The Croquet Group

Leader:  Rupert Knapton - croquet@ashbyu3a.co.uk -

The Croquet Group meets in the summer time on the last Friday of the month at 10 am at Ashby Croquet Club which is at Moira Miners' Welfare Club, Bath Lane, Moira DE12 6BP (opposite Conkers Waterside entrance). Free car parking on site. No experience is needed to join in. Non-heeled shoes should be worn. Trainers are ideal. There is a charge of £5pp for use of the lawns.

If you wish to attend, please contact Rupert Knapton at croquet@ashbyu3a.co.uk so that he can set up the right number of lawns and equipment.

28th March

For our first meeting on the 'summer lawns' we had all three lawns in operation with 12 players. We also had the bonus of a visit from Mike O’Brian, an Ashby Croquet Club member. This meant that we could include an experienced player on each lawn to advise on the rules as well as play the game. With the added bonus of sunshine a very enjoyable morning was had by all.

There will be no meeting in April, so the next session will be on Friday 30th May.
