Association Croquet
Towards the end of July the usual team of five players from Watford
(Cassiobury) Croquet Club headed for the South West in what
has become a regular annual event since 2003, playing friendly
matches against five clubs in the region on consecutive days. As
in 2007, they used as their local base the
Bowl Inn at
Almondsbury, near Bristol.
Tour organiser: Mark Homan.
