The August 21st and 22nd 2018 two-day Summer School, hosted once again at Wrest Park CC, attracted five enthusiastic and talented young croquet players from across the country.

From L to R they are Eden Rogers, Euan Burridge, James Galpin, Albie Willett and Ryan Gray.

More had registered but unfortunately three pulled-out due to last-minute difficulties.

James, Albie and Eden were part of last year's intake and had brought along another of that successful group of Ipswich young players, Ryan.

A combination of AC and GC tuition interspersed with GC and AC one-ball round-robins helped to keep boredom at bay for these up-and-coming stars of the future.

Thanks to Ian Burridge for taking some of the AC tuition and especially to the parents for trekking across country.

The Barlow Bowl was won by an undefeated Sarah Hayes with the runner-up Beatrice McGlen being presented with the Eastbourne brooch.

The Longman Cakestand was a long and hard fought battle and there were still 3 contenders after tea earlier today. Sophie McGlen and Julia Lowery both played extremely well – the eventual winner with 4 wins out of 5 was Wendy Wu.

So both the Bowl and Cakestand are held by Cheltenham Members and the Club Vice President – Eileen Magee – was kind enough to do the presentations.
