A SPORTING EXPERIENCE FOR SOUTHWELL U3A
By Elaine Maiden, Southwell Croquet Club On a glorious afternoon , interested members from Southwell u3a who had signed up for a new sporting experience all turned up. With our Croquet England coach, Derek Blow, a small group had a one hour taster- session on one of the half lawns. I took another group of eight newbies through a taster session on lawn 2 . Then, on lawn 3 , there were a few who had played before so both primary and secondary balls were used to play a 7 point game of Golf Croquet. Refreshments half way through the afternoon gave time for socialising. Then , by rearranging individuals , new games were played on all three lawns and the challenge of competing
against each other really took off! The good news is that some of these players, who had played before at university , have rediscovered their love of
croquet . They are now looking to play regularly , as well as playing on the monthly U3A croquet afternoons. They want to play both Association Croquet and also Golf Croquet.
contact me and have their names put onto the waiting list. What a superb afternoon…….and a great bunch of keen players.
There were so many people today that every club mallet was in use. It is now necessary to close the group. Anyone else interested , must therefore
