Nov 20 - Hi, My name is Kerry Gibson and I am 32 years old. Firstly I would like to congratulate the NZ team for their great effort at Warick in May this year. It was a thrilling week of club and world cup Polocrosse. Well worth the long drive from North QLD.
I am currently living in Bowen, Queensland Australia and have been playing Polocrosse competively for three years after many years of Dressage and Eventing. I am coming home to NZ for a business holiday in December and January and world love some information of when any carnivals will be held etc so that I can come and watch. I may be moving back to NZ for a couple of months a year and am hoping to be able to play the Australian and possibly the NZ Season in the coming years.
I would like some contacts of clubs available to join. I am also interested in some contacts of either quarter horse breeders or simular, we tend to play on first cross quarter horses or the Australian Stock horses. Look forward to any information you can give me.
Nov 17 - We are few riders in Stockholm who has tried out Polocrosse in South Africa.
We would like to start to play, but we lack equipment (and a good ground, skills etc, but that's a totally different story).
Any ideas where to by equipment online (preferable cheap), or even better, give away your old equipment for a good cause, spreading the polocrosse to the world....
Thanks in advance
Nov 1 - Two Norwegian girls with a long experience from riding and training racehorses will be travelling to Australia in December, for a 4 or 5 months' stay. They are looking for employment in a polocrosse yard or on a farm where people are involved with polocrosse. In the alternative, working with racehorses would also be of interest. Thea has played a little bit of polocrosse in Norway. She will have an Australian working visa. Gunhild has a holiday visa, and would work for her keep.

Jul 19 - I have had enquiries about "How to adjust a racquet". I have seen a "How To" with explanatary diagrams many years ago, but can't seem to locate it now. Does anyone know where to find this information? If anybody has it in a magazine or book, I would need to have the author's details to get permission to use it on the site. Just email me here at Polocrosse Worldwide.
Jul 10 - I am in a polocrosse club called the Hampshire Mr. Men in England. I am half an aussie and lived in Victoria for 4 years way back in the 80's and did quite a bit of riding whilst I was there. I would love to be in touch with some Victorian polocrosse players - but it looks like your site has not been updated since 2001. If anyone wants to chat about our club or what we do please give them my email. I knew Matt Still - a Queenslander - when he was over in the UK last year and he was the person who handed me a polocrosse raquet for the very first time!
