Players socialising between games.

Starting time for the winter season has changed and arrival to play is 9.15 am for a 9.30 start.
Important that you arrive a quarter of an hour earlier than start time to get your name in the draw. Croquet players were saddened in the past week to hear of the passing of Sandy Hepburn who was a much respected member of our Club. We will miss his cheeky smile and the fun times we shared. Last Saturday members wore black armbands and stood in silence in remembrance. Our Sympathy is extended to his family.
Our next monthly luncheon will be held on Tuesday 2nd July. Croquet in Forbes is fast becoming a popular sport and a great form of exercise. Great for hand and eye coordination.
