Close Games All Round At Croquet

May 14, 2021 by Maggi Barnard

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Croquet birthdays were celebrated by John Browne, Elvy Quirk, Carmel Murray and John Cole. Absent Lorna Field

On Tuesday, 4th May there were no games played due to wet lawns however we held our monthly luncheon at the Vandenberg Hotel. Cake on the day was provided by Penny Taylor for a few people celebrating birthdays.

On Saturday, 8th May for Aussie Croquet there were 25 players. Close games on the day were Harley Stewart and Jill Rubie 14 def Kevin Rubie and Bob Murray 13, Ray Burridge 14 def Barry White 13, Merv Lang-field and Doreen Rogers 14 def Cherylin Cole and Bob Murray 13, Harley Stewart and Bob Murray 14 def Cherylin and John Cole 13.

The winners of all three games were John Browne, Ray Burridge, Merv Langfield and Harley Stewart. Congratulations to those winners.

It was a very warm morning and some members took advantage of the shade area to partake in morning tea.

We are so pleased with our shade area which has been financed by our very own Croquet Club and the area is almost complete with three tables recently purchased by the Croquet Club from Felton Industries at Condobolin. We now have a small storage shed to complete and blinds for the area.

Our very valued member Joan Littlejohn is at present nursing a broken bone in her foot. We wish Joan a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you back on the croquet lawns very soon.

A reminder to all our members that we will be holding a General Meeting after play on May 18. Members your attendance is important.
