LAST weekend the Gloucester courts were alive with colour as Gloucester members were hosts for the Mid North Coast district Christmas luncheon.
Some 30 players from Taree, Forster, Port Macquarie and Gloucester met.
Included during the day was the presentation of trophies for friendship days held during the year. It was also opportune time to hold our annual meeting where dates for the 2026 season were discussed and locked in.
President Ashleigh Hickman welcomed everyone, and social play took place while club representatives (two from each) met for the annual meeting.
Following a delicious lunch prepared by the Gloucester members, more social play took place.
It was a most enjoyable day which had rounded off a most enjoyable year of friendly competition between our other member clubs.
Following our own Club Christmas lunch on 14th December, Gloucester will go into recess at the end of that week and return with a special afternoon on 26th January for an Australia Day barbecue evening commencing 4.00pm and some fun skills and social play.
Gloucester Croquet wishes all a safe and Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026.
