Forbes croquet players gather to relax in the shade before the game.
Last Saturday, 22 February Aussie Croquet was played with 34 in attendance. It was a warmer morning but everyone seemed to enjoy the game. Visiting once again was Sandra Roberts, Mackenzie, Indi and Evie Thomson. It was lovely to see them back again enjoying a game.
On the day, three games were won by Geoff Coles, John Farah, Elvy Quirk, Kevin Rubie and Neville Spry. Congratulations to those players.
On Tuesday 25 February Golf Croquet was played with 33 in attendance, where it was found to be extremely warm during the third game, nevertheless players enjoyed the morning.
All three games were won by Sue Jolliffe, Elvy Quirk and Bill Scott. Congratulations to those players. A special thank you once again to John Farah who has been bringing his esky with water which is supplied by the Club . A saviour on the hot days.
Our Croquet lawns are in pristine condition with the recent watering by John Browne, Allan Jones and May Jones and of course topped up by the recent rain. A very special thank you and as well to the dedicated members who help set up each day.
It was lovely to again see Sandra Roberts come and once again enjoy a game with us and I am sure that her dad, Vince, enjoys her visits.
Our Seniors Week Open Day will be held on 4 March when Golf Croquet will be played. Should you be interested in trying the game please come down to Halpins Flat at 8.30am on the day and you will be paired with an experienced player to get to know the game. The day is free of charge and a scrumptious morning tea will be served. Croquet is a game for young and old, so we warmly invite you come along and try.
