WHO’S HOOPING TO BE A
PARISH CHAMP? INTERESTED
IN CROQUET?
The Jersey Croquet Club is a small friendly club, based at Les Quennevais
and playing on a Tuesday evening from April to late September. Croquet
itself is an easy game to pick up the basics, and an ongoing game to work
out good tactics, but, above all, we like to have fun and some laughs
along the way (it’s also easy to keep your distance from each other!). We
run a few simple tournaments for members during the season, and this
year we’re hoping to run an inter-parish competition, with winners to be
crowned at the end of the summer. The trouble is we don’t have members
from each parish to make it a proper showdown, and we’d like to put that
right. So, if there are any interested St Helier parishioners who’d like to step
up to the challenge – or if you’d just like to come up and have some fun,
then please get in touch, or pop up to the greens once we’ve been able to
safely restart play on a Tuesday: you’ll be assured of a warm welcome.
If you’d like more information, find us on
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JerseyCroquetClub
