Perfect timing, New Zealand’s JP Clarkin on the move
The winning team from L to R: Horst Herdtle (MD@PML), Tom de Bruin, Sonja Piontek
(BMW Asia), Carlos Pando, Sanny Khan, Ali Reda, Axel Pannis (BMW Asia) and
Rikard Hogberg (Singapore Polo Club)
commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It is quite a sight to
see grown adults standing on a chair with an empty Quaich (traditional
Scottish drinking Cup of the 17th and 18th Century used for drinking whisky
or brandy) atop their heads, however such is the nature of this peculiar but
rather elegant Scottish toast.
The festivities continued well into the night, with an eclectic playlist that
spanned the decades.
According to Sonja Piontek “The successful partnership between BMW and
the Singapore Polo Club is one which we strongly value and intend to develop
further with a full calender of events in 2017”. ■
