Cracker Week Of Croquet

April 20, 2017 by Maggi Barnard

It’s been a cracker of a week with some excellent play by all members.

The clean sweep of the day on Tuesday with three games was John H Browne with a big following of players having two wins each. Bruce and Lorna Field, Mary Hodge, Veva MacCullagh, Bob Murray, Kevin Ru- bie, Ken and Marj Styles, Alec and Lorraine Todd, Barry White, Tony Thompson and Carol Slattery.

Easter Saturday turned up eight visitors who came along for the fun. Visiting winners were Lauren, Janet and Gil Candido and Rob Bradley, who won one game each. Alec Walters won two games while James Hunt was magnificent in winning a solo game against a very strong player, and playing two balls at once. Our clean sweeps on the day with three wins were, Kevin Rubie, Bar- ry White and Lorraine Todd.

The club will celebrate World Croquet Day on Saturday, 6th May. The whole commu- nity is invited to have a taste of the game.
