Just before I go any further, my house is For Sale, so, anyone interests
follow this link.
Well, I managed to get away to Spain for a week away with the family, only, due to last years British Club Champs meeting where everyone said they didn't want it to be on the bank holiday weekend, I thought I would be fine being away that weekend, only to find it was all changed back again. Anyway, sorry I missed you all, but we had a great time and the weather was fab too ! I was on a work trip down to Montpellier, South of France last month, and while I had the weekend to recover from the non-stop (except for the all too frequent fuel stops for the poxy hired Kia Caren) driving, we came across a spot of beach volleyball in the city centre. We had to endure some boring kids games before we got to watch the fun stuff ! Second up, is the Millau Viaduct. Very stunning ! We hit this at about 5am so the photos weren't so stunning (in the dark) as when we left on the monday morning. I took the liberty of taking a Surf Sit-ontop kayak (a prototype by Mega), so we managed a couple of sessions surfing. But, take a look at the last photo. This has to be just about the most perfect polo competition site - perfect for a large scale event for many pitches with easy refing on both sides. I know there is a kayak club here, as we saw they have really nice facilities, and I even saw the University of Montpellier polo club mini bus at the Charleroi International. I'm Just wondering why I hadn't heard of polo competition here.
I'll be heading back down there again in July with the family, but this time taking a little more time and heading via Disneyland Paris on the way south for the benifit of my four year old. So if anyone has an sensible ideas of what else we might do on the way, then please let me know. Clyde |

IMPORTANT Andy Dancer is the Chief Referee for the BCU Canoe Polo Committee. He should only be contacted on principle issues not directly covered by the information already provided on the Polo Committee Website. Please do not ask him things you can easily find out yourself just by reading. He is a very busy chap ! Beverley Dancer is the Refereeing Administrator. Beverley is a busy lass ensuring the database of referees is as up to date as possible (given the information she has). Please only contact Beverly if you want to know when you re-assessment is due of if you are a league organiser and want to check on the status of team's nominated refs. |

Clyde's Polo Kit Supplies is being sidelined a little, so no new stock will be ordered. Best to give me a shout if there is something you need as there are lots of items still around, which might save you a wait through other sources. Many items will be cheaper than previously advertised. |

Please remember that this page has a wide
International readership. If you have any news or a special invitation to polo players outside your country, then let me know about it and I will include it here. |

Anyone who would like to be assessed by me can ask me whenever they see me. I will shortly post a list of events where some assessors will be.

Most of the comments on these pages are personal opinions of Clyde (aka Paul Hammond). Since he is no longer the Chief Referee here in Britain, there are no added confusions and anything written here on the matter of rules would be from the capacity of just another Referee giving his personal opinion. If you don't like it, then complain to head office - Hammond towers, 1st floor, South East London - where all the yobs come from, bordering North Kent (Garden of England apparently - have you seen it ?), UK, The affiliated part of Europe which is more or less as far as most Brits (not including Clyde - 'cause he likes to travel) would ever want to go.
