The big winners on the day were 14—9 Joan Littlejohn and John Browne, Cheryle Toohey and May Jones. The mid winners were 14—10 John Farah and Sandy Hepburn, Elvy Quirk and John Cole, Rex Toole and Tony Thomson, Elvy Quirk and May Jones, Kevin and Terry Rubie, Jill Rubie and Fay Picker, Noel Jolliffe, John Cole and Colleen Liebich.

Golf Croquet on Tuesday 26th saw a record number of 41 players attend. We welcome new player, David Williams and our two visitors from Yamba Malcolm and Rosemary Every. Colleen Gunn from the Vanderurg Hotel, who sponsors us, was there to present a new sign to be displayed in the club house. Thank you to Kevin and Colleen for their generous support.

There was only two players who managed to win three games, Geoff Coles and Allan Jones. The big winners on the day were 11—2 Robin Pols and Phillip Moran, Elvy Quirk and Bruce Field. 10—3 Robin Pols an Lorraine Todd, Marie Spry and John Browne.

Forbes Croqut Club have six playing courts at Halpins Flat. We play Golf Croquet every Tuesday, you are asked to arrive no later than 8:50am for the draw. Aussie Croquet Saturday does have more tactical play, but it is not difficult to learn. The cost to learn is $2.00 for six games, then you might like to become a member which costs only $10 p.a. and $5 per day. 

That’s it till next week!
