Winners, Robbers, and Radio Silence – Caversham Croquet Club

All in a day on Sat 9th Sept.

Where there’s a Will there’s a double Winner!

**Winners of the GC Doubles Competition. Will Watson and Anne Small.** Will also won the Singles Competition.

Point of Order. GC Singles Final. Will with Referee Brian Jamieson preventing a crushing defeat for Pam.

Many thanks to Brian Jamieson, recovering from recent surgery to his hand, for dedicating a whole day to being on the lawn – first to Referee the Final of our GC Singles Competition, during which Will learned a thing or two about crushes and double hits! – and then to doing an interview on Hospital Radio Reading about our links to the Southern Croquet Association, amongst other topics discussed.

Maurice and Graeme broadcasting and trying to keep in the shade outside our Clubhouse.

A friend gave me this old Croquet Association Handbook from 1949 so whilst the Broadcast was running a few of us tried to figure out the Rules for Robber Croquet. It is a version of what is better known as Pirates. I think this could be a fun game to include more people on the lawn at some our our event days. More anon!
