Polo

We have two active polo teams, who compete in the regional divisions.

The Pitbulls are currently in division 3 (South), but look like they might get demoted this year to division 4.

The Pussycats is a development squad to help bring others into the sport. At the moment they are competing within division 4.

I have now installed a new website, which uses WordPress. This means we can have a combination of pages supplied by the Webmaster, plus posts supplied by any club members.

If you’d like to be given a username so that you can post to this website, please contact the webmaster (Conor): webmaster@bristolcanoeclub.org.uk

Thanks – Conor
