HOST CLUB SPOTLIGHT NOTTINGHAM CROQUET CLUB
Location The club is about two miles west of the city centre, just outside the ring road. For navigation purposes, our address is Nottingham Croquet Club, University Boulevard, Nottingham NG7 2PS (but please address any post to individual officers, as deliveries are unreliable). If using Google Maps or satnav, be aware that NG7 2PS is a sprawling postcode area; try to navigate to the club itself, not the postcode. We are about half-way along University Boulevard, on the right hand side of the road, heading away from the city and ring road. There is a lay-by (with bollards to prevent casual parking) with a bust of Lord Trent (Jesse Boot, of Boots the Chemists) outside. From the lay-by, walk through the large formal iron gates and then through either of the smaller iron gates immediately on your right or left. Please take care when using the pelican crossing to cross the dual carriageway; motorists do not always behave legally or predictably.
We have been playing in the elegant surroundings of Highfields Park since 1929, with a vista to the University of Nottingham's magnificent Trent Building (Morley Horder, 1928) as depicted on our club logo (see opposite). Catering and Bar: The Nottingham Croquet Club has a long-established tradition of providing good quality home cooked lunches with kitchen facilities in the club house and a team of volunteers who cater throughout the season. Lunches and teas will be provided for players and officials at their own expense at £16 per cover per day. Lunches to be available from 12 noon to 2pm, tea from 4pm. A pay-as-you-go bar will be available on playing days. Social Events: It is expected that a social event will be arranged for the players one evening during the event.
