For many people Croquet is a game that conjures up images of a bygone era however the game today is offered in many forms and is gaining in popularity. The Warwick Croquet community play several disciplines each Tuesday, Thursday and often on Saturdays.

A small group of Warwick Croquet players were on court on Tuesday (Oct 26) for their weekly game of the Ricochet. In a close game Tony Hinde, Dorothy Gartery and Jill Birthwhistle defeated Julie Grayson and Lesley Grayson 14-13.

On Thursday a larger group played Golf Croquet. Rhyl Dearden and Barb Morrison both played well each scoring a Hole in One.
