We're putting on some polo as part of the Cliff Hanger event (a great big climbing and outdoor pursuits festival). www.cliff-hanger.co.uk
This will run on the 2nd and 3rd of July (the weekend after the EHBPCs in Barcelona).
**Courts: **
Two courts (approx 30m x 18m) with a really good surface.
**Format: **
Depends on number of teams, but we definitely have two courts over two days. What we will definitely aim for is giving everyone as many games as possible, so either a full round robin or failing that as many Swiss rounds as we can fit in, followed by some sort of elimination to determine final placings.
**Rules: **
We'll adopt the National Series rule set.
**Accommodation: **
There's only a small number of us playing polo in Sheffield, so whilst we'll do our best to house people, there's a fair chance we'll not be able to accommodate everyone. If you've got any friends in Sheffield, start tapping them up now!
There is camping in conjunction with the event, with secure bike storage on-site.
Entry Fees and Camping:
Option 1: Register as an exhibitor
The organisers have agreed that we can get players registered as exhibitors. In order to do this, we (Sheffield Polo) will charge an entry fee of £18 per team (£6 per player). This will cover entry to Cliffhanger for the 2 days of polo, but this won't include any camping. We are taking names of anyone who wants a place to crash, if you're interested, please let us know.
Option 2: Camping and Cliffhanger entry deals.
The camping is approx. 1 mile away, more details are here:

We can provide a discount code for anyone who registers as an exhibitor (as above).
Registering as an exhibitor will take care of your entry to the event, and will also mean you can take advantage of discounted camping. (NB: anyone using the discount code who hasn't registered with us won't be able to get into the event.)
With this in mind, it would seem that the most practical deals would be:
*Register as an exhibitor (£6) and get 2 nights camping (Friday AND Saturday) for £17.05 per person inc. booking fee (total £23.05)
*Register as an exhibitor (£6) and get 1 night camping (Saturday) for £8.85 per person inc. booking fee (total £14.85)
