The U3A Croquet Group play on Thursday mornings, 10.00 to 12.00, at the Eynsham Croquet Club, School Piece Field, Cassington Road, Eynsham OX29 4DB. Due to popular demand, the group has expanded its numner of sessions. Tuesdays 2 – 4; Wednesdays 5 -dusk; Thursdays 10 – 12; Saturdays 2 – 4.
Members of Witney U3A first started playing with the Eynsham Croquet Club in 1998 and some of those members are still playing!
Golf croquet is easy to learn and can be enjoyed by all abilities, it does not take long to be able to enjoy the sociable friendly games we play. A partner is not needed and we try to ensure that beginners are playing with more experienced players to guide them.
Although generally viewed as a summer game, we actually play throughout the year, weather and court conditions permitting. We always try to play in all weathers and, unlike cricket, rain or snow does not stop play. But we do prefer sunnier weather!
Equipment is provided, it is requested only that players wear flat-soled shoes.
The cost is £3 per session for U3A members; free for the first three sessions.
New members are very welcome. Contact the Croquet Group Leader. Alternatively contact us through this link to the Groups Administrator or before or after a Thursday U3A General Meeting at The High Street Methodist Church.
