Club Competitions & Ladder

Each year we have a wide choice of competitions within the club, in various formats, for Association Croquet, Golf Croquet and Short Croquet, now organised by John Filsak. You may enter as many or as few club competitions as you like (so long as you have a reasonable expectation of completing them during the season). Some are knockouts, others are a block of up to 8 in which all play all. They are a good way to play against members who you may not yet know. Games can be arranged at mutual convenience during the season. There are prizes for the winners of the various competitions.

The draw is provided  in the form of a Google Spreadsheet with multiple tabs, they will also printed and posted on noticeboards in the east pavilion.

During the course of the season, you should contact the members you are due to play and arrange your games. Results should be recorded on the paper sheets on the east pavilion notice boards (not on the lawn booking system as previous years).

The club ladder enables  members to play games that count against others. Details will be posted in the east pavilion.

 

 

“Roll up” sessions

Roll-up sessions are slots when a number of lawns are pre-booked for casual play rather than pre-arranged games.

Club Day is every Tuesday afternoon and evening (1.30 pm to dusk), based at the west pavilion. Members may come at any time without booking and informally organise croquet games (whether AC, GC, SC, 1-ball, ricochet or even informal games such as Pirates) with anyone who is waiting. If no-one is waiting for a game, you may like to socialise over a beverage until a game is available. 

Thursday GC evenings. Cathy Turski hosts GC coaching sessions from 4pm to 6pm, and 6pm to 8pm, with the 4pm slot being mainly for the benefit of newer members.
