Play Croquet
Croquet: six hoops, four balls, a mallet and a patch of grass. Sounds easy enough?
However croquet is a game of skill and strategy, angles, tactics and guile. A bit like snooker on grass. It is enjoyable at all levels and you don’t need to be an athlete to play it.
There is an excellent facility in Basingstoke with a top class lawn and a cosy clubhouse.
If you would like to give it a try we will be having an open day on Saturday 26th June. Just turn up any time between 10am and 2pm. Equipment will be provided, just wear casual comfortable clothes and flat shoes. There is no charge for try-out. While you are waiting we have some excellent training videos on the website - well worth a look.
If you can’t make it that day please use the contact form on the website and we can arrange a convenient time for you to come for a try-out.
We are based in St Andrews Road in South Ham, please see our website for more information:
