A VIP experience at Clevedon’s Land Rover NZ Polo
Open
For an exhilarating
and elegant polo experience, the Auckland Westpac Rescue
Helicopter VIP Marquee at the Land Rover NZ Polo Open, to be
held in Clevedon on Sunday 19th February is already proving
it will be a great place to be for Auckland’s sporting and
social event of the summer.
With limited tickets and all
proceeds going to the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust,
guests to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter VIP Marquee can
enjoy a Veuve Clicquot Champagne reception, exquisite
cuisine throughout the day and the thrill of being front and
centre amongst the action as some of the world’s best polo
players compete at high speed on horseback in New
Zealand’s Premier Polo Championship.
“The Land Rover
NZ Polo Open is a fantastic spectator event and gives us the
opportunity to engage with the audience,” says Nathan
Turley, Event Manager for The Auckland Rescue Helicopter
Trust who has been involved with the event for the past
three years.
Servicing the greater Auckland and
Coromandel region, the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust
operates two Westpac Rescue helicopters flying over 1000
missions each year, from accident and injury to emergency
medical and search and rescue work.
“We’re thrilled
to have The Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust as our official
charity and we are excited by the number of guests wanting
to join in this VIP marquee. To help an amazing organisation
continue their enormous amount of volunteer work is
important to us,” says Clevedon based Hannah Marshall,
Executive Director of the Land Rover NZ Polo Open, “The
Westpac Rescue Helicopter help so many people in
need.”
Polo player Tom Hunt was one of those people in
need when he was rescued by the Auckland Westpac Rescue
Helicopter in 2007 following a horse and polo player
collision. Only 19 at the time, Hunt was representing New
Zealand in a polo match against Pakistan in Clevedon when
the accident happened. Today, resilient Hunt is a
professional sportsman playing polo around the world and
will take the field as a star player in February’s Land
Rover NZ Polo Open.
Established in 1977 and celebrating its 40th anniversary, the NZ Polo Open is a highly competitive event on the world polo calendar that showcases the ultimate in polo - from players from New Zealand, Australia, Argentina, England and South Africa competing for the coveted title on a world class polo field, to top New Zealand polo ponies, luxury brands and the best in fashion and style.
