Croquet:   What, Where and When

About the Croquet Club

We play “Golf Croquet” – the simpler and less demanding version of the sport – where the first player/pairing to get one ball through a hoop wins that hoop and the first to seven hoops wins the game.

Play takes place every Wednesday and Friday afternoons (weather permitting!) from mid-April until late October on two carefully rolled and mowed lawns at the Hamcrate Sports Field (off Sussex Fram Way, Yetminster, DT9 6SZ).

Play starts around 3.00pm and carries on for a couple of hours.

No weekly Green or Lawn Fees are charged for use of the Balls & Hoops used to mark out the playing areas, or use of the Club mallets for those who don’t have their own personal ones.

How to Play.

Well, with as much skill as you can muster – Obviously!

Seriously, we play for enjoyment – even during the Annual Inter-Village Competition, when we take on the might of Leigh, Chetnole et al.

Training and advice will be freely given by your fellow players, and we can all call upon the services of English International Player if necessary and we get competitive.

We have a mini tournament towards the end of the season with random pairings then taking others on a knockout basis, aiming to have fun and win the Prize Cup.
