Beverley Croquet Club Social Event – 14th July 2024
Twelve members descended on the Croft at Little Weighton for lunch on 14th July. Sally, our Club Social Secretary arranged the event. The menu was very varied and the food was very good. Those that attended chose their meal and drinks and then paid for what they’d ordered – very straightforward.
The group had originally intended to go on to Rowley and play croquet after lunch, but it wasn’t to be. It wasn’t the alcohol that stopped play, no, no; it was the weather. It just didn’t stop raining. That aside, it was a lovely opportunity to socialise and to get to know people outside of their own croquet game preferences. We had Golf Croquet players in attendance, Association Croquet players, U3A players, and one long standing member from the Association Croquet side who had retired from the game due to ill-health, came along to share the occasion and reminisce. It was a l lovely mix of people.
Sally, for those of you who don’t know her, can be identified from the photograph. She is sitting third from the top on the lefthand side of the table and, yes, the expression on her face tells you she is in her element. She’s very good at organising these events and on this occasion, she turned what could have been a wet blanket day into a delightful union. Thank you, Sally.
The news is, she is going to organise more of these – watch this space.
