Croquet is one of UK's best-kept sports secrets - an outdoor game which you can play at all ages and which can be fun, skillful and demanding, all at the same time.  And Sussex County Croquet Club (SCCC) has everything you need to try it out. The club is near to Shoreham, between Brighton and Worthing, easy to find and has free parking.You can get a map and find out more about the Club here.

There are two types of croquet played at SCCC, knows as golf croquet and association croquet.  We have expert coaches and programmes to show you how to play both. You don't need any equipment yourself to start with - just flat-soled footwear such as trainers or plimsolls.  Find out more here.

With 11 lawns, SCCC is the focus of a huge amount of tournament play so if you have a competitive streak and live in reach of Brighton, it's definitely the croquet club to join. Become a member of the UK Croquet Association as well and you can play in all the open tournaments here and around the country as well.

Future events this winter season - by Chris Constable 18/01/2010 @ 20:03

Hopefully the bad weather is behind us and we can start to look forward to longer days and the new croquet season.

 

The good news is that lawns 4,5,6 and 10 and 11 will be open from today ( Monday 18th January)

 


Fundraising news

The January and February draws of the100 Club will take place at the Christmas Lunch (31st January).

Members can subscribe to this year’s draw by the start of the season – draws run from April to March. Please consider supporting us!

Shortly appearing on the produce stall will be our own organic AOC jam – mulberry!

I am desperate for jam jars – please leave at the club, clean and preferably with the labels removed. Then you might get some more Seville orange marmalade! Or would someone else like to make some?


Forthcoming Events

Quiz – Saturday 13th February 7pm. £9 to include fish and chip supper – please book with me. 01903 205664. Or sign on the board.

Sunday Lunch 21st February. £7. Watch the board for details or contact Sandra Tusler on 01403 268413. This will be followed by a catering meeting at approximately 2.15pm. Please come along if you have helped or are interested in helping in any capacity. We need your help!

Skittles evening Saturday 27th February, 6.45pm for a 7pm start. Cost £6 to include a finger buffet. Please sign up on the board, or contact Pamela Mason. 01273 503527


The Christmas Bazaar was cancelled unfortunately, but we will hold something similar on Opening Day ( Good Friday 2nd April) – a Bring and Buy, and Plant Stall

So please donate your unwanted presents, produce and bric-a-brac, and start thinking ahead for plants.

Please see the Winter Programme for other information and dates.

Because of the refurbishments to the bar and canteen, and then the weather, there were no social events before Christmas. Please support the forthcoming events and allow us to catch up!

Lastly, are there one or two of you who can make curtains? We have the material for new curtains for the canteen. The old ones are looking very dowdy.
