Come-and-Try
For those who are new to croquet the usual first step is to arrange for a Come-and-Try session. You will be introduced to the sport and have a chance to see how you like it. These are arranged for the first Friday of each month. Your first time is free, and you can come a few more times on payment of the $10 lawn fee.
If you want to Come-and-Try, please email the Club Secretary at sandybaycroquetclub@gmail.com, or use our Online Contact form, at least several days in advance so that we can arrange for an experienced club member to give you guidance on how to play. We will supply all the necessary equipment: you will just need to wear enclosed flat soled shoes (such as trainers).
Taste of Croquet package
Following your Come-and-Try session(s), if you wish to continue your trial period, we can offer you a Taste of Croquet package - for a maximum of six sessions over a one month period with the payment of $30. This will entitle you to attend the club during social play sessions. Both informal and formal coaching can be offered within this period (and can continue if you join). You can apply for a Taste of Croquet package here.
At any time during your Taste of Croquet period, you may decide to join our Club. Simply fill out the New Member Application Form, asking two members to support your application. The SBCC Committee will be informed of your application and will consider it within a few days. During this waiting time, you may continue to attend social play.
Membership
Once your membership has been approved by the Committee, you will need to pay, pro rata, for the remainder of our August to August membership year. The annual membership fee is $400 per annum - plus ACA and TCA levies - an additional $75. Members are not charged Lawn Fees.
Experienced croquet players coming from another club can apply to become full members directly, by filling in the New Member Application Form.
Once you are a member, you can access the Club at any time (the Club will supply you with your own key).
