InterContinental Hotel Supports British Polo Day Singapore

To celebrate the Singapore Polo Club’s 125th anniversary, as well as the historical connection between Singapore and Britain, InterContinental Hotel Singapore is giving its support to the British Polo Day Singapore, which will be held in the country for the first time on Saturday, 19 November 2011.

The British Polo Day, which features roving international matches of high-profile Polo teams, aims to promote the heritage of the game of Polo in every country it travels to, as well as to further strengthen and bridge cultures.

“Like the Singapore Polo Club, the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand, which has presence in more than 60 countries with over 60 years of experience and growing, has a strong connection with Britain,” said Tash Tobias, General Manager, InterContinental Singapore. “The British Polo Day Singapore is a great platform for us to highlight an important part of our rich InterContinental heritage.”

The InterContinental Singapore will be providing F&B hospitality support for the British Polo Day Singapore players and VIP guests, as well as accommodation to the British Army Polo team.

Highlights of the British Polo Day Singapore include key matches between the British Army Polo and the Singapore Polo Club for the Land Rover Cup; and between Eton and Harrow for the Pelham Bell Pottinger Trophy. Other attractions throughout the day include a thrilling show jumping display, a glamorous Champagne reception on the Polo Club Terrace, a VIP lunch, a charity auction and raffle draw, a traditional BBQ at sundown, and dancing late into the evening with a DJ.

To share the fun, InterContinental Singapore is giving away three sets of prizes, each valued at Sin$650, and which comprises a pair of picnic tickets to the event and one night’s accommodation at the hotel’s newly refurbished Shophouse rooms.

 The InterContinental Singapore contest ends 15 November 2011, 17:00 (GMT+08:00).
