Maleny Croquet still going strong!

How many of the faces do you know?

Croquet came to Maleny when a few people got together in the late 1980’s and started to play croquet on the lawn at the house of one of them on Mountain View Road. In 1991 they formed the Croquet Club with Ted Singleton as the president.

The club members have entered and been successful in Sunshine Coast pennant competitions, Queensland wide completions and the club has organised and

hosted numerous tournaments. In 2005, the club, in association with other Sunshine Coast clubs, hosted the Australian championship.

The Range Croquet Club - Maleny Not much play on our lawns this week, giving the grass a chance to grow following good falls of rain.

Stuart Craig arrived on Tuesday to play ricochet but was thwarted by a variety of circumstances which kept others away – weather, commitments in Brisbane, and so on. Nevertheless, the ricochet culture on Tuesday remains strong.

Truncated games were the order of the day on Thursday. Vince Carbery and Ken Barker played a wild and woolly game which would only end badly for the player who ran out of luck. Fortunately, it never came to that. The game was abandoned at tea with rain threatening. Donna Manning and Dianne Horsman played a seriously instructive game on the same lawn, and, after tea, they left as well.

No scores were recorded, though with the way Vince and Ken were playing, one of them was sure to peg out so a notional score of 26 – 2 should be recorded for Vince. Dianne and Donna’s probable with bisques is 13 all.

On Sunday the skies cleared. Dianne, fresh from a training game with Kathleen Colclough at Buderim teamed up with Stuart to play rising star David Kerr and Donna. An intensely strategic game ensued with Donna showing, in the attached photo below, why she is in the state team with a play which promised regaining control in what had appeared a dif cult position. Pink and White have been sent to the safety of the North boundary. Green and

Brown are for hoop 1. Stuart plays Brown but everything is dif cult from then. Donna and David won 13 – 9 in a memorably correct encounter .

Our web address is: https://rangecroquetatmaleny.org.au For details contact Sarah Widin 0417640704 (President ) or by email: therange@croquetqld.org
