CAPTAINS AND SUBALTERNS TOURNAMENT - JULY 30 & 31

THE Captains and Subalterns Polo Tournament will be played at Tidworth Polo Club over the weekend July 30 and 31 July.

The Tournament will be played along the same rules as last year in that:
a. Each team may field one player of the rank of Major (in the case of the RAF Wing Commander) to enable that team to compete. This must not, under any circumstances, be to the detriment of any player from that unit who is of the correct rank. There may be exceptions to this rule and will be decided on by the ApoloA committee.
b. All players must be serving in the Regular Forces or the TA.
c. All Army players must be members of APoloA. It is the responsibility of the team captain to ensure his team members have paid their subscriptions. If not they are to pay before the first match.

Entries are to be made directly to Tidworth Polo Club (TPC). The entry fee is £180 per team, payable to TPC. Early entry is encouraged to allow time for TPC to collate ponies for hiring. Entries must be in by Friday July 15. Late entries may be accepted by the Manager TPC.

ApoloA in conjunction with TPC will be hosting a barbecue/party on the Saturday evening at Tidworth. The idea is for a low key affair, open to all players/ members and friends. Price is TBC, however it will be very reasonable.

There is a possibility of sponsorship for the tournament, this is yet to be confirmed and will be detailed at a later date.

Any queries with regard to team or player eligibility should be directed to the Secretary of APoloA on the numbers listed above. If there are any individuals who would like to play, but do not have a team, contact the APA secretary.
