As an experiment Pendle and Craven Croquet Club introduced a “C” Advantage GC competition into their Tournament programme.
Pendle and Craven CC welcomed Simon A from Bury Croquet Club and Brenda K from Crake Valley Croquet Club, along with four club members.
The day was very cool and despite periods of sunshine the temperature only reached 10deg.
Players gathered by 8.45am and after a managers briefing, time was allowed for a warm up on the lawns.
In an all-play-all , no time limits , and using the Advantage 2024/25 framework, play got underway. Despite the initial fear of long games the players played expeditiously. No game went past 45 mins.
At lunch everyone gathered in the clubhouse to warm up. Chatter centered on croquet and forthcoming competitions for C class players.
The afternoon went without any problems and the clear winner was Sharon D with 4 wins out of 5 games.
Sharon was presented with her trophy by Libby D ( Tournament Manager). Competitors all reported they enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the competition.
