Friday 12th August
Another excellent day enjoyed by all including some yummy chocolate oat biscuits from Carol and butterfly cakes made by Chloe and Ellie. It was Trevor's birthday so a special candle was lit and blown out. A light shower tried to stop us but failed.
This week we had two courts in operation thanks to Letchworth Croquet Club who loaned a set of hoops.
Trevor and Sheila beat Liz and Paul +1
Peter and Geraldine beat Stuart and Anne +2 but video evidence shows that Peter took croquet instead of taking a continuation shot. Unfortunately his opponents didn't spot this error so it was condoned and Peter made a cool 3 hoops in that break instead of 1. It shows that you have to keep an eye on proceedings.
Trevor and Anne beat Paul and Sheila +1
Peter and Carol beat Stuart and Liz +5
Liz and Duncan beat Peter and Annette +3
Most games were very close indeed and we had our first double peg out by Liz and Paul - a great achievement. Duncan gave a bit more coaching on how to set up breaks. All in all there has been amazing progress in just three weeks and the enthusiasm is brilliant. See the video below for the action.
All members are invited to come next Friday at 2.30.
