Croquet Notes

August 10, 2017 by Maggi Barnard

Last week, the Croquet players turned up in force, unperturbed by the pea-soup fog that didn’t clear until late morning. The players held their monthly Birthday luncheon with a lovely gathering of members and their partners at The Forbes Sport and Rec Club. The boys prepared some delicious meals for everyone.

The Birthday Boy this month was Jeff Liebich, who had the cutting of the cake to himself as the other birthday members were unable to attend. In Tuesday’s Golf Croquet, hat-tricks went to John H Browne, Bruce Field, Robin Pols and Alec Todd while closely followed with
two wins each to Dorothea Croker, Merv Langfield, Veva MacCullagh, Evelyn Mahlo, Bob Murray, Bill Scott, Harley Stewart, Marj
Styles and Barry White.

Aussie Saturday results from 5 August included three wins each to Veva MacCullagh, Robin Pols and Libby Smart, while two wins went to Cherylin Cole, John Cole, Dorothea Croker, Merv Langfield, Colleen Liebich, Bob Murray, Kevin Rubie, Jill Rubie, Bill Scott, and Harley Stewart. Well played everyone!
