The Gigaset International Test Match; Beaufort Polo Club; Saturday 13 June
Beautiful Beaufort Day one of the Gloucestershire Festival of Polo, held at Beaufort Polo Club on Saturday 13 – Sunday 14 June, saw an impressive turnout of crowds for the Gigaset International Test Match ahead of the Princes’ Charity match and the U15 Javier Novillo Astrada Cup on the Sunday. The weather brightened throughout the day, and the well wrapped-up crowds who gathered to watch the world-class polo were delighted by the range of entertainment provided by the event. There were many shopping opportunities, from luxurious cashmere and jewellery, to beautiful leatherwork, delicious food and the odd tipple from Pinkster’s Gin! Spotted amongst the crowds were the regulars from the HPA contingent enjoying their newly branded marquee next to the grandstand, joined by off-duty players making the most of a relaxing weekend. See main feature in Reports’ section. Lucy Lewis’ Spindle & Harry relax during the second match of the day
