Croquet Notes

June 22, 2017 by Maggi Barnard

Twenty-five players took to the greens on Saturday with some close games recorded. Aussie Croquet was played with three wins going to Bob Murray and Veva Mac- Cullagh. Players with two wins were Dorothea Croker, Bruce Field, Lorna Field, Jeff Liebich, Joan Littlejohn, Elizabeth McLean,

Libby Smart and Tony Thomson. Some great results and close games played last Tuesday with John Cole, Dorothea Croker and Harley Stewart taking the hat-trick with three wins each, following close on their heels with two wins each were Bruce Field, Lorna Field, Merv Lang- field, Jeff Liebich, Veva MacCullagh, Bob Murray, Jill Rubie and Lyn Simmonds.

The next birthday lunch will be on Tuesday, 4th July at the Forbes Sports and Rec- reation Club.

The new blue jackets look very smart – many thanks to Colleen for arranging. See Greg at Gunn’s Mensland to order one.

New players always welcome on any Tuesday or Saturday at 8:45am, or phone John Cole on 6857 3346 or Anne Stewart on 6851 5320.
