New Connections
Last night there was a meeting held between the Livingstone Reserve, Litchfield Horse & Pony Club and the Litchfield Polocrosse Club to discuss a working relationship between our three clubs. This was a very positive meeting and now with the construction of the day yards well underway we will be looking at putting in for grants to bring the playing field both up to size requirements and a suitable surface to play on. Exciting times ahead for the club

We now have 20 yards completed at the reserve, this is enough to hold trainings at the reserve before the season starts.

Surveyers Onsite
Today we had the guys from Earl James & Associates at the reserve taking levels of the playing field and the dirt mound to the north of the existing playing surface. Unfortunatlly due to the continuing rain the next set of 8 yards will not be installed until next week.

First Yard Block Completed
After the rains over the last few days thanks to the work of Blake Evans of BedRock Concreting we now have our first bank of 12 yards installed and are now about to start the install of the next section. With these yards completed we are now able to hold trainings at the Livingstone facility and hopefully will be playing carnivals here by next season.

Stable Site
The clearing of the gamba grass started on the 10th of April for the install of the first 20 day yards unfortunatly the rain came in and work has stopped until the ground drys out a bit. Today we had the first civil contractor come and look at the reserve to quote the work required to complete the playing field.

FIRST TRAINING
We had 20 club members come down to Livingstone for our first throw around at the reserve but unfortunatly the weather was not on our side with heavy rain not only limiting our chance to throw the ball around but cutting down the space inside to eat. For those that came and had a meal thankyou for the effort and we will see you again for some preseason traing on the horses before the season starts again at the Livingstone Reserve.

New Club Sponsors
This year we have had new sponsors come on board and become apart of the Litchfield Polocrosse family. If all members can support these business when possible as the success of their business reflects the level of support they are able to offer us as a club. With this I'd like to welcome Coolalinga & District Bank, Earl James & Associates, Humptydoo Dental Clinic and In & Out Board Marine.
Thankyou to these businesses for your support
