Club Internal Competition Winners for 2011

These trophies were engraved by the club and presented by the chairman Roger Hayes at the clubs’ Annual Dinner and Prize Giving on Friday 14 October at The Combe Grove Manor Hotel in Bath. 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.
