Coogee Croquet Club will celebrate its growing membership via a “New Members Day” happening on 10 April 2022.
Despite COVID-19, Coogee Croquet Club’s membership has grown 30 per cent, welcoming 13 new members since 1 July 2021. To celebrate the milestone, CCC will hold a “New Members Day” event for new and long-time members to get together for a “sausage sizzle and a game or two.”
“It’s time to celebrate! Winding up for another year of fun, friends and challenges on the lawns. Noting that we have had lots more new members during COVID, it’s time to get together,” Club President, Robert King said.
“It is a tremendous privilege to be the patron of this fantastic club, which despite all obstacles has continued to grow,” Member for Coogee, Marjorie O’Neill said.
“The club’s membership has grown by over 30% in the past year but there is always room for more. If you haven’t tried your hand at croquet, make this your year to grab a mallet and have a game.”
What is Golf Croquet?
Golf Croquet is a variation of croquet with slightly different rules and field layouts. The game requires players to hit balls through hoops with the aim of being the first to score seven hoops.
The balls are played in this order: blue, red, black, yellow; the first player runs the blue ball, then the second hits the red, and so on. In contrast to Association croquet, each Golf Croquet player only has one hit per turn instead of a series of consecutive shots.
Coogee Croquet Club is situated at Bardon Park, in Bream Street, Coogee, between Mount Street and Brook Street and opposite the CoogeeTennis Club and the Coogee Bowling Club. The Club members meet every Friday from 2 pm to 8 pm and play games of Golf Croquet.
Those interested in becoming a member may email the Coogee Croquet Club or simply drop by any day when the members are playing. More details about joining the club can be found here.
