North West Federation of Croquet Clubs - for everything Croquet in the north west
Despite the wettest month on record, Clubs at the Spring Meeting were positive about the 2020 season. Some very welcome news were the various sources of funding available to Clubs ands fairly easy to apply. There were discussions about the new Laws of Croquet, the national Short Croquet competition and our own Federation Leagues and events.

The provisional list of fixtures for the 2020 federation croquet leagues has now been circulated to all clubs that have entered. Team captains have until 7th March to discuss with their opposite number any changes they may wish to make – the final fixture list will be issued after the federation Spring meeting.
For 2020 we again have 49 teams, he same number as in 2019. This year however we have Llanfairfechan making a welcome return to the Short Lawn league and Westmorland joining the Level Play GC league for the first time. Unfortunately, Southport and Culcheth have both decided not to enter the level play GC league this season.
The season gets underway on Sunday 19th April and will run through until Sunday the 11th October. Trophies will be awarded to winning teams at the Federation Annual General meeting on the 14th November.
