A meeting was held at Woolwich, on July 22nd, which was well attended by 
those interested in polo; Colonel Elliot Lockhart in the chair. 
It was decided that a Polo Ponv Club would be very beneficial to the game at 
Woolwich, and also prove an assistance to the R.A. team in the inter-regimental 
tournament. The idea is that the club should provide a certain number of ponies 
which can be hired out to members at the rate of £2 5s. Od. per month for the 
summer months ; during this period they will be kept by the hirer, and by the 
club during the winter. By these means it is hoped that more officers will be 
able to play polo, and that the class of pony will be improved. 
A committee was appointed consisting of :— 
President : 
Major Holland, R.H.A. 
Members : 
Captain Han well, R.A., 
„ Mackenzie, R.A., 
Lieut. Sandars,-R;A., 
„ Lamont, R.H.A. 
The committee to have the entire management of the ponies, their purchase, 
sale, and keep during the winter. 
Rules, which can be seen in the Mess or on application to the committee, were 
drawn up and approved. The sum of J61,500 has been borrowed at 1 °/ Q over 
bank rate, and the purchase of ponies has already commenced. 
It is hoped that officers who are interested in the furtherance of the game in 
the Regiment will become non-playing members, the subscription for which is 5s. 
a month, which will entitle them to the use of ponies at Gymkhanas, and to drive 
or hack during the winter. 
On the whole the polo season at Woolwich may be regarded as a successful one. 
We should certainly have liked to have seen a few more players and we hope 
that the new pony club will bring about the desired result next season. 
Play commenced on the 18th April and continued without interruption until 
18th August when the batteries left Woolwich for manoeuvres.
