Club coaches Cathie and John check out the new national coaching syllabus being pioneered at York Croquet Club this yearYork Croquet Club is set to throw open its doors to celebrate National Croquet Day.
Croquet is proving a big hit with newcomers this season. The Club has experienced a surge of interest from those wanting to try the friendly and socially-distanced game, and is now putting on extra introductory courses to cater for the demand.
The free drop-in is at the Club lawns. All are welcome. There is no need to book – just turn up with flat-soled footwear to enjoy the game. “Croquet is very much the game of the moment,” said Club chairman John Harris. “It’s an absorbing outdoor game suitable for all ages and abilities.” A York versus East Riding game will be in progress on an adjacent lawn sop visitors will also be able to see regional croquet in action.
