Taster Sessions
Taster dates 2024:
April Vets - May 8th
September Freshers- TBC
Taster sessions begin when the term starts in September and April, giving anyone who has never tried the sport before a chance to do so! At just £35 these are massively discounted taster sessions, subsidised by the club. The aim is to give all prospective members a chance to try polo before buying membership. We encourage everybody to come along, so even if they decide polo isn't for them they can at least say they gave it a go! We also like to think that they give our new members a really good taste of the culture of our club and challenge some common misconceptions about polo and the people who play it!
These sessions will be held at Offchurch Bury Polo Club, with a minibus to take you there and back. The sessions will comprise of an overall introduction to polo, with a short session on the ground with hand mallets to run through the basic shots and then plenty of time on the ponies out on the pitch.
All abilities are welcome! You'll be put into appropriate lessons depending on your riding experience and you'll be allocated suitable ponies.
More Details
The taster sessions will operate on a first come, first served basis. To sign up to one of our sessions you'll need to purchase a ticket from our SU page. These tickets will be released a week prior to each session. Make sure you sign up to our interest list and follow our social media to ensure you don’t miss out on this great opportunity.
There are 20 spaces per session. A minibus will pick you and the committee up from Portland Building two hours before your session (don't worry it won't usually take this long to get to Offchurch!) and we will leave Offchurch at 5 at the latest. When we get back to campus, we'll head to Mooch in Portland Building for some food and a drink where you'll be able to chat to the committee, other club members and to the other people in your session!
