A Weston Green community group got together on a chilly but sunny morning at Ember Croquet. It had been a while since they had all seen each other socially, so to have the chance of a hot drink, croissant and a gentle game of croquet was the perfect tonic.
Jan, who organised the event, said, “What fun!!! Thanks so much for such a great morning we all loved it! We so look forward to the next one! Could I organise another one with another group of my friends? If you would not mind? Anyway a million thanks it was great getting out and socialising I didn’t realise how much I missed that until today!“
The group arranged themselves into pairs and three games were played simultaneously on three small croquet courts. So all twelve guests were actively involved taking turns to hit a ball across the lawn and through the hoops in a version of the game called Golf Croquet.
Ember Croquet welcomes individuals and groups to come along and have an afternoon of fun playing Golf Croquet. You can also try the traditional game of Association Croquet, either in a group, or with club members on a Sunday afternoon or an early Tuesday evening. You can be assured all precautions are taken to maintain social distance and all equipment sanitised before and after use.
If you are interested please contact croquet@embersportsclub.org.uk. We will be pleased to accommodate you.
Thanks go to Sport England and players of the National Lottery for supporting us with their Return to Play grant award, making this activity possible.
