Croquet Notes

August 21, 2020 by Maggi Barnard

Last Tuesday 34 players took to the fields for their much-enjoyed game of Golf Croquet. It is indeed pleasing to see so many enjoying the game, especially on a much warmer morning. The close score games on the day were:

• Lyn Simmonds, Libby Smart def John Cole, Tony Thomson 6.
• Dorelle Scott, Sandy Hepburn 7 def Bill Scott, Ray Burridge 6.
• Bob Murray, Joan Littlejohn 7 def Neville Spry, Lorraine Todd 6.
• Colleen Liebich, John Allegri 7 def Neville Spry, Sally Perry 6.
• Geoff Coles, Robyn Pols 7 def John MacCullagh, John Job 6.
• Jill Rubie, Bruce Field 7 def Merv Langfield, Sally Perry 6.

The winners of all three games were John Allegri, Geoff Coles, Bob Murray, Jill Rubie, Kevin Rubie, Mal Smith and Tony Thomson. Congratulations to all players.

Unfortunately, Aussie Croquet was again cancelled on Saturday due to inclement weather.

A general meeting was held last Tuesday, and a new ruling was made that players must arrive at the courts 10 minutes before the commencement time, so that names can go into the draw and play can commence on time.
