To provide an opportunity to play a relaxed, informal, social game of Croquet.
To introduce those who have never played Croquet to the game.
Where and when: Fiskerton-cum-Morton, at the Arthur Radford Sports Ground, Cooks Lane, NG25 0XQ We have use of three croquet lawns normally played on by the Southwell Croquet Club, a well-equipped and friendly club that are able to host small groups of external players such as ourselves.
We meet on the 2nd Monday of the month, from 2pm to 4pm, summer only. Arrival from 1.45 to start playing at 2.00 2023 Dates: Mondays: 12 June, 10 July, 14 August, 11 Sept, (and weather permitting 9 Oct)
How the group works: The group provides an opportunity to learn and play Croquet. The aim is to have fun playing the game, it is not all about winning! Equipment is provided within the charge of £8 per session, payable each session.
As a newly formed group (May 2023) we already have a waiting list, as only 12 of us can play at a time. However, we think that some will want to join the regular Croquet club at the ground, making room for folk on the waiting list so please contact us and ask to be added to the waiting list. We are keen to make use of all our available 12 player spaces, and assure you of a warm welcome when your turn comes! Brind your own mug for refreshments. Flat soled shoes must be worn - no heels of any sort allowed.
Information about the group can be obtained from the group leader, Elaine Maiden My contact details are on the Group Leaders page. Non-u3a members, please read below.
