Cusworth Walled Garden Open Day

We are grateful to Cusworth Hall and Park for our invitation to attend a Sunday open day. The walled garden dates back to the early days of the old Cusworth Manor House and has recently undergone extensive refurbishment.

A croquet lawn was set up for the day, and visitors were able to join the games in beautiful sunshine. We hope they enjoyed the experience.

Our Man in Mauritius

We are proud to announce that in 2025 we have a new foreign correspondent for the club. John Atack has taken part in the Sugar Beach International Croquet Cup 2025. This takes place in a spectacular sub-tropical location on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. John competed with elite players from around the world, and attended a master-class with Jenny Clarke, who is the holder of multiple world championship titles.

This is just the start of John's international croquet journey, and he will be competing in Corfu, and the Scottish Open Championships in Edinburgh.

We wish John well and hope he will share some of his new tips and techniques.

The 2025 Season Begins

Congratulations to Pam, John and Robert on their win at the first Yorkshire Federation match at Sheffield Parkhead, and also an impressive win at Sheffield U3A. The season has also started well with friendly games at Bishop Monkton and Southwell, with great weather conditions adding to the occasions.

The Sheila Lines singles cup competition was played on Tuesday August 27th. Sixteen club members took part. They were randomly selected into two teams and each player played six games. Handicaps were used. Congratulations to Pam Smith who won all of her games and was awarded the cup at the end of a very enjoyable day. The weather played its part and we were treated to lovely cakes provided by Sue, Janet and Pam and a refreshing cup of tea by Sheila and Tom before heading for home. Many thanks to all who helped with setting out the lawns and clearing up at the end.. Julie: Chairperson.
