Hello and welcome, not only to the BDPC’s 2009 season but also to our new blog! This blog is just one of BDPC’s new online ventures created to provide a link to the global polo community. We at the Black Diamond Polo Club would like to learn what others are doing in polo and at their clubs, and share what we do at ours. Perhaps through communication and strengthening our polo community, we can all enhance our polo experience.
The BDPC Blog will be our club “newsletter”. We have also created a means by which BDPC can provide live updates for field conditions, game times, match-game and tournament results and photos which can be followed either online or you can be notified by text on your mobile phone…BDPC on Twitter. Curious as to what BDPC looks like? Want to have a look? Check out our online photo album on Flickr.
We have not restricted ourselves to online change at BDPC, we are also developing our facilities. Plans have been made and action is being taken on three new projects, we are building more paddocks to accommodate both new members and visiting players, a new bathroom facility is to be built and new furniture for the clubhouse deck as well!
The 2009 season has begun at last! The field was opened for stick & ball action on Saturday May 23rd, we had some casual chukkas on Tuesday and Thursday evening and the action continues on Saturday morning at 11am!
Our next event? Rege Ludwig comes to the Black Diamond Polo Club this June 5th, 6th, and 7th to give a clinic. This clinic was a huge success last year despite poor weather (indoor arena & mechanical hitting horse helped with that!), we hope for more sun this time around:) This event has sold out for the 2nd year in a row!
Oh, if you are one that is into the new social networking craze…BDPC has something for you! We have a facebook group, a facebook page and another group on Polo Contacts Worldwide.
Many thanks to PoloZONE for inspiration, information, and for being such a great resource for all in polo!
Well, that’s about all for now, time to ride.
Go on up, I’ll hit it to you.
