We begin this month’s news round-up with the announcement that our England Water Polo monthly newsletter editor Anne Huck is stepping down after 7 and a half memorable years. Many of you will know Anne and her family who are all very active in polo in the North West and on the international stage, and we would like to say a very big thank you to her from all of us here at England Water Polo and from the wider GB polo community.
