Wish all you polo lovers a very happy 150th year.
Its an honour , I must say, for all of us who can experience the birth place of modern polo.

It all started back then in 1858 when two british soldiers Captain Robert Stewart and Major Gen Joe Shearer witnessed a game "Sagol Kangjei" being played by locals of Manipur. Both officers were so captivated by the experience that they quickly introduced the game to their peers, and then established the "Calcutta Polo Club" in the year 1861-62.Thereafter the club created the new organized format of the game and set "The first rule book for Modern Polo" .

Polo then spread like wild fire through out England and is now played about in 80 countries.

Located in the centre of the race course (Defence Land) with its rich heritage, Calcutta Polo Club (CPC) continues to pride itself for its warm and friendly atmosphere whilst offering a world-class riding and polo facility to its members and guests. The Polo Grounds, namely, The Pat Williamson Ground offers a breathtaking view of the Victoria Memorial and Vidyasagar Setu.

Founded a century and half back, the club perhaps best embodies the "Mystique of Polo" in modern India.

This is luxury preserved and nurtured with a passion and love for the game.

If you have the will to play,
We are here to make a way.

Happy polo-ing
Cheers
