We have five lawns, so everyone is welcome to come and play; whether it's your first time or your lasting passion!

Autumnal internal. Our 'Class of '26' newbies day saw 10 of this season's 'new to croquet' cohort take to the lawns, one of whom had only been a member less than 24 hours! After a pair of tight semi's the final was contested by Robert Bellfield and Jason Boothman, with Robert going on to chalk up the win. Many thanks to all the competitors, you were all great and your enthusiasm was admirable on a day that was far nippier than it looks in the pictures!

Some pics of the recent B Level National Final hosted by us. Many congrats to the eventual winner Alan Dix (Bowdon) and runner-up Sally Helvey (Bath) and to all the entrants for playing out the weekend in such a great atmosphere. Summed up perfectly by the presentation pic! Libby's full report in the first comment.

He's brand new to croquet, been with us less than a month and has already recorded his first competitive win.. and then 2nd... in a remarkable contribution (he won his doubles too) during our 10-8 victory in the NW handicap league against Tattenhall. All hail Robert Bellfield!!

Congratulations to Andrew Gould for a well deserved 6&6 win at our internal Level Play yesterday! A small but perfectly formed field of seven who dodged the rain showers to compete all vs all. Some quirky and inconsistent results (other than Mr Gould), made for a fun day which saw Dave Hunt-Jackson and Mike Bradbury finish on four wins each, with Mike necking the runners-up medal on hoop difference. Result of the day arguably Jez Town's golden hoop victory over last year's champion Ian Longstaff, a match-up with an 8 pt handicap difference. Way to go Jez Town! The way being the route to the handicapper's office for a "little chat"....!

A good win for Pendle in the pairs-based Cross Pennine Championship at Ripon on Sunday. In Eurovision style, we get to host next year's comp, back in Lancashire... that used to be Yorkshire... don't go there, it's still contentious!

Your winners from this weekend's Pendle Summer AC Handicap Trophy; Champion Peter Johnson from Huddersfield, playing in his first tournament. Congrats Peter! And for the fastest game; Malcolm Tingle from York who is about to celebrate his 88th. Happy birthday Malcolm! Both seen receiving their silverware from CqE Vice President, Eileen Magee.

Green is the new brown... we've got out lawns back. Big up to the mowing team who finally got a 4-in-1treatment down on Wed just before the rains came. And look at us now, everything's croquet doquet!

Forty three visitors to our Open Day saw fun & games for all ages, from 5 to 93 💜 Easy Sunday kinda vibe in thankfully cooler conditions. Eight people seriously thinking about joining. Three already have, as soon as they got home!

Listen to our Chairman on Yorkshire Dales' Drystone Radio talking about Sunday's Open Day and the joys of smashing balls away in "The nasty game for nice people"...
