Come Celebrate World Croquet Day

April 10, 2025 by Elvy Quirk

Everyone is invited to join the Forbes Cro­quet Club in celebrating World Croquet Day on 1 May with a special morning of Aus­sie Croquet followed by a light lunch in the shade area. Should there be some players who have not played Aussie Croquet and wish to play Golf Croquet on the day they will certainly be catered for.

Of course daylight savings finished on Sunday 6 April and we put our clocks back one hour but Croquet will still start at 9am with 8.45am arrival until the days get much cooler and then we will alter the time so as the members who set up certainly will not need to come as early.

Any members who feel they would like to help set up please come down at 8am, your help would be much appreciated as some of us that have been setting up for many years are getting to a mature age where we don’t bounce around like we used to.

Croquet is a game for young and old.

Age is no barrier. “Croquet players are happy people.”
