Ever played croquet?

Seen it being played in Cassiobury Park? (We are near the Tea Pavilion by the Café in the Park)

Croquet is playable by all ages, and from absolute beginner to World Championship* level.

Why not find out more about this fascinating game? There's much more to it than you might think! Join us to have a try, and enjoy a cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit.

If you can't make it on 3rd May, then no problem! You can still come and try on many other days as well. But it would be best to contact us in advance to arrange a convenient time to make sure that your visit would not clash with another event.

All equipment will be provided and no special clothing is needed, but please wear flat-soled shoes or trainers to avoid damage to the lawns.

If you are interested and would like more information please contact us,
or call Kevin on 07718 660023. Or just turn up on the day.

*For many people croquet is just played socially, and if that is what you want that is fine. For some it is also a more serious competitive sport played at many levels from inter-club matches right up to World Championships. But since croquet is an amateur sport this side of the game gets little publicity. The World Croquet Federation staged the 2013 Championships in Surbiton, which were won by a 20-year-old from Australia, and his successor in the 2016 Championships held in West Palm Beach, Florida was a 62-year-old from England. Clearly croquet is indeed a game suitable for all ages! (And just a couple of months later in 2016 the new world champion was here at our courts in Cassiobury Park giving free coaching to some students!)
