The Club will once again participate in Seniors Week this year. The likely date will be Thursday, 17th October and this is a great opportunity for senior members of our community to come along to the Club and have a go at Croquet and learn the fundamentals of the game. There will be several members available to assist with the basics of the game and to show you around our facilities.

IN APPRECIATION TO PAM HAMILTON
A practice lawn has been a work in progress at the Club for many months and was recently declared fit for play. In honour of her long and outstanding service to the Club and the sport generally and a Life Member of the Club, it was decided to name the lawn The Pam Hamilton Practice Lawn. It was officially opened on the 20th May, following the Annual General Meeting.
