Golf croquet was played on Tuesday 8 April with 39 players in attendance. Three games were won by John Browne, Sally Perry, Fay Picker, Elvy Quirk, Vince Rob­erts, Lyn Simmonds and Rex Toole. Whilst two games winners included John Farah, Allan Jones, Noel Jolliffe, Ray Martin, Rob­in Pols, Mal Smith, Lyall Strudwick, Peter West and Kevin Wenning. Congratulations to all of these players.

Robin Pols is our longest serving mem­ber and still plays a great game. Well done.

On Thursday 1 May the Forbes Croquet Club will be hosting a special day of croquet to celebrate World Croquet Day. There will be some fun games on the day, along with prizes and a light lunch will be served in the shade area after play. Everyone is wel­come to come along.
