SWINGING SUNDAY
Diana Jerman won the first of this year's Swinging Sunday competitions on Sunday, 28th June
Are you a new player, who joined this year or last?
If you have recently joined us and are wondering how to progress, then Swinging Sundays are for you!
We play 2 games of short croquet, usually twice a month depending on lawn availability.
The aim is to give you experience of playing proper games, to meet fellow players and to learn the etiquette of croquet in a relaxed setting.
We follow the rules of short croquet and there is a winner each week. We can cater for 2 - 10 players, with no standard expected.
There is no need to book - just turn up just before 10.15am on 19th July, 9th August, 23rd August & 6th September.
We usually finish just before 1 pm so that those who have a traditional Sunday lunch can get home in time!

ALSO, the new members have agreed to meet on Friday mornings, starting at 10am, for some informal sessions. They will be supervised by experienced Bowdon players and the first one started on 17th July. They will comprise of individual games on short lawns with on-court suggestions being given re the line of play to take, with extra bisques being available. As the sessions progress, play will gradually be refined so that, by the end of the year, players will be familiar with the proper rules and scope of Short Croquet.

July 24th & 31st, August 7th, 14th & 21st, September 4th, 18th & 25th.
