Membership of the club is open to anyone interested in taking up, playing or supporting croquet. We aim to be inclusive and welcoming to all, with a membership as diverse as the wider community.
Croquet is a comparatively affordable sport as the club supplies all the equipment you will need, including an excellent choice of club mallets, and also provides free coaching at all levels. Experienced players generally purchase their own mallet eventually rather than using club mallets, but unlike golf players, you only need one!
Do check out the links under this menu for more details of our 2025 to 2026 subscription costs, our facilities, the benefits of membership, and the expectations of members (including our club rules and policies). N.B subscription costs for season 2026 to 2027 are liable for change at the 2026 AGM.
If you wish to apply for membership for the new season starting at the beginning of April 2026, there will be a Membership Application Form available here in March 2026. You will then be able to tender your subscription by bank transfer if possible or by cheque otherwise. (Payment details will be on the form). The form is usually completed and handed in at the club premises.
Membership of Nottingham Croquet Club will give you the added benefit of automatic enrolment to our sport’s national governing body, Croquet England, for which – among other benefits – you will receive the Croquet Gazette every two months and be able to read about croquet all over the country.
The club will keep details of its members on computers in accordance with its Data Protection and Privacy Policy. Contact details of members who agree to share them are published in the Club Handbook provided to all members.
