WITH the end of year fast approaching, the completion of the 2025 club competitions for croquet took place.
This time it was handicapped doubles.
Partners were drawn as follows:
Judy Hopkins & Dianne Shanley, Al Minis & Denise Bruce, Bev Fagan and Greg Bell and Alec Bruce and Chris Sims.
Play started at 8.00am in order to beat the heat or any storm that may have presented itself later in the day.
Vice President Denise gave a warm welcome to all.
Games Captain Bev Murray then reminded all that this was a handicapped event and therefore would be played as Advantage Play.
Again, there were some very close scores, along with a couple of ‘on-the-day – good players out of luck’ scenarios.
Well done though to all participants, it was a nice culmination to the year.
Winners were: Al Minis & Denise Bruce, while runners-up were Alec Bruce & Chris Sims.
President Ashleigh had returned by lunch and presented medals to our 2025 Doubles Winners and Runners-up.
Next Sunday our Gloucester Club will host members from our Mid North Coast group for our Christmas Party.
This will also be a presentation of winners from the 2025 MNCCC competitions.
