The club is fortunate to have among its membership a number of qualified coaches. Coaching of club members by club members is free of charge.
Introductory Sessions begin on 2 April 2008:
These introductory sessions are organised so that you can try croquet with minimal expenditure. The 90 minute lessons start at 2.30pm and 6pm and the first of six weekly lessons is free. After that, we ask for £20 to cover the rest of the course – that payment is then deducted from the annual membership subscription for those joining the club by the end of the course. We supply all the equipment but please wear flat shoes and be aware that, unlike some sports, croquet can be played in all weathers.
Enrol on 2 April or in advance by contacting Graham Brightwell, tel. 0208 979 9176;
