2022 Events
6th May 2022 Friendly at Dulwich
Several of us travelled the short distance to Dulwich croquet club, where we played 11 games during a sunny afternoon, and enjoyed tea. The games were much closer that the result of Dulwich 7, Sydenham 4, as several ran out of time with only one hoop difference between the pairs.
Sat May 21st 2022
We held our grand opening and invited people who had helped with our move in various ways. Cllr. Susan Wise cut a ribbon across a hoop, through which Cllr. Chris Best then hit a ball. We toasted the occasion appropriately, and had afternoon tea.
