Pendle & Craven Croquet Club
Easter Tournaments 2021

Due to Covid restrictions on Hotels & Guest Houses not being allowed to open, our popular 4 day Easter tournament has been again cancelled.

In its place it is proposed to offer – TWO distinct ONE-DAY events:

Golf Croquet Competition – Saturday 3^rd April
Propose a mix of Level & Handicap play, depending upon Entries.

AC Croquet Competition – Sunday 4^th April
Propose a mix of Level & Handicap play, depending upon Entries.

Covid guidelines state that ‘organised’ sporting events can be legally held from 29^th March but obviously, you will need to consider your commute to Pendle Club to attend these events, for example you might prefer not to car share, and the ‘Boris’ timetable might hiccup.

The Village Buttie Shop will be Open on the Saturday, so lunches can be sourced there, but Sunday will be ‘Bring your Own’ – sorry, Covid prohibits us catering, however drinks will be available on the terrace over both days.

Last year Pendle hosted Five Covid Safe Tournaments and the lessons learnt from them will be utilized for these; ‘owned’ Personal chairs, Extra Spaced cover, antibacterial equipment wipes, external brew stuff etc…

So if you fancy hitting balls about in competition as a season starter then please notify Liz Wilson (Liz@palnet.co.uk)  to enter either (or both). 

Costs:
Tournament entry fee – per player – £10.00/day (members £8)
Bottomless tea/coffee/squash during day – £3.00/day 

Please, in the first instance, register your place so level of interest can be assessed. 

Pendle ‘B’ Level Golf Croquet Tournament – Saturday 19th May

Pendle B/C Level Play AC Tournament – 12/13 May 2018

Clive Goode won the B level and Garry Wilson won the C level.  With twelve entrants, the format was an Egyptian competition for the overall winner, but within it, an all-play-all for the three C level competitors trying to win the inaugural C level trophy. 

After the first day, the two B level favourites Derek Watts (1) from Tyneside and Clive Goode (1) from Nottingham were lagging behind Dennis Scarr (1.5) from Middlesborough, who had won all three of his games. His overnight lead was sustained with the first of his two Sunday games.  He had now won four games yet needed to play a fifth. The only player in possible contention was Clive Goode who could overtake Dennis, should he win.  The final game would provide the tournament winner and with a reversal of fortunes, Clive beat Dennis +16 to take the B level title by one point.
