PRINCE William and Prince Harry will be giving the annual Chakravarty Cup their support this Saturday July 10th at The Beaufort Polo Club.
The Chakravarty Cup raises funds and sponsorship for a number of charities and is named after Saroj Chakravarty, a Patron of The Prince’s Trust. This hugely popular annual event includes a polo match, a polo demonstration and a prize giving.
This year’s beneficiaries include three charities supported by The Princes: the English Schools’ Swimming Association, the Henry Van Straubenzee Memorial Fund and Wellchild. The Cup’s total donations have now exceeded £1 million, with 2009’s Chakravarty Cup donating over £50,000 to the designated charities.
All are welcome to attend this prestigious event which is guaranteed to be a thrilling spectacle for polo lovers and a great social event too. Bring family, friends and a picnic and enjoy a great day out in beautiful countryside and watch the sporting action from the sidelines.
