Mondays free
Tuesdays Golf Croquet from 14:00
Wednesdays Association Croquet from 14:00
Thursdays Association Croquet from 14:00
Fridays Golf Croquet from 10:30
Saturdays Association Croquet from 14:00

Members who turn up at the lawns on one of these occasions can usually expect to get a game. At other times it is generally advisable to plan a specific game with another club member in advance. A list of members' contact details is posted inside the club hut.
