1. Polo at the Myopia Hunt Club!
On Sunday, September 18, we'll be having a drive, lunch and Polo viewing of the Ferrari Maserati Cup polo match at Myopia Polo, Hamilton, MA, sponsored by Ferrari Maserati of New England. We'll start at The Commons reception hall in Topsfield ( www.topsfieldcommons.com), where we'll have complimentary espressos, cappuccinos and Italian desserts, courtesy of Frank & Kristi Martino, fellow members and huge tifosi! From there, we'll have a nice scenic drive through several quaint towns on the North Shore, including Manchester-By-the-Sea, Gloucester, Rockport, Essex, Ipswich and Topsfield. We'll stop for lunch at Woodman's, famous for inventing the fried clam. After we consume mass quantities of seafood, we'll press onwards to "spectate" on the oldest existing polo field in the US.
Free admission to everyone driving Ferraris and Maseratis! "The Polo Club’s lush fields and tall evergreens are evidence of the long tradition of the sport. The first match was played here in 1888 on the oldest existing polo field in the United States. This is the 117th season of Myopia Polo, 1888-2005, and will offer spectators some of the finest competitive polo in the country." Polo starts at 3:00 pm, the gates open at 1:30 pm, and we’ll arrive around 2:00 pm. We will have reserved parking for Ferraris and Maseratis right along the edge of the field. The match lasts until about 5:00pm - and then there is an awards ceremony, with all children receiving a free souvenir. There will be two club teams competing for the Ferrari Maserati Cup. Also, there is a tradition at half-time where the audience is invited onto the field for divot stomping!
If there is inclement weather, you may phone the POLO info line: 978.468.7656 (POLO) for a recorded message regarding weather cancellation. Attendees should be prepared for sun, and dress is business casual; jeans and t-shirts not recommended - shorts, capris, khakis and collared-shirts for men. Blankets or chairs are encouraged, and there will be pavilion seating available.
If you can't meet us for the drive and lunch, please feel free to meet us at the club. Tailgating is encouraged - bring a picnic. Beer and wine are acceptable. The setting is beautiful and attendees can arrive early. We have a limited number of free admission tickets for those of you who can’t drive your Ferrari or Maserati to the event.
