Croquet is a fascinating game played by men and women of all ages. It is a summer sport played outdoors on a grass court the size of two tennis courts. It is a sport which successfully combines ball skills, tactics, sociability and excitement.
Bath Croquet Club has 4 full sized lawns and is based in the centre of Bath on the Recreation Ground, opposite Bath Rugby. For further information please contact Daniel Mills at croquetdan*hotmail.com (replace * with @)

Bradforth Wins Women's Championship
|

|
Bath's top ranked player Louise Bradforth (pictured) repeated her 2007 triumph by winning the Women's Championship at Budleigh Salterton.
Bath's own Richard Stopforth was a deserving winner of the 2008 Millennium Cup held over the last weekend of June. He convincingly defeated fellow Bath player David Perkins +17 in the final of the two day event. In so doing Stopforth reduced his handicap to 10, won his CA Bronze Award and finished the tournament with 6 wins out of 6.
This year's Walter May Doubles Tournament produced a very exciting final between local pair Richard and Connie Stopforth and the eventual winners Cliff Jones and Julie Horsley.
(Full reports on all these stories and more can be found on the 'Tournament Reports 2008' and 'League Matches 2008' pages)
Bath Croquet Club's 2008 beginners coaching course was successfully completed and 7 new members joined the club.
If you are interested in taking up the game in the future please email your details to croquetdan*hotmail.com (replace * with @) We will then be able to keep you updated with details of our 2009 course which is likely to commence in May 2009.
