Sponsorship at Ham Important Notice


Polo can be a dangerous sport (whether or not a game is actually in progress) and whilst we welcome all spectators we would like to point out that any persons at Ham Polo Club (HPC) are present at their own risk and should ensure that they, their property - and particularly their children - are kept at a safe distance from the field of play and from the pony lines and practice areas. Dogs should be kept on a lead during play. HPC will accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any kind of injury, loss or damage suffered by any person to their property while present at the HPC, whatsoever or howsoever that injury, loss or damage is caused.
