Croquet Plans for 2018

26 November 2017 by Ivan Wheatley

2018 Season now being planned

Just as one season finished preparations for the next start. Forms for registering teams for the Federation Leagues for 2018 have now been issued. All clubs wishing to enter one or more teams in any of the Federation 2018 leagues are asked to complete a registration form with all the requested information and return it to the League Manager no later than 31st December this year. Draft league fixtures will then be produced and issued no later than the end of January leaving a month for team captains to negotiate any changes before publication of the final fixture lists at the end of February. The 2018 season will run from Tuesday 3rd April with all games to be completed no later than Sunday the 30th September.

There are no significant changes to the league rules planned for 2018 although at the Federation AGM in November it was agreed that the current arrangements for catering at league matches will change with all players, both home and visitors, making their own arrangements for lunch with the home team providing hot drinks as appropriate.

Additional copies of the registration form and the draft 2018 league rules can be downloaded here:

Forget the Fishes at Chester Croquet Club

23 November 2017 by John Dawson

Still Playing at Chester

The talk at most croquet clubs is of angled hoop running and triple peels but at Chester in the autumn a croquet player’s fancy lightly turns turns to thoughts of loaves. After a couple of quick games of golf croquet to work up an appetite it’s straight into the clubhouse where the merits of rye and sunflower seeds or sour dough toast are hotly contested. Aided by a major investment in a toaster and sunny weather the croquet season has been extended to the end of November. This simple incentive has kept the members playing for longer than usual. ” I don’t know which I enjoy most” said one player ” running a hoop from twenty yards or Frank’s home-made marmalade on hot sour dough toast” ( They get better with the telling!)
