• 2012 Introduction to Croquet and Open Day

  Bath Croquet Club will again be running their popular Introduction to Croquet Course starting on Saturday 19 May 2012 and running until 16 June. Additionally on Bank Holiday Monday 7 May the club will be holding an Open Day on Bath Recreation Ground which will allow people of all ages to have a go at croquet and get a feel for the game. Flat soled shoes must be worn but all equipment will be provided. A small donation to charity will be encouraged.

  
  

  The 5 lesson introduction course teaches the basics of the game in a fun and friendly atmosphere and takes place on 5 consecutive Saturday mornings from 19 May. A course fee of £30 is charged but this is taken off the full membership fee on joining the club permanently. For further information or to sign up for the course please email Daniel Mills on croquetdan*hotmail.com (replace * with @). Alternatively you can sign up for the course by ringing 01225 837615.

  
  

  If you have played the game before please email your details (such as former clubs, handicap, tournament experience etc) to croquetdan*hotmail.com and we will see what can be arranged.
