25th October

We have just completed the last croquet session on the main lawns on Friday morning, followed by fish and chips at The Welfare. A few of our regulars were on holiday this month, but we still had six players who showed off their developing skills.

The group does not normally play after the clocks go back to GMT, but there is a possibility that we can persuade the croquet club to let us use the 'winter lawns' from November. Watch this space!
