A M ESSAGE FROM THE T INICUM P ARK P OLO C LUB P RESIDENT
Dear Tinicum Park Polo Fans and Supporters,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, volunteers and our Playing and Social Members, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 28th Season of the Tinicum Park Polo Club. For almost three decades, the Tinicum Park Polo Club has enjoyed the extraor- dinary opportunity to play at Tinicum Park in Bucks County and provide fun and exciting entertainment for all. We are proud that Tinicum Park Polo has become a model for many others and is recognized by the United States Polo Association (USPA) as one of the largest clubs on the East Coast. We are especially grateful that Bucks County Parks continues to work closely with us to keep our Saturday polo matches open and safe in these pandemic-challenged times. As of this writing we may still have some capacity limitations, require groups to socially distance from each other, and require face masks when walking
between groups. With these procedures in place we were able to fully complete our 2020 season after only a four-week opening delay, and so with everyone’s compliance with our 2021 guidelines we’re looking forward to completing our full slate of matches this year. Tinicum Park Polo Club is unlike any other polo club. We take great pride in our collaborative and inclusive member- ship. Tinicum Park Polo began in 1993 when its founders began to play on this beautiful field along the Delaware River in Erwinna, Pennsylvania. What began as a “let’s try it and see” arrangement with the Bucks County Park System has blossomed into a 28-year partnership, now recognized as one of the county’s prime attractions for locals and tourists alike. We look forward to seeing you at our regularly scheduled Saturday games, USPA Tournaments, as well as our upcoming special events. The founding principle of Tinicum Park Polo Club has been to make the sport accessible to all – from those just getting started to more seasoned and professional players of all ages; and to make our match days a delightful experience for our social members, avid fans and families, tourists, and sponsors. We take great pride in our Club and are very grateful for your continued patronage and support. The Board of Directors and I also wish to express our yearly thank-you to Hesham El Gharby, Club Manager and a founder, for all of his hard work and expert stewardship of Tinicum Park Polo Club for over 28 years now. Wishing you all a great season. See you at the field!
Respectfully,
Barclay Knapp President
