Croquet Bling on Australia Day

February 1, 2024 by Whose Who in Croquet

25 eager players turned up for a social game on Friday 26th. Our members Irene and May wished to celebrate the day in a traditional way.

On Saturday 27th January we had 30 players for Aussie Croquet with an in form David West joining us for a game. One of our longer serving members John Cole who hasn’t lost his touch was in form on the day winning all three games.

Other games also recorded and a great day was had by all where cloud cover kept it on the cool side.

On Tuesday 30th January 27 players arrived to play Golf Croquet. A number of players away due to various reasons. It was a warm day.

There were other close games of 7/6 played.

Seniors week Commences on 11th March and we are holding an Open Day at Forbes Croquet Club on Tuesday 12th March where you are welcome to come and have a social game free of charge. Play commences at 8.30 am with arrival to get names in by 8.15 am. Mallets available for use to try the game and a scrumptious morning tea will be served. Croquet is a gentle form of exercise which will improve your flexibility, balance, hand & eye co-ordination and a great social aspect.
