Chukka Caribbean Adventures Teams Up with Round Hill Hotel and Villas Adding Polo to the Famed Hanover Charities of Jamaica Sugar Cane Carnival Festivities
MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica; January 25, 2008 – Chukka Caribbean Adventures has partnered with Round Hill Hotel and Villas arranging a special polo match as a new addition to the famed Hanover Charities of Jamaica Sugar Cane Carnival festivities. The Sugar Cane Carnival Polo Match will be hosted by the Chukka Blue Polo Club, Sunday February 17, 2008 from 2pm to 6pm. VIP tickets are available for US$75.00 per person and to encourage participation by vacationers round-trip transportation from Montego Bay and Negril area hotels is included along with butler service, a performance by the Children’s Marching Band, High Tea Chukka style and all premium drinks. All proceeds for the Sugar Cane Carnival Polo Match will be donated to the non-profit Hanover Charities of Jamaica, one of the oldest charitable organizations in Western Jamaica raising funds for the needy since 1957.
There are two scheduled matches: a six-chukka, low-goal match featuring the up-and-coming young Jamaican players will begin at 2:00pm and the main event, a six-chukka, high-goal match pitting Round Hill Hotel and Villas against Chukka Caribbean Adventures will begin at 4:00pm. ‘The Best of the Best’ from the Jamaica Polo Association will be out fielding both teams including Jamaica’s very own Leslie Ann Masterton Fong Yee, a two goal player ranked among the top players world wide. Chukka Caribbean Adventures team will be lead by members of its board of directors John Byles and Marc Melville.
“Chukka Caribbean Adventures is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year,” says John Byles, co-managing director. “And what better way to honor a company founded on the spirit of polo and create what we hope will be an annual event to help support one of the oldest charitable organizations in Jamaica. After a twenty year absence Chukka Caribbean Adventures has reintroduced polo to western Jamaica at the Chukka Blue Polo Club and the Hanover Charities match will certainly be the highlight of our inaugural season.”
