2012 Charity Open Day and Introduction to Croquet

On Bank Holiday Monday 7 May the club are holding a charity Open Day in conjunction with Dorothy House on Bath Recreation Ground between 10am and 5pm. People of all ages are encouraged to have a go at croquet and get a feel for the game. There is no dress code (apart from flat soled shoes) and all equipment and coaching will be provided. A small donation to Dorothy House will be encouraged and Dorothy House will also be running a cake sale.

For those who enjoy the Open Day, and others wishing to take up croquet, the club will again be running our popular Introduction to Croquet Course starting on Saturday 19 May 2012 and running until 16 June. 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. 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.
2011 Winter update

The clubs' Annual Dinner and Prize Giving took place on Friday 14 October at The Combe Grove Manor Hotel in Bath. Club Chairman Roger Hayes gave a poignant speech about Nick King, a promising young croquet player who died tragically in an accident whilst riding his motorbike in 2009. The new Nick King Trophy was then presented for the first time to rapidly improving Association Croquet player Ian Morrison to much applause.

The clubs' 2011 AGM took place on Friday 18 November at St Mary's Church Hall in Bath. Roger Hayes provided details of the many achievements of individual club members and teams during the 2011 playing season. Nigel Amos retired from the Committee and was thanked for all his hard work in maintaining the lawns over a number of years. There was also much discussion about the clubs' future development.
