Aussie Croquet was played on Saturday 9th November on a lovely, not too warm morning and all who attended enjoyed the game and the social catch up. Once again Catriona Hunt (Robin Pols daughter) came to have a game with us.
On the day, two games won by John Browne, John Cole, Frank Donohoe, Carolyn Neilsen, Fay Picker, Robin Pols, Elvy Quirk, Vince Roberts, Kevin Rubie and Peter West. Well done to those players.
All three games were won by David West and May Jones. David is now showing his style at winning and of course youth is behind him. We hope David can encourage some other younger players to come along as we would like to see some more young people join in.
Our past player Bob Murray is not too well at present, but we hope to see him back soon enjoying a cuppa with us. Cherylin Cole is at present a patient in Orange Hospital and hopefully it will not be too long before we see her up and about again.
Last week our most senior member Bruce Field celebrated his 97th Birthday.
Congratulations to Bruce who still shows his style on the Croquet lawns.
President Elvy laid a wreath on Remembrance Day on behalf of Forbes Croquet Club. The wreath was capably made by John Browne – a special thanks to John.
Our monthly luncheon was held at the Forbes Sportsmans Hotel on Tuesday 12th November where all birthdays for November were celebrated.
Our new summer start time is 9am with arrival by 8.45am to get names in the draw.
Our Christmas celebrations are coming around fast and our special Christmas luncheon and prize giving is being held at the Vandenberg Hotel on 17th December, so please put that date on your calendar.
