Wednesday 3rd October, Moira Report by Eileen
Eight members of Ashby Croquet Club’s “B” and “C” league teams hosted a friendly golf croquet event with members of Darley Dale Croquet Club.
We played seven rounds of thirty minutes duration the winner being the player with most hoops scored. The doubles partnerships were mixed so that everyone played with a different partner in each round. Sometimes with a player from their own club and sometimes with a player from the other club. This encouraged an opportunity for people to socialise with new acquaintances throughout the day.
Ashby players provided a lavish lunch for all to enjoy. Jenny liaised with Darley Dale prior to the event and was the manager on the day. Eileen produced the playing order.
Peter Richards was the winner with 42 hoops, Lesley Leitch had 41, Eileen had 40 and Carolle had 36. Margaret was the top Darley Dale player.
It appeared to be a great success and we hope to arrange other social days next year.
