Croquet Report

In May, the Novice Star Singles GC Competition was played. This competition is open to only those players who have been playing croquet for two years or less. There were 13 eligible players with seven of these being available to play. Every player played against every other player with the final winner being Wendy Price who won all six of her games, and the Runner up was Margaret Windle winning four of her six games. Congratulations to Wendy, Margaret and all other entrants, who helped to make the event one of the most enjoyable days of friendly competition. Also, thank you to Jan and Terry Craddock and Sandy Boon who all helped enormously with setting up, providing eats, and clearing away. These contributions all made for a most successful event.

Jan and Terry Craddock, Jenny Wilmot, Cheryl Saul and Di McGivern were all entered to play in the WA “B” and “C” Grade Competitions held at Nedlands Croquet Club on Monday 23 and Tuesday 24 May; with Di also being the nominated referee for day on Monday. Sadly, Jenny tested positive for Covid virus on the Sunday and had to withdraw. Di, being a close contact, went into isolation pending her test result for the virus.

Di was appointed as Referee for the GC Croquet Competition of "The Masters’ Games" which were held in Perth from 26 to 29 April. Robyn Dart from Busselton was the Women’s Champion; with David Williams from Cambridge Club being the Men’s Champion.

Members

We have been delighted to have seen a number of long time members back at the Club after time away due to personal circumstances. We wish all those members who are currently unable to attend, a speedy recovery back to full health, and look forward to welcoming them back onto the Courts.
