Calling all AC Players
A reminder that if you would like to play for Chester at AC in the Southport Festival and you haven’t yet replied I’d love to hear from you!
It’s happening on Saturday and Sunday, 14-15 August, and you can play either on a single day or on both days; and chose which event is for you.
The following AC events are being played:
-
- Handicap AC: Teams of 3 players playing 18-point games with adjusted full handicaps played to a base of 6
- Short lawn AC: Teams of 3 playing 14 point games played with gross handicaps (i.e. no base)
- Advanced rules AC: Teams of 2 players playing all-play-all events comprising both singles and doubles games
Once I have the list of people I’ll organise the teams to represent Chester at the Festival.
Thanks

Calling all GC players
Don’t miss the chance to play at Southport this year. It is later than usual due to COVID, but will be just as much fun in August as in June !
For those of you who have never been before, this is a really good opportunity to meet and play against a wide variety of players from other clubs in the region. The lawns are good and there are a lot of them, the location is great and the food is usually excellent !
Robin Tasker has circulated an e-mail giving basic information, and I am now on the hunt for people specifically wanting to play GC, either on Saturday or Sunday, or both. Once we know who is interested we can start to put together the Handicap and Level Play teams for the weekend, and discuss travel arrangements with you.
So ….please let me know asap !
In anticipation

The North West Federation’s 2021 Festival of Croquet is planned to be held on Saturday and Sunday, 14-15 August, at the Southport and Birkdale Croquet Club.
This event will follow appropriate regulations and guidance applicable at the time with regard to Covid-19.

Tea/coffee, lunch and afternoon tea will be available on the day at a cost yet to be notified. But of course you are welcome to bring along your own.
We need to notify the organisers of Chester’s involvement in this Festival.
This is always a friendly and enjoyable event. If you would like take part in one of the Chester teams, for association croquet please contact Robin Tasker and for golf croquet please contact Jayne Taylor before Wednesday, 30 June.
Please indicate on which days you are willing to play and in which team(s), and whether you want lunch/afternoon tea/tea and coffee. Also please indicate if you intend to travel each day or stay overnight. Robin and Jayne will co-ordinate daily travel so that the number of cars is minimised but within any Covid-19 regulations.
The club pays the entry fees, you pay any food cost and contribute to the travel cost.
We look forward to hearing from you!
