ASHBY CROQUET CLUB Learn To Play Croquet courses & Group Taster Sessions

LEARN TO PLAY CROQUET

Each year in June we run an Introduction to Croquet course for people new to the game. This year's course will consist of two evening sessions (on Tuesday 7th and 14th June, 7.00 to 9.00 pm), introducing participants to the rules and tactics of Golf Croquet.

The cost of the course is £10.00, which includes temporary membership of the club for the duration of the course, so you are welcome to come along and play during club sessions. When the course has finished, there is of course no obligation to join the Club as a full member, but lots of course participants do become addicted to croquet and we offer the remainder of your first year's membership at half price (e.g. Standard membership £29 instead of £58). We can also offer further coaching in Golf Croquet and an introduction to Association Croquet on an individual or group basis according to demand.

The course is free to children under 18 accompanied by a participating adult.

The course takes place on the Ashby Croquet Club lawns at Moira Miners Welfare sports ground, Bath Lane, Moira DE12 6BP.

All equipment is provided for the course; the only requirement is that flat soled shoes or trainers be worn. Please also bring wet-weather clothing just in case, although we do have shelters available which are useful during heavy showers!

To reserve a place on the course, please contact (tel 01283 703585) or (tel. 01283 223152). Alternatively just turn up to the first session and we should be able to fit you in.

If you are unable to attend both sessions – don't worry, just come along to one of them and we can arrange one-to-one tuition to make up for the session you missed.

If you are interested in learning the game but can't wait until the course, just come along to one of our club sessions (Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5pm or Sunday afternoons) to learn the basics and enjoy a friendly game.

GROUP TASTER SESSIONS

Also, we can arrange croquet taster sessions for outside groups and organisations, e.g. WI groups and Round Table. The charge for a two-hour session in 2012 is £4.50 per person, with a minimum charge of £45.00 (i.e. 10 people). Our taster sessions are proving to be as popular as ever, and our slots for 2012 are filling up fast. For more details about taster sessions, please contact (tel 01283 703585) or (tel. 01283 223152).
