THE SPINOFFS CONTINUED
With all this in mind, perhaps out of frustration, because I am a biology professor at the University of the West of England (UWE), and amazingly fortunate to have an excellent editor at CRC Press, I have co-authored a book on the topic of the interaction of animals with sports facilities: ISBN 9781032986227 (https://www.routledge.com/Animal- Behaviour-Welfare-and-Interactions-in-Sports-and- Recreational-Environments/Hancock-Rouse-Pawson/p/book/ 9781032986227). In the book we discuss such issues from around the world, and some of the things we can do about animal management whilst upholding welfare standards in our activities. Certainly, being Lawn Manager at NDCC has kept me busy, but I also have other roles at the club too, such as media liaison. If anyone wishes to see some of NDCC’s activities go to https://www.northsomersettimes.co.uk/topics/croquet/ where our local newspaper has collated some of our articles. Oh, and occasionally I get to play croquet – although not well!
