05.01.2022 What a difference a coat of paint makes. A humungous thank you to Bunnings, Epsom with help from their mates at Kangaroo Flat Bunnings and Woodturners for turning our delapidated benches in to their former glory. A community project for them with an amazing outcome for all croquet players to enjoy.

A big thank you to all our members who donated the prizes, homemade goodies for afternoon tea and their time in setting up, arranging the draw, keeping things running smoothly throughout the day etc etc. Wendy from Golden Square won the day winning all her games. A great effort considering she is a relatively new player. Sandy from Maldon was runner up. Here are a few photos for you all to enjoy.
