25th Anniversary of the mother of all elephant polo tournaments (a message from Tiger Tops, Nepal)
It seems like the World Elephant Polo Association was established at Tiger Tops in Nepal only a few years back and its quite amazing to realise that with a blink, years have passed by so quickly. Its now time for the 25th anniversary of the most unusual sport of the year – World Elephant Polo Tournament at Tiger Tops. The silver jubilee of one of the world’s unique games has been set for November 26th to December 2nd, 2006. To celebrate this wonderful event, friends of Elephant Polo from around the world are participating this year along with our regular teams, Tiger Tops Tuskers, British Gurkhas, National Park and sponsors for many years Chivas Scotland.
A WEPA Ball organised in London on the 21st October, 2006 to celebrate the 25th anniversary was a great success. Monies were raised for charity including International Trust for Nature Conservation (ITNC), a London registered Charity Number 281101 ( www.itnc.org ) as well as for community development in Chitwan and Nawalparasi in Nepal.
We wish all participants all the very best for the grand game of 2006.
