Claudia Weiler, managing director of the Summit Polo School and Livery, said: During the last four seasons we have attracted more than 50 members and also given lessons to hundreds of people from across Yorkshire and beyond.
We are now Yorkshires largest polo club and see nurturing budding talent here are the Summit Polo School as an important part of our role. There are not many places to play polo , particularly in the north of England, so we provide a fantastic opportunity for those people who are interested in trying a polo taster session or a course of lessons. Were very keen to encourage people of all ages to come and give polo a try under the expert guidance of our coach, Tony Wesche. Its a sport that people of all ages can enjoy, and no previous riding experience is necessary.
Weve got some fantastic events lined up for the 2010 season, which should be great fun for members and spectators alike. We hope that some of the spectators who come along to our major tournaments will want to give polo a try for themselves.
