North West Federation of Croquet Clubs - for everything Croquet in the north west
Congratulation to David Cornes of Crake Valley Croquet Club who has achieved the first Croquet Association Silver Merit Award for Golf Croquet in the North West. This award has only been introduced this year and he will be presented with the award at Cheltenham this weekend where he is competing in the Ascot Cup.
Golf Croquet to Association Croquet Made Easy
A new coaching video has just been produced by Chris Alvey of Bury Croquet Club. Chris is also an Executive Board member of the Croquet Association with responsibility for Croquet Performance and Selection.
The shots & techniques demonstrated utilising GC skills are used to put together a break, whilst there are other shots that can be used but these are the basis of association croquet and you can win a game using these three basic shots alone.
The video can be seen by using the link below and will soon be available on the CA You Tube channel.
Well done Chris & Anne – an excellent and professional production!

The CA’s Covid-19 guidance for clubs and players has been updated from 17th May to reflect the relaxation of restrictions for Step 3 of the government’s roadmap. A risk assessment has been provided to underpin it, which clubs are invited to adapt for their own use. The practical changes from the version published on 7th April are that occupancy limits for courts are removed; use of clubhouses is permitted, but with a gathering limit of six (or two households if greater) and use of face coverings; and car sharing is now permitted. The guidance for tournaments has also been updated.
