Two of our members, Euan Burridge and Jack Good, are currently in Tasmania representing England in the Golf Croquet World Team Championships  where they (with team-mates Aston Wade and Jamie Burch) are competing against the other top 7 countries for the Openshaw Shield.  Links to progress reports, and live streaming with commentary can be found here . The event ends on 23rd Feb. Full details here and scores can be followed here .

We’re very proud that Declan MacPhee, one of our juniors whose game has gone from strength to strength, has been invited to play in the prestigious Under 21 Golf Croquet Word Championships in Florida this April. A second international event is also a possibility. The costs of travel and accommodation would not be affordable for his family, one of whom would accompany him for safeguarding reasons. Declan’s uncle, Chris, has therefore started a crowd funding campaign.

The club does not currently have a bursary scheme for worthy cases such as this so we cannot make a contribution on your behalf. However we commend this crowd funder to any members who wish to support Declan.

Many thanks to all who have supported him this far, especially the junior coaching squad.
