Kent Tournament postponed
As a result of all the recent rain, our pitches are waterlogged and currently unplayable. Richard Hillier has expressed serious concerns that the pitches and the camping field will not dry out sufficiently in time for our planned tournament on May 17/18 th.
In addition, because we have so far been unable to get on the pitches, and will again not be able to practice on them this weekend , the committee feels that it would be too early to stage a tournament after, at most, just one practice on grass. With fresh horses on the grass for the first time this year, some new members who have only ever done sand school practices this is not the ideal preparation.
Because tournament preparations would need to begin this weekend, we have decided to make this decision now rather than waiting until the last minute.
So, after much debate and with regret, we have taken the difficult decision to postpone the tournament until later in the season. We hope that this will prove of more benefit to the club as members will have had more of a chance to get their horses competition fit and back into the swing of playing, benefit from some coaching and start to form some playing partnerships.
We intend to get on the pitches as soon as possible, and have a good coaching session and training chukkas that Sunday instead. And we have already started discussions on when to reschedule the tournament.
We hope this does not cause you too much disappointment, and look forward to seeing you out on the grass soon.
