Internal Competitions - 16/06/2020 21:30

All the doubles internal competition draws are now on the website. Please note the dates by which rounds must be completed.


Phishing emails - 11/06/2020 13:24

There are a number of emails circulating, perporting to come from well-known croquet figures. They appear more realistic as they contain references to croquet.

Please check the actual email address rather than simply the name to verify the source of emails.


Jeff Rushby - 10/06/2020 14:42

Sadly Jeff Rushby a life member and great supporter of SCCC and of Caterham died on 3 June.    Jeff was always very helpful with new players and a generous member who donated many items to the club.   He will be missed. 

Jeff won a number of competitions at Southwick: the New Challenge Cup in 2010 and 2011, the D'Esterre Rose Bowl in 2014 and the Pat Shine Salvers in 2013 and 2018.

New look club website - 29/05/2020 08:07

The club website has been given a make-over. There have been a lot of changes 'under the bonnet' so if anything doesn't work as you expect do please let the Webmaster know.

Further changes to follow in due course - longer if this lovely weather continues!


Situation on this competition

On Monday the Committee decided to run the tournament on the 26th of June. Roger am devising a system so that no gathering around the notice board needs to occur.  We have provisionally limited the number of entries to 22 but this may change if we think we can double-bank at the end of June or we may run the tournament over two days. At the moment the first 22 entrants have been confirmed and Roger will advise the others what is happening.

If you have entered but no longer wish to play please email Roger as soon as possible.


Internal Competitions for 2020

Information from Roger Sutton

The draw for the internal singles competitions has now been made and these will be found on our website shortly.

This year I will not be posting them on our notice board.

When you book a lawn please advise Francis that you are playing a match.

Some of the matches may take over the two-hour slot so please advise how much time you think you will need.

When the match has been played please e mail the result to results@sussexcountycroquetclub.org.uk

The result will then be posted onto the website.

This year the wearing of whites for competitions is optional however wearing white will indicate to other players that you are in a match and should not be disturbed.

Please be aware of the play-by dates, we have lost two months of the season so it is important to adhere to them. It is the responsibility of both players to organize and get the game played. You will have less time to get your matches played.

Please note the following changes to competition details:

AC Daldy: only three entrants so it is now in American Block format.
