As the sun comes out and summer is here, the outdoor polo season is starting in the UK. We have news of 2 exciting events run by MANUP! in the coming months and advise you to get in touch with the organisers if you are interested. There’s a mixed U15 event at the Nantwich Lido in July, and then the Senior Men’s and Women’s tournament in the Salford Quays in August. From experience of previous years tournaments these are a lot of fun and not to be missed.
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.
This month we have been showcasing our junior talent at the GoCardless Swim England Water Polo National Age Group Championships 2024 for U17 and U19 men and women, with images from the National Age Group Championships by Will Johnston Photography
