There are some members of our local community who are really enjoying our unseasonably wet weather. They have ventured on to the croquet lawns for the first time this year and are enjoying the lush green turf. They will find it is an active club with the Newbies end of season competition in full swing and they will undoubtedly be attracting a lot of interest from the club’s frequent visitors of seagulls, magpies and blackbirds.
Later that morning on Saturday, 28 September, some hardy members from the beginners group turned up to play in the new members open competition .
The rain held off and the lawns were luckily playable after such a lot of rain. The games were hard fought and the end result was decided by one hoop. The winner was Bob Thompson.
On the same day a Chester team of Nigel Worthington, Andy Wilson-Chalon and Val Sanders played away against Craig-y-Don in the Snowdonia Cup short lawn league. Following an earlier 6 – 3 win against Llanfairfechan the team achieved another 6 – 3 win this time. This result leaves just one further match against Tattenhall which will be played on Sunday, 6 October, at Tattenhall.
