What? EFG Bicentennial Trophy When? Sunday 2nd August Where? Royal Military Academy Sandhurst Why? What better way to spend a summer afternoon? Wearing? Trousers in every shade of red Who? Army top brass, Officer Cadets, dashing polo players and HPA big guns including Brigadier John & Christiana Wright, Bob & Max Mehm, Col Dan Rex, Lt. Col Simon Ledger, Field Marshall Sir John & Lady Annabel Chapple, Army Polo Coach Gaston Devrient, Keith & Nicola Gapp, to name but a few Sam Churchill Photography The sun shone down on a wonderful day of polo at Sandhurst, during the EFG Bicentennial Trophy. Graciously hosted by EFG, we took the opportunity to enjoy pitch-side champagne, before being welcomed into the marquee by EFG’s Head of Strategy & Marketing, Keith Gapp and the Commandant of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, MajorGeneral Stuart Skeates. After a delicious three-course lunch, Cambridge Select One took on a Hackett Young Army team, a match which saw the Officer Cadets score an easy victory. Spectators vied for shade, and cooled off with chilled glasses of Pimm’s as the sun beat down, whilst they enjoyed musical entertainment from The Band of The Parachute Regiment between matches. After the second contest of the day, a thrilling, high-speed affair, played between Cambridge Select Two vs EFG/British Army Select, our quintessentially English afternoon was rounded off with more champagne and canapés on the steps of the Old College.
