CLUB DAYS
Apart from when it clashes with the event calendar above, Club members meet each week during the
playing season as follows. Club members who turn up at the lawns on one of these occasions can usually expect to get a
game. At other times it is generally advisable to plan a specific game with another club member in advance. A list of
members' contact details is posted inside the club hut.
New in 2019: Two of the club's four courts are allocated to the regular sessions listed above; the other two
courts can be used for either Association or Golf Croquet on any day and at any time (except on occasions when allocated to a
club match or tournament), and can be booked in advance by members using the online
Court Booking System.
In addition, non-members are welcome to visit for free in up to three club sessions to try it out before being
asked to join. Just turn up and speak to a member. Equipment will be provided by the club. All we ask is that you wear
flat-soled shoes.
COACHING
An Introduction to Croquet course for 2019 will be held on
Sundays 5 and 12 April from 10:00 - 12:30. If you are interested in this course please
contact us. There is a fee of £15 which is deductible from this year's membership fee if you join the club.
In addition to any more formal courses that might be arranged, free informal coaching for both
Association and Golf Croquet is generally offered by the more experienced players on club days on an ad hoc basis
to both existing club members and prospective new members.
