Allocation of Lawns for Play

As agreed at the AGM on 25/2/25 there will be a trial this season to allow members to play croquet in both fixed and random groups. Lawns will be used in the following ways, depending on the day of the week.

1. Tuesday and Thursday

a. These will be club days where anyone can arrive on the day and groups to play will be selected at random using playing cards.

b. There will be no change in the number of lawns, with four lawns on Tuesdays and two on Thursdays.

2. Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

a. On one of the above days in each week one lawn can be used for groups of up to eight people who wish to play together in fixed groups (lawn 1).

b. The group must book the day they want to play on the club Whatsapp and confirm who will be playing. If more than one group wish to play in the same week the first to place their booking will play.

c. One nominated person must confirm the booking on Whatsapp on behalf of the whole group. Bookings must be made after midnight on Saturday for the following week.

d. The second lawn (lawn 2) will be available for anyone who arrives on the day, players can be selected at random with playing cards or in any way the group prefers provided everyone agrees.

e. If either lawn has 5 or more people the additional game will double bank using secondary balls, alternating play between the 1st and 2nd lawn. If both lawns have 5 or more people they do not need to alternate.

f. On the day of play as usual enter in the diary the names of those playing but in addition enter the lawn number each person played on (1 or 2).
