A team of golf croquet players spent Saturday and Sunday 6^th and 7^th July at Southwick competing in the Southern Challenge. Twelve teams from all over the south east played in eleven rounds of golf resulting in Rottingdean winning the trophy

Members poured into the club on Sunday 30^th June.  first to compete in the fun games and then to enjoy the Strawberry Tea. Several fun games were played with Team Black winning. The Strawberry Tea was enjoyed by just over forty members and friends.

Saturday 29^th June  was the hottest day of the year and was certainly felt by the team from Caterham and our own team playing in a U league match.  Sadly we did not win losing 4 games to 3.

A most successful Open Day to celebrate the signing of the new twenty one year lease was held on Sunday 2nd June. A working party were at the club early to erect the gazebo, hang bunting around the grounds, blow up balloons and set out tables and chairs for our pop up tea room.

It was a slow start to the day with a few customers arriving for elevenses and a slow start for the taster session. The afternoon proved to be very different with many arriving for the taster session and the cream teas proving to be very popular. Clive gave a small speech prior to us raising our glasses of Pimm’s in a toast to the club.

Many thanks to all of you who baked cakes, helped in many ways during the day and of course the big tidy up at the end.

Eleven members joined the Bowlers for their Hog Roast (pulled pork) where we were warmly welcomed. To sum up our day it was voted a great success

Our first visit to Hever Festival Open-Air Theatre was on Friday 31^st May to see Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense performed by The Little Bromley Theatre Company. The three members of the cast were kept on their toes producing this humours production. A very welcome Cream Tea followed.

On Saturday 25^th May eight golf croquet players competed for the Tankard. An enjoyable day was had by all after a disappointing start when one of the entrants failed to attend. The non – playing manager stepped in to play and she would like to thank the competitors for all their help during the day. After seven hard fought fifty minute rounds Ron was presented with the Tankard Trophy for winning seven out of eight games.

A warm welcome to Laura who has just joined the club.
