The rhythm
A Sunday at the ground
- I
13:00, gates open
Lunch on the verandah, picnics on the lawn, ponies warming up behind the stables.
- II
15:00, first chukka
Four or six chukkas of seven minutes, with ponies changed between each.
- III
Half time, treading in
Everyone walks on to the field to press the divots back. It is tradition, and it is fun.
- IV
17:30, prizes
The cup on the pavilion steps, then tea as the light goes gold.
Before you come
Fixture questions
What if it rains
The season runs in the dry months, so it rarely does. If the ground is unsafe, the umpires delay or move the fixture and tickets carry over.
Can I bring a picnic
Yes, on the lawn enclosure. Please take rubbish home, and no glass near the boards.
Is there a dress code
Smart and comfortable on the lawn. Members’ pavilion: no shorts or sportswear. Flat shoes help for treading in.
Before you leave the room
See the two big days
The Coal City Open in January and the Hartwell Cup final in February have their own rooms.
