Morning tea is the social time at Forbes Croquet Club.
On Saturday 11 October Aussie Croquet was played with an attendance of 33 players. It was a very warm morning and all enjoyed the game. On Saturday we also welcomed Howard Hawke who enjoyed his first game of croquet. There were close scores of 14/13 when Geoff Coles and Harley Stewart trailed Kevin Rubie and Frank Donohoe, likewise John Browne and May Jones were behind to Tony Bernardi and John Farah. Congratulations to all the winners on the day.
Golf Croquet was played on Tuesday 14 October with only a small number in attendance. Some close scores were recorded on the day in addition to a runaway score. Recorded was a massive win for Peter West playing solo when he defeated Ray Martin and David Nock. On the day all three games were won by Bill Scott, Allan Jones, Sue Jolliffe, Rex Toole, Geoff Coles, Ray Burridge, Graham Falconer, Peter West and Kevin Rubie.
It was good to see David West come and enjoy a game of Golf Croquet as he normally is only able to play on Saturdays.
Croquet must have taken precedence over work commitments. Congratulations to all of our winners on the day.
Just a reminder, the Forbes Croquet Club General meeting will be held on Tuesday 21 October after play in the shade area. Members be sure to attend so that you have a say in who is looking after your Club for the next year. All positions are declared vacant.
The upcoming Christmas and holiday arrangements have been discussed by the Committee at a recent meeting and the dates and places are displayed for viewing on the notice board at the Club.
