Gossip
The high goal season may have only just finished, but Polo Times has already heard murmuring of what we can expect to see come the 2016 season. If rumours are true, one big change will be the move of 10 goaler, Pelon Stirling, to the Pailloncy’s HB side. Following six years with the Hanburys, it’s a fresh start for both Pelon and HB, as 2016 will be the first time they have hired a 10 goal player for the UK high goal. Another, and perhaps more surprising one are the whispers that Lyndon Lea’s Zacara will not be playing at all. Following their strong presence in recent years, surely they’re not ready to leave the UK high goal behind?
Argentine 1 goaler Guille O’Flaherty and Tashan Polo Manager, Posey Cottrell tied the knot on Saturday 11 July, surrounded by family and friends at West Hoathly. The reception was hosted at the Cottrell family seat in Turners Hill, West Sussex.

THE CHALLENGES CONTINUE
Bobby Melville, who successfully rowed the Atlantic back in 2013, has just completed yet another tough challenge. Melville, together with Sam Browne, his partner and Co-Founder of IGO Adventures, climbed to the summit of Ben Nevis as part of a Strive Challenge for Big Change. The great test involved a 50 miles run/ walk to the base of Ben Nevis, while on the final day they proceeded to hike to the top. The duo raised an impressive £3,000. Polo Times has also heard that Bobby and Lucinda Lowe became engaged whilst holidaying in Italy. Many congratulations!
