Arden Polocrosse Club Winter League Open to All UKPA Players 18th October 2015 8th November 2015 13th December 2015 Come to all or some of the dates! Entries are limited so first come, first served. How it will work? The league will work on an individual basis, so once you have entered you will be put into a section of appropriate gradings (this section may not remain the same for all three dates). This will allow a player to build up their goal difference, best number, best horse and star play awards over the three dates; leaving us with our ‘Most Valuable Player’. The results will be added up and published after each of the league dates along with the leader board, showing how all players are performing. There will be a number of prizes up for grabs over the three dates, accumulating with the final date on the 13th of December, which will host the final prize giving. LOCATION Dallas Burston Polo Club, Stoneythorpe Estate, Southam, Warwickshire, CV47 2DL Please note: The postcode will take you to an Industrial Estate around 400m from the entrance. Please look for the Great British flags flying and a white electric gate, with the Dallas Burston signage. The event will take place on the 60 x 160 m outdoor arena.
