Another white frost to start the day but half way through the second game the jackets were coming off. . Today we welcomed a player travelling through Jim Nichols from Wagga Wagga. He arrived late and could only play one game but that was enough to see that he was a seasoned player. Jim has a long and varied history as a player and teacher of several variations of croquet and was a fount of information. Jim partnered Jill Rubie. They defeated Neville Spry and Cherylin Cole 14-13. There were only two players who won their three matches Mr Consistent Barry White and Lyn Simmonds.
