John Browne deep in concentration.
Aussie Croquet was played on Saturday 2nd November on a warm morning. All three games were won by just one player, May Jones whilst two games were won by Russell Anderson, Bruce Field, John Job, Noel Jolliffe, Fay Picker, Elvy Quirk, Vince Roberts, Rex Toole and David West.
Aussie Croquet is fast becoming popular as it is much more challenging than Golf Croquet.
Golf Croquet was played on 5th November and it was a very warm morning, even though we got off to an earlier start at 9am.
Melbourne Cup sweeps were the order of the day with many taking part.
All three games were won by John Browne, Ray Burridge and Rex Toole. John Browne is yet again showing form after his recent back surgery.
Starting time for the summer season is now 9am with arrival at 8.45am to get your names into the draw. The bi-monthly luncheon is to be held at the Forbes Sportsman Hotel (Golf Club) next Tuesday, 12th November with arrival at 12pm for 12.30pm serving.
The Christmas season is just around the corner with arrangements already made at the Croquet Club, but will be published later when closer to the time.
Playing Croquet is a gentle form of exercise, helps with hand and eye co-ordination and a very social aspect. Should you wish to try the game come down to Halpins Flat at 8.45am on a Tuesday and you will be teamed up with an experienced player to get to know the ropes. Flat soled shoes are needed. Mallets are available to use.
