Latest News July 2010

 "WESTON SUPER MARE CROQUET CLUB held their annual Daphne Holland Shield competition at the club's ground in Bleadon on Friday 1st July 2010. This is a Golf Croquet handicap competition, the overall winner being Lance Binning from Cheddar who defeated Peter Aynsley from Bleadon in a hard fought final.(see photos below)

Weston-super-Mare Croquet Club, which is now playing at Bleadon has had some very good news from the BBC Radio Somerset.   Due to the new development of their three large lawns and sheds, and its very attractive site in     Bleadon, coupled with its large increase in membership, all of whom are thoroughly enjoying the pleasure of playing the game of croquet, the Club has been awarded the ‘Sports Club of the Year in Somerset’ for 2008.  There was stiff competition for this award so we feel this is a great accolade for such a small Club and for the game of croquet as a whole.

 The prize was awarded to the Club by an interview on the radio with its Chairman and all the Club members are thrilled with this recognition after such a short time playing in their new venue in Bleadon.

 Play will begin again in April 2009 and anyone who may be interested in trying the game of croquet should contact David Martin on 01934 413013.
