What’s On in April 2021

As this issue of Polo Times went to print, the Hurlingham Polo Association announced changes to the 2021 Victor Ludorum, in particular the 22 goal season, “The 22 goal programme for 2021 has been slipped to allow more time for ponies to be got properly fit and players to travel and quarantine or self-isolate and hopefully more people to attend the final few games of the Queen’s Cup. The Prince of Wales at RCBPC and The Queen’s Cup will each start and end 2 weeks later so the PoW will run from 13 – 29 May and the Queens Cup from 1 – 27 June. The Gold Cup will start and end one week later, from 29 June – 25 July. The Warwickshire will end on Saturday 26 June, the day before the Final of The Queen’s Cup. The Victor Ludorum below the 22 goal will start as per the original programme with the following changes: The Royal Windsor will run from 22 June to 11 July, the dates of The Eduardo Moore which will now run from 1 – 20 June, the dates of The Royal Windsor. The Final of the Apsley at Cirencester will now be played on 19 June.”
