Birthday girls Helen Lupis and Jill Rubie.
On Saturday, 1 February Aussie Croquet was played with 30 in attendance. It was a reasonably warm morning but not nearly as hot as last Tuesday when the temperature soared and exceeded 40. Some good scores were once again recorded.
We have a new player on Saturdays with Sally Perry taking up the challenge and getting to know the ropes of the game.
On Saturday, 1 February all three games were won by John Allegri, May Jones and David West. Congratulations to those players. David West is now a regular player on Saturdays and is fast becoming a master at the game. Of course he has youth on his side.
Our monthly luncheon was held on Tuesday, 4 February at the Post Office Hotel with many celebrating their birthdays, namely Jill Rubie, Helen Lupis, Pam Thomson, Sue Waden and Kevin Wenning. Best wishes were extended to all those members.
Golf Croquet was played on Tuesday, 4 February with 35 players in attendance. It was a very warm morning and John Farah came to the rescue for many players who didn’t bring their water. John came with an esky with many bottles of water. Many thanks John.
All three games were won by Kevin Rubie, Bill Scott, Peter West and Wayne Wright. Wayne is a relatively new player and is now joining the ranks of the winners.
Well done Wayne.
Dominic Williams joined us for a game as he was in town for the launching of a book he has recently written. Best wishes on the launch of your book Dom. Croquet is played Tuesday and Saturday each week.
