It is 40 years since Pendle and Craven Croquet Club was founded by John Beech in his garden, and the club has moved from strength to strength since then. Now playing on 5 lawns in Cemetery Road in Earby, Lancashire, the club is now becoming a firm member of the local community. The Easter weekend involves the club in the first big tournament of the season. The John Beech Memorial Tournament which takes place from lunchtime Good Friday until late afternoon on Easter Monday, where players come from all over the country to play at Pendle and Craven croquet Club. This year the tournament was full, and, with the help of a couple of days excellent weather it was a great success, the lawns were in great condition and were running fine plus the hospitality was excellent, players reported they had really enjoyed themselves. The atmosphere was very friendly and spectators were most welcome, and did, come and watch.
