Clapper of the Week: Clapham Common Polo competitors

Toast Festival 2009 polo competition Clapham Common

This week’s Clapper is going like the clappers. Believe it or not, these stunning photos are from Clapham Common at the Toast Festival 2009 polo competition, the festival’s main highlight. From the first day, you can see South Africa vs Great Britain in the above picture. Great Britain won 7:6. Thanks to Eddie Clarke, who runs the Clapham Omnibus blog, for sending these in, see a selection of photos including the Umhlathuzi welcome singers in the rest of this post.

  • i’m continually bouncing about the web most of the week therefore I have the inclination to peruse a great deal, which unfortunately isnt generally a good matter as nearly all of the web sites I see are composed of worthless nonsense copied from several other internet sites a million times, however I have to give you credit this webpage is definitely quite informative and also has a bit of genuine information, for that reason many thanks for breaking the trend of merely replicating other peoples’ blogs, bye for now :)
