Anyone play polo at uni?

[teapot]

As above, anyone?

If so, roughly how much are you paying for sessions?

Thanks

I don't (not a member of the riding club any more, and as far as I know although they did try to start up polo they didn't manage) however Cambridge uni prices are on here:

One suspects those are those most you'll ever pay so work downwards from there

I did, but it was a few years ago now - I stopped when I graduated in 2004 - and we paid £10 a session I think, and £20 for a match

Thanks Vallin

UWE Polo Club info is £40 a session.

Bath uni *(whilst I was captain) used to be £30 or £40 per go.
Which Uni are you looking at???

It's the central University of London club (as I'm going to be studying at one of the research institutes, rather than a true university as such).

Thanks guys, so far not as expensive as I thought it would be

Do they have their own club or are they part of ULU?

It's the University of London club (so part of the London Student's Union as such) http://www.ulu.co.uk/polo

RVC is £45 this year so I'd expect ULU to be similar

I played with ULU for 5 yrs!! Its around £50 i think for beginners - can't remember if its £45 for beginners & £55 for novice or £50 for beginners & £60 for novice.

Not all London unis are with the University of London, so you can still practice with ULU, but you won't be able to compete for them if your uni isn't affiliated to ULU!!

I know how the ULU works having studied with them before & I can assure you my institute's part of UoL, given my working base will be above their central offices

I played at uni at Cambridge. It was actually the cheapest club, despite assumptions otherwise, as it is the only club to own it's own ponies (they currently have 11, although it was only 7 when I was there), so you don't pay for pony hire. True fact

It's really good fun. There's a guy in Cheshire too who does polo lessons (he intructs liverpool uni also I believe) called James Fielding. His lessons are affordable and really good so if any of you are up north, he's well worth a visit. This is the website:

I played with RHUL - we were separate to the ULU team which made it interesting when SUPA put us against them at tournaments! A few years ago now but we paid £30/lesson.

Yeah I chose the riding club over the polo when I was at RHUL Wish I hadn't really
