Toowoomba Croquet Club Inc

Our club hosted a croquet friendship day today with members joining us from Dalby, Kingaroy, West Toowoomba and Laurel Bank Park Croquet Clubs. It was a fun day good games and great company

Today, I took my Aunty Girtie's mallet that a cousin had lent to me to my club. I was curious to try it out and compare it with my 'you-beaut' modern day mallet. Well, as an absolute coincidence, another cousin presented at our club for a try out of our wonderful game. Auntie Girtie was Debra's Nanna and how special it was for the both of us to use this mallet which we both assumed may have been used as early as the 1940's but definitely in the 1950's and 60's. It still had a lovely feel to it but I won't be trading in my red stallion.

We hosted a group of service men and women who are part of Republic of Singapore Air Force Oakey Helicopter Group. They came along for a fun morning before moving on to more training.
Our club volunteers made the day enjoyable for the players who were very enthusiastic and enjoyed the experience.

On Friday our club hosted 38 Airforce pilots from Singapore who are currently training at the Oakey Air Base on a two year rotation

Great fun laughter and some serious competitiveness was shared by all as we played golf croquet
