Yes, we had twenty five people playing croquet this afternoon! We organised into eleven doubles teams, and one of three players taking it in turns to play as a pair. The main lawn was split into two so that we could have four teams on each of the three courts. Double-banking enabled us to have twenty four players playing at the same time. Each game was limited to thirty minutes, so we could finish our min-leagues (three games each) in two and half hours. Everyone had an additional game, playing another team from a different mini-league, based on their league position. The winners of each league played semi-finals and in the end Roger won. Well, actually Alison won, assisted by Roger. Okay they both won. Actually we all won, because it was fun!
That’s enough rambling. Here are some photos.
