Annual Young Georgians Polo Outing
Fairfield County Hunt Club
174 Long Lots Rd, Westport, CT 06880

 
Join your fellow YGs as we head up to the Fairfield County Hunt Club for our Seventh Annual Polo Outing! Gold’s Dragoons will square off against Squadron A for their annual charity match. Gates open at noon, with first chukker at 3 p.m.

First raised in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1657, Gold’s Dragoons are the second oldest chartered military unit in the Americas, the only colonial unit founded by Royal Charter, and the oldest cavalry unit in the Western Hemisphere. A successor volunteer Connecticut reserve force cavalry unit of the same name was re-raised, in 1932, from members of the Fairfield Hunt Club.

The Fairfield Hunt Club was a big factor in polo since its American inception and was affiliated with the US Polo Association in 1926. The tradition lives on with the annual Gold’s Dragoons Polo Cup championship game in the late summer, fought by members of Gold’s Dragoons which had supplied so many foxhunters and polo players over the years.

Tickets:
$25 for Young Georgians
$35 for non-member guests

Ticket includes access to the Young Georgian tailgate, with champagne and refreshments. Additional cash bar service and buffet lunch will be available in the clubhouse.

Private Tour: The Met American Wing
Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue

 
Alyce Englund, Curator of American Decorative Arts, will lead a group of AFGG members through The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s American Wing on September 24 when the museum is closed to the public.

Since its establishment in 1870, The Met has acquired significant examples of American art. A separate American Wing to display Euro-American domestic arts of the seventeenth to early nineteenth centuries opened in 1924; painting and sculpture galleries and a skylit courtyard were added in 1980. A major renovation and reinstallation of the Wing’s space and collection occurred between 2002 and 2012, and, in 2024, the department marked its 100th anniversary with a new reinstallation highlighting its history and ongoing evolution.
