| BEGINNERS' COURSE WEEK
3, Thursday 23rd May We're still managing to get a lot of people along to the Beginners' Course, the majority of which are from the Taster Days - which only goes to show what a good idea they have been this year. Many club members are still needed to lend a hand and make the evening a success... let's hope for better weather this week when even more people are expected! |

EXTRA COACHING ON A MONDAY
|
For 2013, the club ladder competitions have been revised. All friendly games, both handicap and level, played on a full lawn throughout the season can be played as ladder games provided both players agree before the games are played. The games can be of any format or length. The ladder games will be put on Handicap Cards and entered on the results sheet pinned to the Notice Board. The new Monday competition games will all be ladder games. 14 point single games on a large lawn in the Wednesday competition can also be included if both players agree. No other competitive games can be included. The Handicap ladder table will be based on the percentage wins, while the Level ladder will use a form of the grading system.
Welcome to Bowdon Croquet Club 2013...

We are a thriving active club and welcome new members (see New Members section for an application form or just come and visit).
The club has room for four superb
full size lawns maintained to a high standard providing first class
playing facilities to all members.
A six-week beginners' coaching course is held every summer from May into June, at a cost of around £35.
Bowdon members who joined during the last year can also attend, if they so desire, free of charge.
To book, or for more details, please contact Charles on 0161 980 6419. Coaching is also available free on a one-to-one basis at all times.
The 2013 croquet season runs from March until October when three full size lawns and two short lawns are laid out.
Limited play is permitted during the winter months.
Bowdon hosts several Croquet Association tournaments each year.
