With the evenings getting lighter and the weather warming it can only mean one thing, the new croquet season will soon be starting. The club has opened up its membership to new members this season. If you are looking for something new to try that will get you outdoors in the fresh air and exercise the body and the brain! why not give the game a try. Whether your a seasoned player of a complete beginner all are welcome. We play a form of Croquet called Golf Croquet, which is a fast paced and sociable game, where you’ll soon make friends and can pick up the basics in just 10 minutes, and with time you will learn all about the tactics. You can play just for fun or compete against other clubs in a league or friendly games, the choice is yours. It can be played by people of all ages and genders on an equal basis, with differing levels of fitness and skill (thanks to a handicap system), you can play singles or in pairs.
From April to September we play hosted roll-ups four times per week when anyone can play. We draw cards to see who plays with whom and you are guaranteed a game. We play on Mondays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m., Wednesdays at 2 p.m. (followed by tea and cake in the Pavilion) and Fridays at 10 a.m.
The lawns are also available at most other times during the week for individually arranged games, with some weekend play unless there is a cricket match. We also have an extensive social programme throughout the season, with fun competitions followed by dinner at the pub. In the winter months, when croquet cannot be played, we offer bridge, Mahjong and other games, chess, walks, coffee mornings and pub lunches. Have a look at our website for more information www.westchiltingtoncroquet.com or email [email protected] to arrange a taster session and give the game a try. No equipment is needed until you are ready to buy your own mallet.
West Chiltington Croquet Club, plays Golf Croquet for communities in Storrington, Pulborough, Sullington, Washington, Ashington, Steyning etc in West Sussex.
