Talking Croquet Issue 007 - May 2026

THE LAWNS MANAGER CONTINUED

using our own variation of the “towed ladder” (as seen on the Letchworth video). Amazing what can be done with a few wheelbarrows, a ladder with manual tow ropes, and shovels on the hottest day of the year so far. This has gone very well, and as I write this we eagerly await trying the lawn when it is opened at the start of the season. If it has been a success then a repeat on another lawn in the autumn will be on the cards. I would like to thank the large number of hard-working “Lawn Managers” and other volunteers at the various clubs who have helped me with advice, and I hope all our lawns improve with the hard work we do. And finally, a massive thank you to the Enfield Club members who turn up and help, all for the price of a cup of tea and a biscuit and the love of our great sport. Oh, and following my quest for the perfect lawn… we can all dream! Colin Still Enfield CC Lawns Manager!
