Beginners

We welcome beginners at any stage of the season and suggest that enquirers  turn up at a suitable club sessions after speaking to, or emailing us.

We teach complete beginners and rusty garden croquet players to play Golf Croquet which is the more sociable of the two games and quicker to pick up. Most people can play effectively against other beginners after half an hour and thereafter can extend their skills and enjoyment week by week.

We are happy to instruct at the individual level though sometimes if a group of beginners start together it can be more fruitful to run a group course – we have an organised structure for that if required.

Some enquirers have played Association croquet before in which case they will be able to join in on any of the Club session. We also provide coaching for Association Croquet, depending on how readily the skills are recalled.

As a first step we suggest you contact  Mark Ormerod.

Subscriptions

Few new players arrive at the start of the season and we recognise this with a tapered scale of fees depending on the month of joining. The second and third years are also tapered as members become used to playing and the full rate is payable from the fourth year.

Out of Season

You do not have to wait for fine weather. We keep one lawn open throughout the winter and generally play on Sunday mornings, adjourning to the bar afterwards. You can at least come and meet us in preparation for a full season.
