Get on line in bid to attract sponsors

Equestrian Clearance.com in Sowerby Bridge is offering to help as part of its Save the Great British Equestrian Event campaign.

Whether you run a small, local show or are a larger and more established event, they would like to hear from you.

Show organisers and secretaries should write to Equestrian Clearance.com with the name and history of the event, a brief summary of the activities and disciplines held and numbers of spectators and competitors. They should also mention what sponsorship they are looking for such as cash or prizes and what a difference sponsorship would make to the event.

Write to: Emily Border, TSM, 1 Doncaster Road, Gunness, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire DN15 8TG. The closing date is July 31.

POLO lessons are proving to be the new fun idea for 'hen parties' according to the White Rose Polo Club near Market Weighton.

Its Summit Polo School is taking an increasing number of bookings from groups of women looking for something different for the pre-wedding party.

Claudia Weiler, director of the polo school, said: " We are hosting several hen parties in the coming weeks and months. I think brides-to-be are looking for something a little more unique these days and a polo hen party fits the bill."

Taster sessions involve learning how to hold the mallet and strike the ball on Woody, the club's wooden horse, before progressing onto the real thing and a chukka or two of polo. Call Claudia on 01430 875767.
