In the Easter holidays we will be heading up to bonny Scotland for a week of paddling. Dates are liable to change, but it's likely to be the first week of the holidays. We will be staying in a bunkhouse or hostel, so no camping (a veritable treat!), and paddling a variety of different rivers. There will be something suitable for everyone who signs up. Costs will be around £150 and we will ask for a deposit closer to the time.
We will be heading up on Sunday to allow people to play polo if they want. We will probably stay until the Wednesday or Thursday.
Any questions, just ask Molly or Connor.
Here's a video from this year's trip.
This league is aimed at the ladies in our club. No previous polo experience is needed.
