Picnic With The Players
On Mar 7, at 11AM, we will have fun on Field 3 watching the students and some pros play four chukkers. George Romero, a polo academy student, will host his guests on one side of the field while the Pony Up Polo Boosters will gather on the other side (where the horse trailers park). Some players will be wearing George's company shirts while others will be sporting our Pony Up colors. Dale will be announcing the match and there will be an awards presentation. Immediately following, the Boosters will have a picnic with the players. Lordi is bringing out his large grill and will be cooking hamburgers and hot dogs. Salad and baked beans round out the menu. Bring your chairs and favorite beverages! Tickets are $15 to cover cost of food and the required parking staff.
We'll see our polo pony, Serena, on the field.
There are two driveways up to Field 3. The first goes to the right of the Polo Club Office. The Boosters will take the second driveway to get to where the horse trailers park on the far side of the field.
Game Day Raffles Are Back!
We were cleared to begin raffles during the matches. On Sunday, we raffled off a "Crow's Nest with Dale", courtesy of The Villages Polo Club. The winning ticket was drawn during the trophy presentation and Lori R will enjoy a match from the third floor. All proceeds will go either to the Injured Players Fund or the Polo Academy, based on their requirements. These raffles will be a great help in our fundraising, along with the annual Derby Party Auction and t-shirt sales. Thank you to all who purchased tickets!
If you'd like to help with raffle ticket sales, please send us an email at ponyuppoloboosters@gmail.com or stop by the information desk in the Grandstand.
