS:
Remember, if tailgaters have any doubt about whether the Sunday match is on,
we will put a cancellation message on the 778-2224 number by 10 a.m. on
Sunday mornings. Even if it is a perfectly sunny day, the field may be too
wet from prior rains to play safely, so be sure to check if you are in
doubt.
SHIRTS & HATS:
We will have new hats for sale this year. They should arrive in a week or
two, so check out the stock.
We also have some SUPER SALE shirts left at only $10 each. Mostly women's
and a variety of styles. We are discontinuing shirt sales so THIS IS
IT...get them while they last! I will bring them to the westside of the
field for the first match and then make them available to the general public
on following Sundays. It may be chilly, but those short sleeve and
sleeveless shirts are SUCH A DEAL for summer!
