‘Prof’ Retires from Mallet Making

11 February 2016 by Chris Alvey

Manor House Mallets Move South

One of the world’s finest Mallet makers – Professor Alan Pidcock – has now retired from production.  Alan who is also President of Southport & Birkdale Croquet Club, has achieved world wide fame with his innovative mallets, made in Penwortham.  The distinctive gold and black mallet heads can be seen in abundance at every croquet event.

His company – Manor House Mallets – will continue to produce these excellent mallets under the management of precision engineer Dave Trimmer from Dorset.

Many Federation members are grateful for the advice and expertise given to them by Alan when purchasing their mallets.  The North West Federation send best wishes to Alan on his ‘retirement’.
