Association Croquet
The Tour remain a popular fixture in the club calendar, but some adjustments to the itinerary have become
appropriate which have lately changed its centre of gravity more towards the south than the south west. This year it is
again 7 consecutive days, though because of the numbers participating it is effectively split into two
consecutive half-length tours.
Tour organiser: André Machell.
