UKPA
Inter Regionals 2010 - Because this time it's Regional.....
Breaking News: Proposed
date change of Inter regionals to 25th and 26th of September
Due to unavoidable circumstances it seems
likely that we will have to push back the date of the Inter
regionals to the 25th and 26th of September. We realise
this is month after Nationals and at the moment there are
no tournaments planned in that month.
The executive would really like to see the
Inter regionals return and be big and successful this year
and are working on a number of ideas to make it different
and exciting. We hope that all clubs members will be willing
to keep their horses fit during the month of September and
that clubs are willing to organise training and tournaments
as well.
The only other alternative is probably to
cancel the inter regionals which we do not wish to do. We
welcome the feedback of all UKPA members so if you have
any comments please email Jeff Parr on secretary@ukpolocrosse.co.uk
or talk to your regional executive officer
About the Inter
Regionals
The UKPA Inter Regionals will see the five regions of the
UKPA take each other on to decide who is the strongest.
The competition will be held across various grades to include
players of all ages and all abilities.
The Inter Regionals used to take place every year but last
took place in 2005 at Suffolk Show Ground and since then
has not been held. It always used to be that the regions
took it in turn to host it but after 2005 enthusiasm for
the competition seemed to flag and they ceased to happen.
The UKPA have decided that they should return this year
for numerous reasons; the most important ones being that
there seemed to be once again be a desire for them, there
was a request from the membership for a longer season and
more competitions for them to play in and also because it
was thought it would be a good way to strenghten the regional
structure of the UKPA and to help people feel like they
belonges to something more than just their club.
Further details of the competition and the venue will be
announced shortly. The five regions of the UKPA are the
North, the South, the East, the Midlands and Wales. Full
details of which counties belong in each can be found in
the UKPA yearbook, which can be accessed by clicking
