We want to support new initiatives to welcome new members, especially those that that will attract people from diverse groups within your community to join your club. Whatever you plan, the prize money must be spent on an initiative to make your club more welcoming.

Winners must provide an article with photographs for The Croquet Gazette or e- newsletter on completion of their project setting out what they have achieved and learned.

The deadline for applications is May 31st, 2022 and since the purpose of this scheme is to encourage new initiatives, prizes will not be awarded for any expenditure or commitments made before 2022 (even though we know some clubs have already done great things).

Applications will be judged on merit and in competition with other applications.
