A big thank you to everyone who came along to our working bee this morning. It was fantastic to see such a great turnout, and the effort put in by all involved really shows in how well our club is looking.

Your time and hard work make a real difference, and it’s what keeps our club such a great place to play and socialise.

And of course, a special mention for the delicious morning tea!

We're usually treated to some incredible skies over our courts on Wednesday evenings.

Croquet, good company, and views like this… not a bad way to spend a midweek evening.

Fantastic to see some of our Golf Croquet players stepping onto the lawn to learn the intricacies of Association Croquet. Association Croquet brings a whole new level of strategy, precision, and tactical play and our players are embracing it with great spirit. A big thank you to everyone who has been supporting, coaching, and encouraging along the way.

Sunshine, birds singing, and freshly painted lines, the best way to start Sunday morning with a game or 2 of croquet.
