Hi All,
After getting responses from the teams over the last 2 weeks we are of the opinion that the risk is too high to continue with planning for March 2021.
Events are still severely curtailed by current legislation. We sense that with all the restrictions & controls, it might not be viable. With less or no spectators and fewer teams we lose the essence of the tournament anyway, whilst risk & liability (Health and Safety) issues could be a minefield for us to organise with getting permits and licences.
Our view is that we should wait for this C-19 dust to settle before we start making any concrete plans. Until then, there are far too many constraints to organise a massive sporting event like masters. This pains us and is very unfortunate and we apologise as we go into March 2021 without our beloved tournament where we enjoy the polo competition but mainly to have a beer with old friends.
Kind regards
Jared and committee
PS: In error we forgot to mention that we still wish to host the tournament next year but just delay it.
We are hoping to host in November when things have settled down. We are also thus hoping you can defer the accommodation and fights a few more months.
We have not secured dates as of yet but will hopefully send some news in Jan/Feb.
We are positive we can host a very lekker tournament in November.
Kind regards
MOB Committee
