Beverley and East Riding Croquet Club plays its croquet on the south-facing lawns of Rowley Manor near Little Weighton, just outside both Beverley and Hull. There really could be no finer setting! At our backs are the walls and woodland of the manor; in front we gaze out over a panorama of rolling fields stretching towards the Humber.
Current membership is quite small – we need more members! – and made up of a cross section of society. Croquet isn’t only played by ‘posh’ people!
The mood at club sessions is generally relaxed, but there are internal events and regional and national leagues and tournaments for those who wish to play competitively. These cater for all levels of player from beginner to expert.
We have club afternoons on Mondays and Tuesday afternoons and Saturday mornings, but members are able to come and play on any day at any time from April to October.
The club is a member of theYorkshire Croquet Federation, which coordinates clubs in the region, and organises leagues, development and coaching throughout the three Ridings of Yorkshire.
We’re also a member club of Croquet England, which is the governing body for croquet throughout the country.
