Only 3 lawns were required for the first 3 days owing to the number of entrants entered in the Advanced/Level Play section so a lawn was made available for club members not in the competition to come down and play their matches. While there was a full compliment of players for the Handicap Play section, there was some lawn space available in the evenings when Golf Croquet was introduced as part of the tournament.

Saturday - Monday, Advanced/Level Play: 13 players competed, 10 of which are Bowdon members.
