As a repeat of last year's popular event, on Saturday 22nd May the club staged a Gymkhana.
The competition took the form of a series of 10 short challenges of various types, most with
6 attempts, and all of which involved the use of croquet mallets and balls. The resemblance to the game
of croquet stopped there!
Gymkhana by year:
By good fortune the weather had finally decided that it was about time
to behave like summer, which was a big bonus.
The challenges were the seven illustrated below, plus
'Peg out': hit the peg from 7 yards.
'Turn left': run hoop 3 from the east boundary in 2 shots.
The finale: starting from the south boundary, use as few shots as possible to run hoops
1, 2, 3, penult, and then peg out.
