What a fun day!!………

Final attendance count was bang on 50 people, although admittedly a couple of those were a little small to play Croquet. Country Club were absolutely brilliant and set aside two Croquet pitches for us. Tom, you would have been disappointed to learn that some of the more ‘creative’ rules have been removed from the game, and as a result no balls were sent to disrupt those on the cricket pitch or the kiddies party that was taking place. Our two local experts, Victor & John, were loaned to us from the club for the day and were great at helping us all learn the new international rules. Despite their instruction things did become somewhat ‘competitive’ in a number of games.

The beers went down superbly in the baking Highveld sun, and miraculously we were spared a downpour. The Club produced some great snacks and fillet rolls that were devoured by those who were able to stay on. I have attached a couple of photos to the posting, which will hopefully give you an idea of how the day went.

Thanks to all of you who made it and those who generously paid and made donations even though they couldn’t…
