Club sessions
Club sessions take place on Monday and Tuesday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Association croquet is generally what is played at these session. But Golf Croquet is played at this club and the courts can be booked for this purpose.
The session usually lasts for two hours, and afternoon sessions begin at 2pm, morning session at 10 am.
We generally draw cards for these sessions to see who plays with who because it is a good way of getting to know people and a good way of improving your game. Everyone is very friendly and willing to offer advice if it is sought.

The Swanland U3A group use the lawns on Friday afternoons and the Cottingham U3A use the lawns on Friday mornings – both groups play golf croquet.
The lawns are mowed twice a week and are maintained by the Council.
The Club has to teams that compete in the Yorkshire Federation League; this involves away and home games; home games are generally played on Sundays, but it is not every Sunday and where a home game is proposed it appears on the and there are league matches played throughout the season which usually take place on Sundays, though not every Sunday. If you look at the lawn bookings before your intended play, it will indicate whether a lawn is free.
