We had the great pleasure of hosting an afternoon event on Thursday for the members of the newly formed Mersea Croquet Club. We welcomed 14 Mersea members, all new to croquet, who were paired against 14 Colchester members for a series of doubles matches. Each game was played to five hoops, allowing for a steady rotation throughout the afternoon.
Despite a brief downpour, during which we took refuge in the clubhouse for tea and coffee, the weather remained mostly sunny—though a bit on the chilly side. Everyone had a wonderful time, and we hope the Mersea players took away some helpful tips for their own matches.
We also look forward to seeing them again and hope they’ll take advantage of our Winter membership and join us for this year’s Winter league.
